Re the penalty decision, for me the most telling comment came from the MoTD commentator, whose immediate reaction when Amad went down was “he’ll get nothing for that.” It just didn’t look like a penalty - that’s why the ref didn’t give it. on final score the fella said 'he was tugging his shirt out...

VAR - at best 96% accurate At worst 83% accurate Depending on whether you believe the PL or University studies Can it tell if anyone is marginally offside? and at least 80% subjective which is the problem. it undermines the referee and murders the celebration of a goal. the road to hell is paved wi...

i think that the word 'simulation' has usurped 'cheating' is part of the problem but i agree.

i might be paranoid but i honestly think it is encouraged by sponsors. there's nothing like a contentious debate to sell fosters/carling/catspyss.

He falls forward because Anthony let go. I’m afraid the physics work in this particular instance. i've just watched that 'fall' three times on iplayer. he was on his way down before anthony let go of his shirt. a blatant dive and the frantic reaction afterwards is just as much cheating as the act o...

Amad is an example of what is wrong with modern football.

the fact that one injustice of modern footy is swamped by another makes me less and less interested in it.

give me five years i'll be watching ******* golf.

'Daylight' only works as a deciding factor if you can guarantee the view is at exactly 90 degrees to the touchline across the pitch. Shift it a degree or two either way and 'daylight' appears or disappears. a cogent point. perhaps more cameras? or maybe the current system (hawkeye?) with a margin o...

yTib

Daylight doesn't solve it either What if you're not sure if it's 0.00000001mm of daylight or less And you still have to mark the relative positions on the players. If anything that makes it more complicated daylight is an absolute. you can either see it or you can't. but i'll settle for clear dayli...

yTib

If that graphic shows anything of worth ( and I really don’t think it does) it shows that Foster is level. no offence but that is a nonsensical sentence. judging offside with daylight rather than fingertips will be both quicker to determine and less contentious. why this is not happening leads me t...

Or seeing as the game is called football just go off the bloody feet!! I dont care about sleeves, armpits, a cm of a knee, let's just use the bloody feet and simplify it.. that won't simplify it. a millimeter is still a millimeter even on a football boot. daylight is the answer because it's either ...

anybody paying merson a wage should be prosecuted under the animals (scientific procedures) act (1986).

daylight is much easier to see than a kneecap, fingernail, pube etc.

if i or anyone who isn't sub-normally inclined can fix this shyt shower then why can't they?

nice to see johnny and edgar winter having a kickabout though.

for bangers and mash it has to be peas and onion gravy for me as the accompaniment.

Very poor commentary in the ladies game too, with ITV much better.

Yet with the snooker it's the opposite - the BBC have the best coverage and the ITV is relatively poor.

poor cast.

the greatest bond villain that never was.

I'm impressed with the size of the briefing notes piled in front of him so at least can read quickly.

that was a colouring book.

the bbc are really selling him. there's some crap on iplayer about him as well. he must have one hell of an agent.

the red-faced bewigged gorilla looks about as comfortable in a studio as he did in the dugout.

when you say a vintage shirt do you mean a vintage burnley shirt?

For me it would be Roger Waters of Pink Floyd. Always been a fan and I’d ask him lots of questions about what goes on in his mind presently and in the past. if you ever get your wish be sure to ask roger about his views that the october 7th massacre was actually a conspiracy invented by the israeli...

Sabbath the only band I can think who pretty much kept the same line up .

they went through many line ups during the 80s. at one point iommi was the only original member.

i discovered that dual historic/modern map website some months ago and it is massively addictive, especially for someone like me who has lived all over the borough and all over england.

the first six sabbath albums are some of the best in rock.

some of his solo stuff was special too. was just listening to tribute to randy rhoads the other day.

going back to the heckenhurst ave thread, is there any evidence that there was a bigger roman influence in the area? gorple road seems to be roman, as do the structures just to the north. st. james's street is rumoured to be prehistoric as is ightenhill park lane leading to altham. has any significa...

However, that does not mean that miscarriages of justice don't matter. If Letby is innocent, she shouldn't be kept in jail because the deaths of so many babies is tragic. On the contrary, ideally the causes of death of those babies should be identified (if it hasn't been already) to ensure it doesn...

i've always considered everything beyond the thornton arms as worsthorne.

btw apparently gorple road is roman. imagine that!

jeremy hunt. i have about as much faith in him as i do in jakubclaret. both talk a lot and say nothing.

and i try never to be smug.

as i see it the evidence against letby is overwhelming.

thankfully we try suspects in courts of law and not those of popular opinion.

However, previously trusted experts in criminal cases, statisticians, politicians, reporters have and are questioning the safety of this conviction. Both in terms of the defence provided in the case, the use of statistics and the main expert witness. I just don't see how some of the people question...

I don't pretend to know the innocence or guilt in this case, but one sure way to control any debate is call any alternative a conspiracy theory.

you would of course be correct if we were discussing a debate.

this is a criminal case. she was found guilty by a jury based on tangible evidence.

yTib

well at least katie boulter got on one of the front pages today.

conspiracy theorists will always value the conspiracy more than the truth.
