It's just bullshit, offside was never brought in for such millimeter decisions like that, it's about gaining an advantage, if your foot is 1cm in front of the defender I don't care what anyone says, you haven't gained an advantage from that, it's bollocks.

They have and use technology is other competitions who do this automatically, no need to be taking so long, we can have both the exact correct outcome, and have it faster.

Yeah it can be done faster, I just think in general mind. I don't have a solution for it but offside was brought in to stop goal hanging and attackers gaining an advantage by being so far ahead of the defender.

 

Being a millimeter in front, a toe, a finger etc, you're not gaining any advantage whatsoever but are still technically offside. The whole rule is shit.

Sheffield United’s spell in the PL this season is just pointless 

 

They’ve not even tried to stay up. The fact they’ve got Chris Wilder lined up to replace Heckingbottom says it all. 

Probably sensible as they have no money. Parachute payments and try again for promotion on a slightly stronger position financially.

I agree, a by product of going off precise video replays instead of the naked eye is that we're forgetting what the purpose of the offside rule was in the first. There's no way some of the goals chalked off have had any advantage from being a millimetre ahead. So in conjunction with VAR offsides, a very small leeway should be brought in to help bring back and emphasise the original purpose of the rule. 

 

Even though VAR has got more things right than wrong, at this stage I may actually be in favour of scrapping it completely if it was an option. Simply because it is gravely damaging the emotion and spontaneously that underpins the excitement of the game.

So in then Canadian Premier League, Forge are going for their 4th title out of 5m in the Play off final against their old enemy Cavalry.

Cavalry scored in extra time, only for Forge to equalise.


Early in the 2nd half of stoppage time Forge got a corner and did this to win it.

Forge have actually scored like this twice before.

Really great game. Bloody Forge. They are 90s Manure. Fair play to them and Bobby Smyrniotis though.

Think Man Utd will beat City today unfortunately.

 

They're shite but still have a decent record of beating City last few years and with it being early in the season its the best time to play them, City haven't looked that good for a few weeks now.

Aye, even though I keep an eye out for them, I can’t help but feel for the game to grow in Canada, having 1 team win 4 out of 5 titles, and being the finalist in the other one, isn’t going to make people think it’s competitive.

When you have hired the coach who created the academy that is behind most of Canada’s young players these days, I guess it’s only going to go 1 way.

 

Apparently he is under consideration to become the national team manager, and was interviewed for the Toronto job.

 

Good news for the league though, as York United are said to be getting bought by a well known group, some say it is 777, others say it is MLSE, some even saying it’s a Premier League team.
