"Semi-automated" ... so still reliant on human interpretation then? I also don't know how they can implement a system to do this and still retain the idea of 'not interfering with play'.

the example they give is stupid because it's exactly the sort of decision where the benefit of doubt should go with the attacker. his feet are behind the last defender, his arms and knee cap are fractionally in front. ridiculous

 His toe is in front if you look at the slice through

offside by a pinky

So we're complaining now that the outcome is too accurate?

[Ayatollah Hermione 13873]

Aye, the current implementation is absolutely great. Shame that we can only sign players with size 7 feet so you’re not offside by a toe.

 That’s our assurance? Fucking hell, throw it in the fucking sea. 

He was fucking woeful when reffing us.

Disallowed a goal that might have kept us up in 2009 for Nolan "obstructing" the keeper at a corner after it was highlighted the week before. 

 

Something that every team now tries at every corner. 

 

Funny how they never picked up on other things highlighted in the same way - Sheringham pulling players out of the wall comes to mind. 

 

Tl:Dr - he was an "I'm the star" cunt.

Squires having another pop at us but I have to admit I laughed  The Death Star's football team. I think I would genuinely be ok with that title.

Tuchel Binned

 

 

 

[Craig 6682]

That's utterly fucking ridiculous! 

[Gemmill 44900]

Thick end of £300m spent and they sack the coach. More of this please Mr Boehly.

First name that sprung to my mind. Closely followed weirdly by Rodgers. 

 

[Craig 6682]

They best leave Eddie well alone....

[Gemmill 44900]

Howe wouldn't leave here for Chelsea, I don't think. Sounds daft but I think he knows he's valued here. Chelsea fans would think they were better than him and there'd he a target on his back from day one. 

[Gemmill 44900]

I know I sound a bit like a mackem saying why would Neill leave us to go to Stoke btw. But I'm way sexier. 

[PaddockLad 17281]

So given the level of spending and the sharpness of the exit I think we can deduce that Tuchel wasn’t in control of the players coming in, reckon in some ways he’ll be relieved…

I don't know if I agree with that. I think they'd get rid of him either way if they thought it wasn't going to plan. We'll find out in the coming days though, I'm sure.
