    It was. Do we know what happened there? A Carroll error?

    Naarich v Spurs

    You can't exactly for sure, but we can't have decisions that take several minutes. Give them 20 seconds to look at it and if they believe it to be too close to come to a decision after those 20 seconds, stick with the goal.

    Naarich v Spurs

    The too close to call has to work both ways. That was too close to call first viewing and took several minutes to come to a conclusion. Take away those several minutes and you would have your decision. No micromilimetres.

    I am 99% certain they wouldn't.

    Naarich v Spurs

    That part of the rule is ridiculous. The VAR team are watching the game aren't they? If they spot a clear offside they should inform the ref through his earpiece.

    Naarich v Spurs

    Again, using the Pooki example. No-one can say that was a clear and obvious offside and no-one can say it was a clear and obvious error. That's where we need to draw the line.

    Fawlty Towers got it spot on. As did The Office and Extras. Jack it in while you are on top. If you look at US comedies, both Frasier and Friends went from greatness to a bit meh in the end

    Naarich v Spurs

    Again, macca, I disagree. It is subjective, but if they just had a 10 second look and it wasn't obvious, they should just go with the goal. You simply cannot go for microscopic lengths to see if someone is offside.by 0.000000001 millimetre. We have all been watching football long enough and...

    They're not going to win the Superbowl I'm sure. They are misfiring all over the place.

    I still can't get my head round Brady not retiring last year. Would have gone out in a blaze of glory, winning the Superbowl and the Pats at the top of their game. Now, looks like his career is going to end in a damp squib. He's looked a pale shadow of himself this year.

    Naarich v Spurs

    Yup and that is why the decision needs to be quick and why it therefore then also has to be a brief look only. 20 seconds tops.

    Didn't know that. What are the names, West and Shipman?

    Naarich v Spurs

    Exactly right. They are going to such anal lengths when the technology is clearly not supporting that. Just apply common sense. There are times when a player is clearly offside, but it is not picked up. VAR is perfect for that.
