  1. Hi David,

     

    In Helsingborg now :)

     

    Don't forget that I and others in here are qualified referees and have been through these discussions several times before. Yes, you're right, it's when the ball is kicked that matters but no part of the arms is considered. Any other part of the body can be offside such as the nose, knee, foot.

     

    Not far from me..don't forget to visit Helsingör too

  2. ......and about ****ing time !

     

    This has been a sore point with me and millions of fans who watch a game (especially on TV) and see "perfectly good goals " ...disallowed or not even given....because of some refereeing error.

    IMO.. There are few things that irk more than seeing goals disallowed / not allowed when millions of people see the true situation.. but the ref.(s) have missed it.

     

    This type of TV replay has been in many sports for decades past - at last Football will be dragged kicking and screaming into 21st century now that we have the technology to give us the correct answer.

     

    In an attempt to placate his many critics, (and just before his attempt to be re-elected as FIFA boss for yet another term), Sepp Blatter has stated that "trials will take place in the coming season giving managers / coaches the right to an " appeal against a wrong decision " to be decided by the match officials to see if the appeal is correct or not. (one appeal per half).

     

    The highly embarrasing miss in the 2010 World Cup when Frank Lampards "goal " was disallowed when it clearly crossed the line (before the German keeper retrieved it) was a prime example.

    The introduction of goal-line cameras has gone someway to solving that particular problem, but far more serious incidents occur in games every week that don't just rely on the ball crossing the line, or not.

     

    Saints have already been a victim of the antiquated system that presently exists when Graziano Pellé recently had a "good goal " wrongly ruled out for offside. I saw it (on TV) and so did everyone else who watched the game. Fortunately-on this occasion -it didn't affect the final result, but many times before such occurances have cost teams points and sometimes even losing the match.

     

    Let's hope that in future we can see proper results coming from the use of modern technology and not an unsighted match official.

     

    Of course it can work against us as well, but I'd prefer to see a correct decision everytime - even if it does go against us occasionally. At least the truth will prevail.

     

    No need for industrial language David

  3. Does anyone remember his return here after signing for Man City ? The abuse he received was incredible.

     

    Yes and i remember him becoming the whipping boy when he re signed for us , one game he rolled back the years beating 4 or 5 players and unluckily hitting the post , he then ran past the west stand cupping his ears.

  4. Well, clearly you did.

    It's really not difficult to spell names properly. It's just laziness otherwise. Were you one of the people who tweeted Ben Foster when we signed Forster? What a lad you are!

     

    Thank you for your typical laddish response though. Hope it made you feel big and manly. #banter #bantz #itsjustbantermate

    Slight overreaction of something do trivial maybe?? :D:D:D

  5. More than likely covered in the post match thread but anyway. Although he didn't have a lot to do apart from a point blank save I thought his handling was excellent. The first time in years I didn't get a tortoise head everytime the opposition crossed the ball, early signs good,
