Today’s Football 2019/20 Season

[Sarnia Kevin]

No what I'm saying is you can't have both feet going into the tackle at the same time which he clearly has done there. I get that he hasn't meant to bring his left foot into it but he has and that's not allowed because it is seriously dangerous. If it were lead foot then trailing foot that would be different, but it isn't what happened on this occasion.

We'll have to agree to disagree. I don't accept that it was a seriously dangerous tackle. Just because it looks spectacular doesn't make it dangerous.

There's one standard for penalties, red cards and whatever else and a completely different one for offside. I don't really have a problem with that is offside is like a goal a yes or no thing, there isn't supposed to be judgment involved, but the other part is a total mess.

Kind of misses the point of the offside rule though. It was never a rule about small margins, but one to simply stop the flaw in the game that would present itself otherwise (goal hanging).

Straight red, slid in with both legs full force, got the ball and smashed Kane off the pitch.

I found it...

No. His back leg is folded back when he makes the tackle. That is very much a one footed tackle. I appreciate you trying to stir stuff up but that's just a poor example.

I get that and that's fine if people think it should move but this VAR issue about decisions being insanely close doesn't go away by moving the offside line somewhere else.

Well the issue never totally goes away but you can make it less less prevalent if say, you stick to the "clear and obvious error" guideline. Which is admittedly subjective in itself, but if you have to comb through camera footage for 2 minutes it can't be deemed a clear and obvious error, surely?

A very very marginal goal ruled out for Spurs for me it just ruins the game. Also why do the media absolutely seem Leicester, good team but you would think they were Brazil the way they go on?!

That Grey tackle was more of an 'Orange' card than just Yellow.

Dreadful first introduction to the game.

I'd rather the clear and obvious thing just went away completely. Just decide whether the decision is right or wrong and 'koff with this nonsense where they decide how wrong it is.

I actually think the referees current use of clear and obvious is to only change a decision if the on field referee says something different than what happened. So a penalty shout will only get changed if the ref says there wasn't contact and there was. But if he says he saw contact and didn't think it was a foul it can't ever be clear and obvious because it is subjective.

I don't know if that's easy to follow but the whole point is "clear and obvious" is an absolute mess of an idea.

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Great goal that

 

[Efcjake]

Good strike that

Think this is what's happening which in itself is utterly bizarre. We have the tech to let the referee review the footage again with his own eyes, and to the best of my knowledge, not a single referee has gone to the side to watch the footage again this season?
