What bollocks. Offside is the attacker gaining an advantage by being beyond the last defender. If you need to draw not only a line across the pitch but then another from an armpit & then spend 3 minutes deciding, then there’s no ****ing advantage. The spirit of the game indeed. <doh>

like I say offside is ruled by a harsh margin and is the same for every team …. it would be more unfair to give that goal having denied others in other games and that would be far less spirited … they have to draw the line somewhere to avoid people saying his hand was biger than my players hand the next ****ing week

No. The PGMOL themselves said pre season that they’d only use VAR to overrule CLEAR AND OBVIOUS errors. They’re not doing that. There’s now been 3 this weekend alone where they’ve gone to protractor level minutiae to give an offside. Which is not correcting a clear and obvious mistake. They’re going against their own decree, it’s bollocks.

It’s illegal to even play the ball with the hand, so why’s it being included in any offside decisions, ffs?

believe it or not but you use your hands to accelerate , so if the player has large hands it is an advantage over a defender with small hands.. I think we can all agree that at high level sport it comes down the finest of margins

Yep.

And they're doing it in a manner that ensures 'Pool win the league.
