  • I’m old enough and ugly enough to remember Coutinho being flagged offside against them last year before smashing the ball into the net and the ref had blown his whistle- got them a point despite being outplayed at villa park.

    I have no sympathy for them, had the rub of the green for decisions for years, normal service will resume Wednesday too, guaranteed ref in the pocket display coming.







  • Trouble is they’ve made all the laws so subjective that any and every call can be given in either way short of a player catching the ball and running with it Webb Ellis style. They’d solve 95% of issues with getting rid of the “interfering with play” part of offside. If you’re off when the pass or shot comes in, chalked off. Yeah you’ll get one or two where someone is lazy retreating from taking a corner and gets a goal crossed off, but most of the issues will be gone. Also, handball - change it to if the ball hits you from tip of finger to shoulder in any capacity its handball. 2cm away? Tough shit, you put yourself there defender - it’s a hazard of the role. Get rid of the subjective aspect and it will make VAR usage a lot better.
