Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

Abandon it completely, it's a rule that is mis-used anyway as it was intended to stop players attempting to "gain unfair advantage" not to be penalised for having a bigger boot size.
Back in the day players like Allen Clark at Leeds used to just hang around the opposition area until the ball got to them meaning someone had to stay back to defend them. Not sure if that was "unfair advantage" but i can understand why they created a rule to stop it as it was boring to watch.

 

Scrap VAR because it’s obviously ****?

 

Not sure what you're getting at here mate but if he was just goal hanging he'd have been offside, the offside rule came in to force in 1863

 

She has just come downstairs…..

said ‘I thought this was a home game
So you were not going today’ Have it on the calendar as a home game…..in her handwriting.
Glad I didn’t set off

 

Why do we need lines, we managed for a ****ing century without them. Yeah there will all ways be arguments down the pub, but I'd rather that than some stupid **** like you that thinks he needs to draw lines, but to be fair to you, I should be use to Arsenal tears.

He was a frinstance mate not the cause

 

Used to love talking about the match’s close offsides over a Seville orange Tanqueray and slimline tonic. Ruined now.

 

He was good at it though

 

More of a calmer way to discuss it, gets too heated when blokes get on the Ardbeg.

 

A bloke on the side called a linesman.

 

That's a bit more diplomatic than me.

 

I refereed an U15's league game today. (the ref called off last minute, it wasn't a choice as such)

Gave one free kick.

There were no offside lines, so I played on and no one complained.

Football is a simple game, over complicated by utter ****wits.

Anyway, got a dry london Cotswolds gin on the go, slimline Schweppes tonic and a wedge of lime.

Cheers.

 

Lime is a bit gay.

 

Swansea won too, playing entertaining football.

Glorious mid table averageness almost confirmed.

 

Slice though, not a dash.

Acceptable, surely.

 

Joking. I enjoy some form of citrus in my G&T.

Had a couple of jagerbombs before Pompey the other week. Had been a while and wasn’t nice.

 

It'll never catch on.

 

I was all for VAR but its implementation has been a disaster.

I thought we'd just have someone checking if the ball went over the goal line and flagging an obvious offside if the linesman couldn't keep up.

But counting pixels for 5 minutes is insane, it's just killing it.

Then the pauses after goals, nah, enough. Let's go back
