Even if offside tech was instantaneous it still doesn't get past the issue of what's "technically" offside and what isn't. Willock's forehead being ahead of the defender. A computer ruling it offside might be in the laws of the game if taken to the letter, but in the real world he didn't gain any advantage from his forehead being offside. Measuring advantage by millimetres is not what the offside rules were created for. So in my opinion, they'd need to re-write the offside rules to allow for the use of ultra-precise tech. Which is a massive can of worms. Just go back to letting the Lino make the offside call. No need for a computer. The mistakes will balance out and if a Lino isn't cut out for the job and they keep getting calls wrong or showing bias, they should be removed from the job.

Goal line tech is fine, the ball either crossed the line or it didn't. Offside tech = no. It's not fit for purpose and shouldn't be used. Last night being an example. Was Willock technically offside ? Computer says "Yes". Did Willock gain an advantage because his forehead was marginally ahead of the defender. Anyone who plays or enjoys watching football as a game of sport says "No" VAR = Only ever used in extreme cases that the ref or lino's couldn't have seen e.g serious foul play off the ball. That's my opinions on the matter.

Fucksakes man, everyone knows what I mean when I say VAR. Using screen based technology to review decisions on a football pitch during a football game.

Nah. Football's supposed to be a game played by 22 blokes or lasses on a field of grass and enjoyed by the people watching it. With rules in place that maintain the flow and consistency of the game, even if those rules are fallible at times. It's not science. It's sport. It's emotion. There's human errors without VAR. There's human errors with VAR. There's bias without VAR. There's bias with VAR. The rigid interpretation of the minutia of the rules isn't doing anyone any favours other than the boffins. It's turning the game into a farce.

Simple question: In your opinion, was football better to watch either live or on telly, before VAR was introduced for offside ? For me it's like night and day. I would go back to no VAR in a heartbeat, whilst accepting that some decisions might be made incorrectly but it's worth it to be able to live in the moment again and not have decisions made on micro-analysis of micro-distances. I'd only use in-game video for off the ball serious foul play, where the ref or lino's couldn't possibly be expected to see the incident. The early cup rounds, when we're free of the VAR shackles, are like a taste of a glorious past.

Last night I dreamt I was walking down a British high street and Thomas Frank walked past me wearing a tracksuit, looking really miserable and carrying a takeaway cup of coffee. He was about 4ft tall, which surprised me, so I did a double take and had a little chuckle. And that's all I have to say about that.

Be the same type of cunts who are happy to sizzle retinas by placing their fast moving brighter than the sun adverts on the jumbo LED's at the Etihad

Yee knaa what I mean Woderic. VAR is the catch all term for stopping the game to do a video review that often results in billions of replays, massive delays, decisions being reversed and decisions that are actually causing more frustration than the human error that a decision without any VAR would cause. The entire things needs firing into the sun.

Don’t think anyone says new stadiums guarantee success, they just give clubs a chance to massively increase matchday revenue and therefore significantly improve their PSR position. How the club spends that money is then critical. And I can’t be arsed to check the latest details but recently Spurs have had one of the lowest turnover to wages ratios in the league despite turnover improving massively and the debt financing for the stadium being very long term and at low interest rates so the annual interest payments don’t restrict their ability to spend money on the squad.

Just sack the entire VAR cunt of a system off and accept that there’ll be some human errors, but the game will flow and fans will be able to live in the moment again. It’ll be no worse than it is now. There’s loads of fucking errors with VAR given that the offside rule wasn’t invented to be measured by millimetres and the moment in question replayed a billion times in slo mo from various angles. Can’t believe there’s anyone who has any genuine interest in football, not even just NUFC fans, who think that decisions like last night are for the good of the game and are improving the sport.

Never Done Anal

That’s me not applying for the Spurs job then

Like waking up next to a raccoon when you’ve been through a dry spell. Just got to see it as a positive step on the ladder to the high street honeys.

I’d say it was our weak as piss dogshit defending that makes conceding goals Inevitable

Tell me you’ve never been to Dontino’s without telling me you’ve never been to Dontino’s

Is she was frigid I wouldn’t be having so many hassles with her gym instructor sniffing round her rear end

Try telling that to my lass when she catches me giving some scrubber two in the pink and one in the stink round the back of Dontino’s

A finger is ruled offside What the actual fuck Absolutely fucking ridiculous And I’d be just as pissed if that had been an opposition goal that had been ruled out. What’s the point in this anymore ? It’s not football, I know that much The sport is utterly fucked A FUCKING FINGER

Unfortunately we’re just punters and there’s no reason why they have to share pre-approval stage plans with the wider world. Do you expect Tesco to share plans about the pre-approval stage store they’re planning to build just because you shop there ?

How long do people think a once in a lifetime city centre 60,000+ capacity stadium takes to plan ? It's a fucking massive construction project costing millions of billions of quid with major restraining factors due to the location that 99.9% of fans are unwilling to leave. I'd rather they took 10 years to do it and got it right, than fuck about trying to do it at speed and get it wrong. It's not as simple as building a fingerblasting den in the woods at Prudhoe Castle is it.

This game is like two bald men fighting over a comb. Just hope beyond all hope that we're the ones sucking on a Hamlet at the end.
