Where is the thread that includes a photo of Everton's most famous supporter?
I'm most disappointed.

Well done for not forgetting - was very weird being there for those of us who were. Joke of a ‘decision’ and certainly not clear nor obvious!

Saints fans must be in meltdown.
Their owner is trying to sell the club, Ings wants away, they lost their main Chinese shirt sponsor and replaced them with a cheaper deal with a betting company.

Not just that - inability to be certain of the exact point of contact of ball arriving on/leaving player’s foot, and speed of the receiving player during the move in question. The current level of precision they are trying to apply with their forensic lines makes no sense.
The facile argument often put forward that ‘offside is offside, fact’ when using a VAR decision doesn’t always hold water.
Blimey, Southampton have to play Leicester, Spurs, Liverpool, Dirty Leeds and West Ham as well as Fulham.
It's perfectly possible that they could get no points from that lot

Have you looked at our fixtures
Much like a tackle from the super entitled perma 'victim' Harry Edward Kane.

I'd have him. Would be good competition for the wing back places.

Looking back I’m not sure any of them have been worthy of the name!
Late to log on, but I don't have a problem with the West Brom VAR decision. No one likes that it happens, but for the past almost two seasons VAR has been used to determine offsides by a fraction. There have been numerous occasions where we've looked at similar angles to the one shown and commentators have declared it is clearly onside, then the lines get drawn against shirt sleeves and the decisions is offside. We may not like it, but the officials/authorities are happy that VAR is accurate enough to make those tight calls with absolute confidence. Experience should tell us all that, as much as people think it was onside, there is a significant chance that had a line been drawn from the West Brom 'scorer's' arm, and the Everton defenders foot it could have been shown to be offside. Since the angles available don't give a clear view of the West Brom player's arm, they can't draw the line, so they stuck with the onfield decision. Seems fair to me, as someone who accepts that VAR is being used this way.
Beyond that, the onfield assistant gave offside. It's a tight decision, not a clear and obvious error. So why are people upset they stuck with the onfield decision? Isn't that what we've been calling for? Errors are a part of football, we say, should only be used for clear and obvious, we say, yet when that is put into practice...

Got 11/4 for the West Brom win. Seemed good value given their last outing they stuffed Chelsea. And they were playing Southampton.

Entirely accidentally, VAR actually got it right today. It looked a close decision in real time - the lino called it offside, the ref gave it - and VAR shouldn't have even looked at it - it wasn't a clear and obvious howler to anyone watching in real time!
[MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] is going to have to give the next one of these threads some thought. From this Friday 16.04.21, there are Premier League fixtures on ELEVEN consecutive days!
