    c***s on the road

    I often have to go into the left hand lane of an exit from a roundabout. The exit is on the right, 270 degrees , third exit. There’s no official lanes on the roundabout or entry road although the traffic usually settles into two unofficial lanes on approach and on the roundabout. 
     

    Should I be going in the left hand approach? I go on the right and cut across on exit, even though I think I should exit into the right hand lane then change, strictly. But other c***s come all the way round on my left sometimes. I suspect they’re in the wrong because they’re usually in Audis. 
     

    What’s the rules here?

    Right hand lane to go right unless there’s markings suggesting otherwise. There shouldn’t be any problem with moving over to the left lane as you exit, because there shouldn’t be anyone on your left by that point if everyone’s following the rules, but you always need to check for c***s on the road.

    Chasing VAR out of Scotland

    This VAR level of accuracy thing - nearly demanding quantum physics levels of measurement - is BS.

    No one ever questioned a human beings ability to judge off side to that degree, including the exact moment when "the ball is played or touched". What VAR does do is show up where human error has occurred and corrects it. Completely? No, but on the whole, yes, it does. 

     

     

    A linesman making a tight offside call as it happens in front of him isn’t the same thing as it being let go, a goal being scored, everyone celebrating, and then it eventually being overturned 3 minutes later because the attacker was a nipple offside.

    The fact you think they judge offside when the ball leaves a players foot makes your entire post worthless and just confirms my point about fans being ignorant about the laws and VAR. You also just ignored the fact that the lines are made thicker in order to account for a margin of error.

    Your last sentence about referees who don't use the semi-automated system not being able to do UEFA/FIFA games just doesn't make sense, as almost all competitions (except Serie A and from next season La Liga and the Premier League with SAOT) using VAR have the same Hawkeye system as we use.

    Go on smarty pants, don’t leave us hanging. Tell us all how the VAR operator is supposed to capture the exact frame where the ball is played.

    This is the problem. They've brought a facility that can measure to the nth degree. Once it has done that, the operator has no problem. It could be a millimetre or a kilometre. Offside is offside, over the line is over the line.

    Do we have to change the rule ie clear daylight, if so how much daylight? Something more radical?

    It can’t be measured to the nth degree when there’s no way of knowing the exact moment the ball is played.

    With an attacker running forward a millisecond delay in pausing the video can be the difference between offside or onside.

    So what's your fucking point? 🤣

    BBC One and Five Live are defacto English stations. If you haven't grasped this, then I can'thelp you.

    Scotland has its own BBC media. They cover Scottish football. Absolutely nobody who isn;t accessing BBC Scotland's Scottish football coverage in the UK gives a flying f**k about Scottish football, so it is not widely covered elsewhere.

    What part of this is difficult for you?

    The BBC's regional English output is irrelevant in all of this. English people find English football interesting. They do not find Scottish football interesting.

    Do. You. Get. It?

    That they shouldn’t be defacto English stations. I don’t think anyone is contesting that they are.

    Why are you struggling so much to grasp that?

    And why are you being such a condescending w**k?

    That's the thing, though. It's not really a national channel. BBC Scotland is for our stuff.

    I'm amazed a lot of people still don't get this.

    They don't report Welsh Cup results either. The general population make no distinction.

    It is a national channel. England has at about a dozen regional channels of its own.

    I’m amazed that you still don’t get this.

    Offside :lol: 

    When it’s that close there’s no possible way you can be sure you’ve paused it at the right frame and got the lines exactly right. It’s fucking maddening that this shit is allowed.

    Not sure why you think anyone would or should be interested.

    We've got BBC Scotland for our stuff. Nobody down south gives a f**k about the Scottish Cup, and very few people could even tell you who is playing in the semis.

    No point pretending it's news.

    And similarly they have their own regional channels down south.

    They’re a broadcaster for the whole of the U.K. You’d think that a national cup semi final with 6 goals and 50,000 people at it might get more than a two second mention on the sports bulletin.
