OTF

Better late than never on the celebratory gif front

For sure people will still complain but now the complaint is that they're not offside because their toenail was in front of the second to last defender. This would take that understandable complaint out of the reckoning. It would br their whole boot that would be infront. Where it can still be confusing is when they consider the shoulder and head. Make the rule relate to feet as this is how players move... if your head and/or shoulder is in front of the defender but your feet are behind theirs (or in the allowable zone) then that's fine.

I don't think anyone will complain with any justification if there is a clear advantage to the attacking player being ahead of defenders. I'm sure they will still complain but there will be no validity to it. There should be an allowable margin of error considering that they also need to identify the moment the ball was released to determine when to draw the line. That's my biggest contention. So for example if there is less than 150mm* between attacker and the second to last defender at the determined moment then allow the goal to stand. If it's 151mm and you're still complaining then you need a new hobby. * - Or if you really want to be generous 300mm

Public stoning and permaban for @LondonBlue if they don't win it.

Hope he's back for the post season games in Melbourne, he's my son's favourite player.

Not having seen it it sounds more like pointing out that championing a percentage with this many games to play and so many teams and factors involved is rather pointless (but then so is most punditry) as it will change so frequently. I like the statistical analysis from games after the fact, but it needs to be consumed along with the match itself. Not a fan of the win loss draw percentages that they now put up in each match and with each goal scored. It really doesn't add any value.

With Howe you know he is always looking to improve not only the team but his own management, you just won't hear anything said about it until after the fact as he is very guarded.

I went to an A-League game tonight (the Sydney Derby) and on the way home spotted a fella wearing a current toon top which I complimented him on. He was going to watch the game at a bar in the city (invited me to come) and was watching the game on his phone. In the approximately five minute interaction we scored twice causing us both to proclaim the other as our lucky charm. You're all welcome.

Did you see Spurs run in? Liverpool, Arsenal, Man City and then us again (down under).

Absolutely fucked their goal difference as well

A few upset fancy boys out there, bit late to try to show a spine isn't it?

Grown (rhymes with brown).

13 straight games without a yellow for Bruno. Incredible really. Better not get a straight red next match

BTW that Tottenham strip has to be the shittiest football strip of all time. I mean what colour (if any) is it supposed to be?

Time for the Eddie Howe lookalike substitute contest, to be judged by Emile Krafth

Beautiful header that. Wanted it. Took it.

FAB SCHÄR

Great ball Barnes

Eddie Howe Masterclass

Sad but true.

Remarkable three points after a shockingly bad first half.

Surely it's over...

Should someone tell Traore his hair is on backwards?
