you know I think I could be a MOTD commentator. watch the game, wait for the editor to cut it down to 8 minutes then comment on it. that way you can slip in juicy tid-bits like "they haven't conceded a penalty since ..." just before they give a pen away or " "team" has not had a player sent off this season" after a booking then, low and behold, he gets a second.

so ****ing obvious!

You just know the Spuds are going to get ****ed over with a similar offside decision before the season is out and will scream blue murder about it.

And I will be here laughing about it :)
What do you mean going to get ****ed over. There have been several already
 
Only joking @Tel <laugh>

Brilliant game of footy at OT today and some cracking goals, thought we would have been good value for a point but thats life as a Saints fan I suppose.

Great day out and love OT too, lives up to the hype imo.

This is why dgc is the most knowledgeable spurs fan
No pundit, including ex referee Walton on BT seems even to know about the extract from the Offside Law I quoted earlier....
"If a player in an offside position is moving towards the ball with the intention of playing the ball and is fouled before playing or attempting to play the ball, or challenging an opponent for the ball, the foul is penalised as it has occurred before the offside offence"
Kane was moving towards the ball but got fouled before he could jump so it was a penalty. Whether that Law is sensible is another matter.....you could make a case either way.

he jumped, that is making an attempt.
 
he jumped, that is making an attempt.
He didn't. He was pushed before he could jump.
Anyway that wasn't my point. My point was that the pundits don't know the Laws. They should have been discussing whether he broke that Law which specifically allows him to move towards the ball. They all said he was offside because he moved towards the ball.

It's easier just to call them all a shower of ****s, instead of trying to debate the offside rule mate. <cheers>

Pundits are mostly ex-professional players so they probably do know the laws but hey **** them you seem to know it all, I'm with you Oracle. :bandit:
