Rugby teaching us a lesson with the TMO. These decisions matter, so why not take 30 seconds to check them. Adds to the drama as well.

 

Please no, no, and thrice no. I fell asleep during the rugby last night with all those stoppages. It's turning into American Football.

 

Offside is not an exact science, we just need to live with it and get on with the game. It has survived well enough until the last decade or so until television took control.

Yeah, how unlucky can Bournemouth get? Mings, Gradel and Wilson with long term injuries. 3 starters in that side, and 2 'transfer record' signings as well. To have a chance, they needed their big signings and big goal scorer to hit the ground running. The fact that they will now have all unavailable for a lengthy period is kind of the writing on the wall. I can't see how they have any chance.

Except those three goals were all blatantly offside and anyone can tell after watching a 20 second replay, before the game has actually kicked off again.

 

I assume you are also opposed to substitutions?

Not actually blatant, certainly not the first. Bringing back the game for a restart would ruin the ebb and flow, in my opinion. TV judgments have badly influenced cricket and have not improved the rugby. If you're going to have TV dominating the game then you need to rewrite the offside law because it is very difficult to judge by viewing on TV. Even Mata's 'offside' contribution to their goal was difficult to judge. The ball may have been touched on the way through by a United player. What we need are Assistant Referees to be a bit sharper.

 

I'm not a great fan of substitutions when they are spread out and used as a means of disrupting the flow. I'm definitely against them being used in injury time.

a few of the goals in the last week or so (including Mata at SMS), the lino had a nice straight white line to aid him (18 yard line)

yet, still failed to see them

Not to mention the Arsenal Chelsea game being decided by the Costa incident where he wasn't sent off. 20 seconds looking at that incident and he'd have been straight down the tunnel.

Interesting hearing the Palace fans singing WTFILN

Pretty sure they sung it before us, when they relegated Charlton from the Championship, having been relegated at Charlton in 2005.

 

In terms of the game, Watford will struggle to score goals for as long as they get so few players in the opposing penalty area. Troy Deeney played half of that game as a central midfielder, he needs to be much higher up the pitch.

The last two games I've us against Man U and the Spurs game now, I've seen 3 goals related to offside.

 

Football is a joke

Same Linesmen :-

us v Manure : S Beck & J Collin

NLY v Man City : S Beck & J Collin.

So the linesman who missed a clear offside by mata was not dropped from the PL list but allowed to make further mistakes the following week.

Mata's was not that clear. The ball may actually have been touched by Rooney on it's way through to him.
