Re: Steven Fletcher Retires from Football

If VAR had been around in his season with Burnley in the top flight, he'd have had a very good haul. I think there were 4 or 5 goals that season that were ruled out for offside, but he was onside.

Re: Steve Cotterill

I think you're looking at Stan's time through rose-tinted specs somewhat. Of his six seasons, four and a half of them were pretty miserable. We'd barely avoided relegation in the two seasons prior to Cotterill coming in. I can’t do the maths of 6 years in total…. One year with a promotion, 2 years ...

That’s not correct. A defender’s arm is not considered when determining offside decisions, it’s the same for all players.

I think the mistake made with the images is that the offside line is drawn at the most offside extremity of Foster, as opposed to the most onside extremity of the defender. If it was shown correctly at the defender’s shoulder, then it would show a significant amount of Foster being offside. I’m pre...
