Simplest way to say is if any part of the attacking player is in line with the defending player, then he’s onside So if the attackers back foot is in line with the defending front foot then onside But this just swaps one problem for another. You then sometimes have to mark the back of one player. A...

daylight is an absolute. you can either see it or you can't. but i'll settle for clear daylight. Offside is an absolute too It's just not that easy to measure objectively So how do you definitively say there is daylight or not? You'd need the camera angle to be at exactly the right place at the rig...

that won't simplify it. a millimeter is still a millimeter even on a football boot. daylight is the answer because it's either there or it isn't. imagine var taking 8 seconds rather than 8 minutes. Daylight doesn't solve it either What if you're not sure if it's 0.00000001mm of daylight or less And...

Offsides are automated now, he’s literally a toe offside

But they still need to check it. The line didn't look to be placed correctly on the arm

Wasn't a free kick.

100% wasn't a free kick

Baffling decision

Which will end first?

Chelsea v Fulham or mankind

He collects yellows for fun.

About one every 6 games
But most in a league campaign is 8

So suggests he's not that prolific at picking up yellow cards

I can’t recall us being connected before with players of this calibre and I’ve been following the club for over 60 years

Didn't we try and sign Mikautadze 2 years ago?

We have one loan slot available

Who else do we have on loan?

Roosterbooster

All depends on how the game goes. They have created chances against Arsenal and Fulham. If they take one, pressure is off, and we will find it very difficult to get back into it. But if they aren't ahead at half time then I can see it turning very toxic, similar to that win away at WHU a few years ago

Football is just a guessing game for him.

He's an absolute guesser. That incident down in the corner away at Preston was a perfect example of it. He had no idea what happened. So just gave Preston a free kick

Completely incapable of being a referee at any level

Just occurred to me that 90 minutes tonight feels impossible for Sonne to be in a back 5 on Saturday, given how Scott is managing the minutes. So that could be a 4. He didn't play much v Sunderland so I don't think playing 90 minutes tonight is an issue. But I agree I think he'll be on the bench on...

I get it with the player ratings, but why is the MotM vote limited to time played? Say someone had come on with 10 minutes left, we are 2-0 down, and then he scores one and sets up another. Then scores a winning pen in the shootout. His contribution would have been undoubtedly worthy of MotM, but he...

As you say, what proportion of the time so they ensure that they are stopping players from dictating the rules themselves. Hardly ever. Sometimes they get away with it, and people think they have authority because they don't dish out yellow cards everywhere and the players decide not to have a brawl...

Roosterbooster

I absolutely agree with all of that Rowls (apart from the small bit about blowing as soon as its a foul - I'd happily give the refs a few seconds, 3 or 4 fine, to think about the big decisions where a goal is possibly imminent)

9/25 is quite a generous score

Would you bring Edwards on when you’re 1-0 up with 10 mins to go ? That’s the question you need to ask . Instinctively it sounds like a bad idea. But it does give the opposition a completely different problem to deal with. One issue with defending a lead late on is that you invite pressure. And lat...

I think it will be 5 at the back still with JBL as RBW. Hope not but I think that’s the way he will go He played there against Lazio. Also Josh Laurent ended up as a RCB against Lazio. So it looks like the "5 at the back" thing is a full time goer But as people say, I don't think it's a rigid 5. Wa...

If it’s possible to be world class at a very specific part of the game, Scott Twine is a world class free kick taker. I'd like to know the stats for us. But he definitely scored one and hit the post with another. I'd be surprised if he took more than 5. Heck of a record. I cant be certain, but I wa...

Precisely this. From what VAR official said ~ (Anthony) wasn't going to get to it / not in posession of the football, they're basically inferring that it's ok to run and push players over no matter where on the pitch. It's nothing to do with whether he has the ball or not. Not for the first time, V...

The Anthony incident should have been a penalty and a sending off.

Why a sending off?

Roosterbooster

I think the Tarkowski one is really interesting and I'm not sure I know what is right and wrong yet It looks like he moves his arm towards the ball, but then moves his body towards it and pulls his arm behind his body. It definitely hits his arm, and he knows that. But when it strikes his arm, it is...

Roosterbooster

Anywhere else on the pitch it’s a foul.Maybe we should instruct our defenders to barge people in the back off the ball because apparently it’s not a foul if they’re nowhere near the ball. Exactly. If you're asking for the Anthony foul to not be a penalty, then this is precisely what you are asking ...

Honestly and I've never been more certain about anything, ever: Anthony IS NOT a Premier League wing back.

Would you start Anthony?

Many think he is fully deserving of his place, but you seem to have an anti-Anthony agenda

Roosterbooster

Playing 3 at the back only works if you have two genuine wing backs, not wingers who can defend a bit or fullbacks that like the odd forage forward, proper all action, big engined dynamos, otherwise it's pointless. Trippier for example was the best wingback in the World when England got to the semi...

If they want to get rid of timewasting then good for them, but given Spurs were awarded a corner and their player spent longer than 8 seconds stood over it before taking it I'm not too sure what this rule actually achieves You couldn't allow for more added time if the GK held on to the ball for too...

So if a player is pushed over in the area, but the ball is at the other end of the pitch, you’d want a penalty?

I would. Because they are the laws of the game

When referees, fans, players, VAR... start asking for referees to ignore the laws of the games, then we might as well just give up

Would they not have looked at the first yellow card at the time though?

The argument I was addressing was that only a 2nd yellow was looked at

Roosterbooster

Likewise a check when it's a second yellow wouldn't be unfair, but not for every yellow. What happens if a 2nd yellow is correct, but the 1st yellow was incorrect? Should VAR go back and rescind the 1st? And how do you account for the player potentially playing differently for the time period they ...
