I’m actually going to engage with xG stat nonces, not just fire both barrels at them. I read up on some xG analysis about Billa and it turns out they defy xG logic by shooting from distance, which xG classes as low quality chances but Billa have excellent long range shooters and also the team play to open up clear sights at goal from distance, like Billa did for their 1st against us - a shot from outside the box but into a large open area of goal with no defenders in the way. So their xG isn’t reflective of their overall performances because they’re playing a different game to how the xG programmers believe the game is played.

If my nanna was a footballer she’d cost £20m these days

Makems will bring Chris Packets on at half time

Him and Calvert-Lewin up front and we’d have won the league by now

That up near Humshaugh ?

Is he from Hexham ?

My favourite rhyming slang that “Fancy my chances of pulling at Dontino’s tonight, better shave me cathode rays before I go out”

Do the lights keep getting brighter and darker in the Makem game or is my telly fucked ? And I’m not on about the shite pre-match light show Its like some cunts fiddling with a dimmer switch

Simple solution. Tie heavy weights to VAR and all screen based in-game decision making and then drop them into the Mariana Trench so they can be sunk to the bottom forever and just accept it’s a fucking dogshit system that once upon a time ruined the game for a few years.

Fucking backpass rule getting compared to the seismic changes in the game VAR has created. You backpass nonces are off your tits man.

You know what I meant. Changing the backpass rule doesnt suddenly mean that no-one could be sure if a goal would stand until a computer or VAR operator had decided in the goal should stand. With everyone waiting for ages for a decision to be made.

A minor change to the rules that didn't majorly change the dynamic of the game. It just restricted a certain type of pass. VAR and all the other screen based shite has fundamentally changed the entire experience of watching and playing a game of football.

"The game already feels corrupt let alone choosing to get factual decisions down to human error" If I read that in a thread about officiating where all of the discussion is about officiating then I'm interpreting it as the person who posted it is feeling that corruption is an issue amongst the officials making decisions in games. And I was asking you if you believed there was a problem with officals and corruption. It wasn't a rhetorical question.

I never said you said all that. The question I asked about corruption was in response to your comment about corruption. So that bit was for you. The bit about flow of the game were just my own musings on living in the moment during games being far more preferable to slightly improved decision accuracy. And my bit about each to their own was me reflecting on how some people advocate decision accuracy over living in the moment. Which is the opposite to my viewpoint.

Your football tech screen based referee decision making nerds were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, that they didn't stop to think if they should.

Advances in tech don't always mean life gets better for the majority of people. Case in point; speakerphones.

So you believe there's endemic corruption in officiating and using a computer removes that corruption ? I’d massively prioritise player and fan enjoyment of a game that flows in real time, over the slightly increased accuracy of computer based decision making, especially given the negative impact it has on the flow of the game and on the ability of fans and players to react to events on the pitch in the moment that they happen. But each to their own. There's nowt so queer as folk.

We managed fine before 2019. Human error was just a part of the game. It happened sometimes and it caused debate, but that was football. During the game the match still ebbed and flowed the way it was intended to do. Lino accuracy was between 80-90% and there was no disruption to the game because forensic screen based analysis had to be applied to on-field decisions in real time. I'd rather have something slightly less accurate that allowed for the game to be played as intended. Rather than slightly higher accuracy but it comes with all the negatives we have to put up with to achieve the extra few %.

More accurate doesn't mean better for the overall game. For the players, for the fans, for the coaches who train the players who now have to try and get them to keep their pubes from going beyond a defender. So that's the serious argument for removing it entirely. It's sucked a lot of the enjoyment out of the game for the people on the pitch and in the stands and watching on telly. What sort of sport are we watching if we can't celebrate a goal until after we're sure it's been reviewed by a computer over the course of a few minutes to determine if it's a goal or not, to the absolute letter of the law of the game, laws that weren't created to be reviewed by computers. And it isn't like accuracy has gone up from low to high. It's gone from very high to slightly very higher. It's not worth the trade off for that extra few %, in my opinion.

And scouts will start ending the careers of footballers with heads shaped like the Tefal men.

Research showed that Lino's had a high degree of accuracy before tech got introduced. Why do you believe the few mistakes that get made won't end up balancing out across all teams across an entire season ? And I don't mean balance out as in exactly equal. But over the course of a season roughly the same amount of Lino offside mistakes are spread across the teams in the league.
