    I think if you need lines on the pitch to tell then it should be original decision. Your way would probably work better.

    It's not inconsistency with offside, though, as it's not subjective. It's ability to judge it. I can accept a degree of leeway with offside.

    Didn't watch or pay any attention to the World Cup, but that tech's exactly what I hate about technology use for offsides.

    I want to avoid instances like the FA Cup semi at all costs. When you have a law like offside, then there is no subjectivity, as you are either off, or you are on. But when you bring technology into it, you are giving decisions where it is so marginal that it does not matter; millimetres. You...

    Nothing to add other than 'Knickerstitchers' is the best derogatory term for a football club and it's supporters ever. It's not used enough, in my view.

    Fair. Didn't know that.

    We were poor, though, but it doesn't matter at this stage. It just matters if you win or not.

    MvE very good again. Thomas in the first half when they were attacking. Kitching had a good game and sometimes looked our most creative passer. Collins did everything asked of him well. What. A. Goal.

    Missing the penalty was abysmal. Not in the same league of 'wtf' as the weekend, though. Though giving it to their goalie was weird when it hit him.

    This. Play Wright on the left, it's where he's most effective. If that means leaving EMC out, so be it.

    Two absolutely shocking decisions in that half. First, blatant penalty for handball; he lifted his hands to block the ball, it's not even for debate. Second, not to book that bloke for a cynical foul. How was it not a booking? Just because you've played on, doesn't make it better. Saying that...

    That does make it sound more interesting that it probably was, doesn't it. 🤣

    Indeed! And fair enough.

    If you say so. This isn't a subject worthy of a bun-fight, though. But it *is* a sense of entitlement if you are complaining that something doesn't tailor itself to your very niche requirements.

    You've said what the situation was, and I know what we're talking about. This might sound patronising here, for which I apologise, but the definition of the word 'laborious' is something that needs significant effort to accomplish. There's not a single situation, anywhere in the world, where...

    It's not, though, is it. It's the most minor of minor inconveniences, if you could even call it that.

    You could argue quite plausibly that there's more interest in the England team than most Championship clubs, though, and if you are listing the England score, then it's logical to list the associated matches with it. I do agree that Iceland v Norway is a very niche interest. But then it is in...

    Good result for Andorra, though. On a list of all the things that aren't worth caring about, I'd guess the order that football results are reported on the BBC website must rank quite highly.
