Kid Icarus Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Sterling has been asked to test the new offside system. Fletch though, is as seemingly blind as he is easily startled Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saw that he was born in 1972 so I guess he would be old enough to remember when Villa were decent, so that may enhance opinion, in the same way those who were around before the PL era may have a higher opinion on Everton. On the other hand, we probably don't notice as much, but there probably will be a lot of 'cathedral on the hill' stuff during our matches.

Geordie Ahmed Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Looking forward to having this new offside system next season, much quicker and seemingly more reliable than a bloke with a mouse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That last Stirling goal is the type of offside that shouldn’t exist. Should’ve been a goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 20 minutes ago, gbandit said: I’d never be screaming for a pen for that. It’s a disaster for the game. Why are teams getting an 80% chance of a goal from a situation where they have less than 5% chance of a goal? Absolutely. Cross accidentally hitting an arm shouldn't be deciding games or ties. Easily the biggest problem with football and why games often turn to 'who can get a penalty' competitions. Trivial things turning into 0.80xg in form of penalties is just wrong and stupid but can't see it changing when nothing happened after the Liverpool-Spurs CL final.

I do agree that the law needs amending as attackers with such fine margins should be given the benefit of the doubt But with the law as it is this new system is way better than what we have which is a bloke with a mouse who can be quite liberal with some lines Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paullow Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) Reading 0 Sheff Utd 1. Big win for them. Reading always appear bang average whenever I watch them on TV but they had taken 33 points from their 16 matches at home coming into this, so more than 2 points per game. Sheff U had lost 3 of their last 4 in the league and Boro were closing in on them, but they are now back to being 7 points clear with both having 11 matches remaining. That's a 3 game swing so will be hard to claw back with games running out. Edited March 7, 2023 by Paullow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I really hope one of Millwall or Coventry push Norwich out the play-offs, one of them along with Middlesbrough, Blackburn and Luton would be a really interesting and different set of potential teams to get promoted.

Jonas Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Think this weekend could decide it. Boro are the only ones in form enough to challenge. Sheffield United play Luton, could go either way. Boro at Swansea. If the gap gets bigger its over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroblack Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 You wouldn't think Kai Havertz was 6'3. He doesn't really use his physical superiority to his advantage. Maybe in the future but for now he comes across as very weak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Hadn't realised how awful things had got at QPR since Beale left. Top of the league after 16 games followed by one win in 19! Obscene drop-off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I was aiming at is a 5yr old could do it with my offside law ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
