Quote

Semi-automated offside technology (SAOT) will be used in a competitive English football matches for the first time during the FA Cup fifth round in March.

The technology will be used in seven of the eight fifth-round ties, with the exception being Preston North End against Burnley at Deepdale, the only fixture not being played at a Premier League stadium.

If the SAOT trial is considered to be a success, the Premier League will look to introduce the technology into the top flight at a later date.

The FA also confirmed that all eight matches in the FA Cup fifth round would use video assistant referees (VAR) and in-stadium VAR announcements.

nothing will be as bad as the one we got against us at PSG.

 

I think the one above tops it. 

 

Utterly ridiculous that wasn't overturned. How anyone who has ever watched football can possibly thing that's a penalty is beyond me.

That’s worse than the one given against Tino like.

Not sure where to put this. I mentioned it in the match thread, but think it’s worth discussing further.

 

By letter of the law our penalty was a penalty, but I think it’s harsh, and would be fuming if it went against us.

In my opinion I think anything from the elbow and up shouldn’t be handball. I just don’t think you have enough control over that part of your body. It’s almost impossible to move it in or out of the way of the ball.

Anything on your forearm down with a deliberate attempt to play the ball with your hands, or to have those parts of your body in an unnatural position should result in a handball decision.

Your elbow doesn’t stick out that far naturally
