    Being 6ft 6 but jumping 5ft 8?
  2. I imagine he'll beheading for the exit door before the end of the season
  3. Don't see much comparison with Marinakis and Mike Ashley For all of Marinakis' faults he wants his team to be successful. I couldn't see Ashley preventing the Gibbs White to Spurs situation the same way as Marinakis did
  4. What's the situation with the big Georgian keeper at Liverpool? He can't be happy on the bench waiting for Allison to leave
  5. Probably cry into their 100k a week wages sadly
  6. Plenty of immigrants in that Man Utd squad Even 2 of their 3 English players in Maguire and Mainoo are descendants of immigrants
  7. Raheem Sterling joined Feyenoord
  8. It's been longer than a matter of weeks I think. I might be misremembering but I'm struggling to remember the unbelievable displays he's done this season? That doesn't mean they didn't happen but this season has been so long I just can't remember them
  9. Absolutely love Mr Marinakis and his chaos Personally hope Forest don't get relegated as he brings a genuine madness to the league
  10. We can't win games without Bruno

    Offside rule

    Surely you can see the difference between the back pass rule changing and overhauling the offside rule because we've brought technology into a human game? It's like me saying all handball should be penalties and then using the new rule that goalkeepers concede a corner if they don't release the ball as justification for a rule change They don't compare

    Offside rule

    My 4 stages of that Willock goal yesterday 1) Ramsey passes Willock the ball and I assume he's offside as he had acres of spacem behind their defence. Assume the linesman will put his flag up 2) Willock scores and the camera cuts to him wheeling away so there's clearly no flag. Maybe I've seen it wrong and I can start to tentatively get excited we've scored 3) Here comes the replay, oh he looks clearly onside from that freeze frame I can belatedly celebrate us scoring 4) Celebrations finish and the commentator tells us they're still checking it. Then the commentator (not the VAR) tells us it's going to be disallowed? And the freeze frame shows Willock's hair is offside? It's an absolutely exhausting emotional roller coaster and not in a good way. Anyone saying that technology (not the offside law) isn't ruining and diluting the experience for a fan, player or staff is talking nonsense

    Offside rule

    That's not true though, if there's any human element to it there's going to be different interpretations because decisions aren't black and white like a line call in tennis As long as there's humans involved using VAR then it won't work. And if we decide to just automate everything and remove referees completely then we may as well just fold the whole sport

    Offside rule

    What's so fundamentally wrong with the offside rule that has been used for decades that now needs changing?

    Offside rule

    It's not a long way offside though in the daylight law, his left foot could easily be touching the line which has been drawn on He's clearly gaining an advantage here

    Offside rule

    Still don't understand why we have to rip up a good rule in football that has worked for decades just for some poxy technology that is ruining the enjoyment of the game

    Offside rule

    You're just moving the problem This is surely gaining an advantage but the daylight rule would say it's fine? Also for leagues that don't use VAR how are you proposing to train linesmen on this?

    Offside rule

    How are humans not going to be involved? How do you propose if someone is interfering with play or not without humans involved
