    On the plus side, we are (now) defending well as a team. This may be irrelevant at 4-0 down, with only 10 men, but if this means that the players are working for each other (not that they weren't before) it could help strengthen the team spirit, and this will result in us becoming a better team.

    It's just...common sense shouldn't be that difficult here. The convoluted rule and the manner in which it has been applied is stupidity that's largely independent of the rule itself. Same with the handballs.

    It's much like the catch rules in the NFL: at some point, rather than making silly little tweaks that only serve to make it more convoluted, just bin the whole thing and start over.

    Seriously does this prove he’s offside?

    I would piss myself if Van de Beek got himself sent off. Hardly any playing time and gets himself sent off in a game like this!

    Jankewitz being sent off so early completely ****ed us. We lost our plan, we lost our shape and we lost the game.

    I imagine we regrouped and reshaped at HT.

    With technology and the spirit of the rule you only need to be standing beyond the man to the naked eye. If lines have to come out then that is not offside. It works down the park on a Sunday morning for god's sake...

    Yeah, that would be the simplest. Foot position is the only real determinant that matters, except on a sudden deflection, because the player's still in motion: it doesn't matter how far forward your armpit is, the determinant of whether you've gained an advantage is whether your legs can carry you beyond the defenders. Unless you've mastered the art of yogic flying, and few players have.

    Rubgy make it work. Cricket make it work. It really isn't rocket science. Don't scrutinise things to the 10th degree. Cut out the howlers. Do that and we're fine thank you very much.

    That is the rule.

    Look, let's not do this "Oh it's the rules which are the problem" Absolute bollocks. VAR is the ****ing problem. Has been since it was introduced and it ain't getting any better.

    Imagine if you'd spent over a oner to drive up there and you had the one small bit of joy from the match taken from you for that absolute nonsense.


    **** VAR. It's not football anymore.
