Popular Post Finnegan Posted 22 September 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 22 September 2019 Actually think that's a good point by Carra. Even if you think some of the ultra fractional decisions might not be 100% technology wise, it's still consistent. It's the same consistent technology drawing the line on the pitch and it's still more consistent than having linesmen guessing which literally nobody liked. You'd have things flagged offside that were several feet on or visa versa last year. Now we're arguing over millimetres? Tyler saying you don't get done for doing 51mph in a 50 zone is ****ing retarded. As has been said already, there has to be a cut off somewhere with offsides. You can't just let something go because its a BIT offside. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Shep Posted 22 September 2019 Share Posted 22 September 2019 Not so much Loserpool these days but more winnerpool, just can’t see anyone being even remotely as good as they are excluding Man City of cause. The pool manc games will be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donk Posted 22 September 2019 Share Posted 22 September 2019 Apart from Liverpool and Man City, i cant work out whether the overall standard of the league has improved to the extent we have one of the most broadly talented and best quality leagues weve ever had. Or is it a case of the regression of bigger teams allowing the unfashionable West Ham's, Norwich's and Crystal Palace's to REGULARLY pick up these once "unexpected" results. I have genuinely no idea if its the former or the latter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have been crying out for consistency, now we have it and its too consistent for some. And Martin Tyler is an idiot, why compare two things that have absolutely nothing in common. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both European finals were all English ties a couple of months ago but 3rd to 6th do all seem to be on the slide. United are awful, Chelsea rebuilding, Spurs slowly falling apart, Arsenal still gash at the back. Us sitting in 3rd after looking quite lacklustre for a fair amount of the season so far probably says it all  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An overruled goal by VAR changes the psychology of a game in much the same way as a missed penalty. The score is unchanged but the players go flat. It happened to us after Wilfs goal and then to Spurs after Aurier's was ruled out. We, and the players, are going to have to get used to this...

I don't really want to be the fan of the team that loses a cup final or gets relegated because someone's spent five minutes deciding if a player's finger was offside.
