That's supposedly what the 'thicker lines' shown on TV do, giving a 10cm margin of error, but I'm not convinced. It's insufficient anyway as studies show the actual margin of error can be up to 38cm...

That's the VAR protocol. As soon as they see the motion blur on the ball they say that's too late as it's clearly already been kicked so roll back to a previous frame. The knock on effect as to how much players have moved, especially when going in opposite directions, is massive.

Or you know, we could just trust the guy with the flag who has trained & been doing it for years. It worked for centuries before & he literally couldn't have been better placed. The on field officials were excellent btw.

Although no formal agreement is in place, I believe it's always been the plan for him to join permanently in the summer.

I've not really seen it any more than anyone else I don't think but I probably do analyse the intricacies of it because, as you well know, I have always been vocal in my disdain for VAR, even before it became a reality as I knew this would happen. The relevant part from IFAB about when the...

Can see why the ref was unsure, really difficult to tell from his angle & at full speed but the assistant should definitely see it. Very poor.

Disgusting but not in the least bit surprising. 729 clubs take part in the FA Cup yet only the mega rich 20 have a say. Remember all the fuss they made about the winter break? That's quietly been scrapped too in favour of an extended summer break under the guise of extra rest when everyone...

He really does strike a ball beautifully

Karl Robinson doing Karl Robinson things.

Car down from Rugby to the Wealdstone Fan Park, beers & BBQ there before jumping on the train to Wembley. Thanks to @Bugsy for helping with a ticket! 🩵

£23m transfer fee £79k per week And they wonder why they're in the position they are financially...

Back to offsides of 0.0012mm of a toenail again.

I wouldn't be so sure...

Almost like the game was better without it.

Could have done. I think approaching him as he did was odd, would surely have been better off blowing the whistle & telling him to get on with it.
