Jim McLean's Ghost Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 2 hours ago, peasy23 said: Utterly bamboozled now. We've been told a couple of times this season (1 was Salah against Wolves) that if a defender deliberately plays the ball then an attacker can't be given offside. 2 defenders deliberately played that before it hit Longstaff. Blocks, including blocking crosses, don't count as deliberately playing the ball. Then Longstaff challenges the player making the clearance therefore is offside. it is the correct call but it shows what a nonsense offside has become. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Attackers definitely getting the benefit of the doubt once again then....... VAR actively seeks to rule out goals where it should be seeking to award them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too often they seem to think their job is to find a way to disallow a goal by scraping the boundaries of whichever interpretation of the laws they decide to go with that day. To allow the Salah goal but disallow the one yesterday is a nonsense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s typical Sky when the latest Barclays club gets bought by a foreign country. Chelsea were barely on live before 2004, likewise City before the 11/12 season when they started really spending. It’s so they have footage for when they eventually win the league so they can have all the action/soundbites captured by their commentators for future montages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't bother me so much if they were a good team to watch, Chelsea and Man City were interesting on the way up. Newcastle have nothing about them, they are chronic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The enormously respected enforcer Patrick Viera who was at the top of the game when most of these players were kids isn't tough enough, so naturally they will instead take their lectures from a doddery auld Roy Hodgson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Nobody laughing at Spurs tonight then? 3-1 up with 20 to play against the team at the foot of the table and still couldn't see it out. Conte gone sooner than the end of the season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Conte is a top level manager, but he seems to be absolutely choking for a pay-off here: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 I keep waiting for Arsenal to slip up and they just keep winning. Early February just looking like a blip now. Bookies have them 4/7 now with City at 6/4. I still make City marginal favourites due to easier run in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchan30 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Apparently spurs have agreed to sack Conte. Presumably after he burst into Levys office and screamed “fucking sack me, for fucks sake” in his face. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, in my opinion, shouldn't be a handball, it's clearly not deliberate and he's in the process of moving his hand in towards his body. Under the current laws though, it's hard to see how it can't be given as one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
