I love both EMC and Haji, but they could both do with doing some extra homework on the offside rule. Haji in particular appears almost oblivious to it.

A free kick then, every time the ball goes out of play? That would completely devalue actual free kicks and corners.

It should obviously have been included, but the extended highlights is mostly the short highlights but with each incident repeated 5 times 🤷‍♂️. Plus a lingering shot of the Horners.

Hard to argue with that Wingy!

A fair point, similar to what shmmeee said about allowing quick free kicks. The other team has committed an offence, why should you be prevented from taking it as soon as you want?

I don't think speed is really his weapon. He's strong and tricky, can go both sides and is a genuine threat that the opposition always have to cover. Also very competitive in winning the ball. He's a real asset to the squad, and I think he's unlucky not to have more goals to his name.

Yeah nobody has committed an offence they need to be punished for, it's just getting the ball back into play after it's gone out. I am also very sceptical that the existing rules are even being applied. People are clearly striding and chucking it off one foot.

It needn't completely eliminate the tactic, just require people to get on with it in a reasonable time. Depends how long you allow of course, but some of them do seem to take ages, and is that time added on at the end?

He wanted a contract, but they only offered some gold, frankincense and myrrh.

Well he definitely moves 😂

Fantastic guy to have in the squad. He always had the technique, but his decision making was often poor. Holding the ball too long, playing the wrong pass etc. Now the team is on a roll, I would imagine they are all bringing the best out of each other by making themselves available, calling for...

You missed Mary Rose 😉

Of course it Otis, we don't want to lose you :love:

All the wins are deserved, all the points are deserved, and being top of the league is richly deserved. But the "clean sheets" run was a bit strange IMO given how many we could easily have conceded in the last few games. This time last year every chance for the opposition seemed to be buried in...

Baffling to see multiple negative comments about EMC across various threads on here, including criticisms of workrate and awareness. Such a fine player, and I'm always very happy to see him on the team sheet.

Yeah two different situations 😂

Can't be arsed to find the replay, and it's not worth arguing about, but from my position (pretty close) it very subtly squeezed/brushed off our player. I remember thinking the lino's gonna get slaughtered here and I wasn't wrong 🙂 Edit: we may not even be talking about the same incident of course!

1.5 million, with options on another 250,000

I dare say I know the one you mean, and it led to a chorus of boos. I could see why people thought it was a bad call, but I was pretty close to it and the official (just a few feet from the incident) was dead right. Deceptive, but the ball definitely came off the city player last as it went out.
