What do you think players in League One or League Two here earn? No one thinks that Adam Lallana or James Milner are going to suddenly train to be top level referees but a guy in his early thirties who has been a journeyman around the EFL would have the game knowledge, fitness and bank balance...

The irony of a bloke living in a squat full of pizza boxes dismissing a 70k PA salary as a bit rubbish........

A mod wrote it in the first place :wink: I see what you've done and I don't disagree but the thread title mirrors the title of the BBC piece and what someone (Shearer?) said on MOTD. Not as easy as you would think. With the modern high line you can get caught fractionally offside using four...

I think the only question is "has it improved the game?". It has not improved the game. 100% not improved it. I'm not against change or technology. I sell change and technology for a living. And every time I have a customer whose life isn't improved by change and technology I have some VERY...

Ha ha, brilliant :clap: Our Twitter admin isn't shy of a little shithousery and the account's all the better for it.

The one thing I'll say is that I think it galvanised us into the absolute dry humping Leicester got in the second half. We raised our game even further after that and Ali Mac clearly wanted to score again. The free kick, sadly, is a goal of the month, rather than goal of the season, but instead...

I thought it probably was. The fact I had to ask tells you all you need to know about VAR.

Yes, yes, yes! :thumbsup: If our "third" had stood people would have been talking about the strike and the joy in the crowd for days and it might have made the Goal of the Season final. No one would have said "but what if the guy who didn't touch it was a toenail offside". Now, instead, they're...

Is this true or a wind up? 1566445430841511944

Indeed matey. Great to see you too. I think we can both agree that "we're ****ing brilliant!".

We’ve had two seasons and five games of VAR and things are worse now!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Exactly. And try explaining that to a team of under 11s playing their first game using offside. Actually don't. "You can't be offside from a throw in". "Huh?" "You can't be offside from a goal kick". "Huh?" From experience those two take about two years to sink in, but it's ok because the...

You can't just use science and tech if the people operating it are clueless. It makes things worse. You could write the best workflow system for insurance claims in the world but the insurer will be worse off if they give it to the tea lady and maintenance man with no training. And that's...

They're only waiting / not waiting because VAR exists though. Without it you get a flag or no flag and you know that's it. And offside also isn't a matter of fact necessarily. The fact we're playing Leicester at home today in late summer should remind folk on here of that.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62783142 Huge number of controversial / incorrect decisions again yesterday. Offside inconsistencies too over the last two game sets. Everton's goal not flagged but (correctly) given offside by VAR, Coutinho flagged when onside, rather than allowed to...
