Use VAR to decide who gains possession from ball going out of play. We are on the slippery slope now.

Any part of body in line with defender then onside. So clear daylight given off. Would still need for throw ins and corners unless they decide to go further.

That was the idea on the original drawing board for VAR. They should go back to it. Feel like we’ve lost goals with current decision and maybe gained more cheap penalties so either way you feel a bit cheated.

I always have Zico above Maradona. Then again I always have Beardsley above Gazza. Sometimes you’ve got to look past the circus and some of the hype surrounding certain players. His documentary is being repeated tonight on CH4 9.30pm for those who’ve not seen it and is available on their catch-up service.

Whatever the offside law becomes it should make sure the likes of James goals stands. Go back to daylight.

Yeah he's got 7 in 9 for us and we are shite. Weirdly probably suites him he has more of the box to himself. A lot of Bournemouth's final third play got very elaborate at times with players getting in each others way.

Norwich away. Debuchy debut. Literally nothing happened all game

Fair play to the interviewer.

That’s what I thought too. If Laporte had handballed it then it gets disallowed whereas last year it would’ve been if Jesus had handballed it. At least that’s what I thought.

That's correct, but it hasn't been used like that since it's been introduced. Yep. Another example of not applying the rules

Same with pundits. Keown fuming the ref changed his mind

Well yes that is the problem unfortunately

I honestly don’t know the letter of the law, but it was a kick on the shin. Of course Trezeguet could continue if he wanted, but that’s the case with a good 75% of fouls. Exactly so 75% too many free kicks/penalties are been given. That’s the problem. The slippery slope of refs giving cheap decisions all over the pitch instead of just playing on.

Where was the foul? He didn’t prevent him doing anything.

Correct decision. Was a dive.

No way mate sorry, nowt wrong with it. That’s before Fernandez touches the ball, Chilwell knows he’s got there too early He hasn’t even touched him on that picture It was goal. Good use of VAR not that it was needed.

2 free kicks neither free kicks. Keep your whistle in your pocket man.

Scary how what a lot of us on here presumed was going on looks like it has been to a T.

Well done Greg[/member] .. no pressure

Batty was a super super player Kanji[/member]. I had a ST during his time with us and he was a top player. A great addition to the team. He really moved us on a level imho. Mad how he's gone completely incommunicado now. Literally, career finished, disappeared. Iirc he didn't particularly enjoy football in general.

Or get them to buy us

Didn’t seem injury prone under Rafa. Never been fit since his outburst aimed at Bruce after the Norwich game
