TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 I see they just happen to have been gifted an extra rest day this weekend. And will be playing a Wolves side that hasn't even had 2 days rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higher net spend than Liverpool in recent years, owned by a billionaire, play shite football, have at best a league two standard poverty stadium. But he gets zero stick from anywhere despite being the streakiest manager in the league. Can’t stand him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oi cuntychops I helped build that magnificent edifice It was state of the art.... 18 years ago.... Anyone reckon the dildo sellers would be stupid enough to give Howe a crack at West Ham? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17281 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 It's a far bigger club for the media darling to fall flat on his face at. A logical stepping stone towards the Spurs/Arsenal job he seems to get touted for by those in the media keen to see English managers in the premier league's big jobs. West Ham seem to be about to appoint Moyes again though, who hasn't had a job since they sacked him in favour of appointing the man they sacked yesterday. If there's once club I'd like to see go down this season it's West fuckin Ham, purely because their owners are Ashley level Tory cunts. The fact that even these useless fuckers don't see Howe as a good appointment to build their club for the future tells you all you need to know about them and him; their short term panic appointment of a fuckin dinosour is still preferable to a manager who's never been anything other than distinctly average at the top level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 Why are they rereffing ambiguous offside decisions that are neither clear or obvious, but not giving obvious penalties like Carroll getting assassinated yesterday? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7031 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 What's the solution for VAR offsides? 1- Bring in a daylight rule. Either between the players on the pitch or the lines that VAR draws 2- Use a cricket type system where, if the offside is marginal, they just go with the on field decision 3- Scrap offsides in VAR entirely Offside law was created to stop strikers goal hanging and having an unfair advantage. Not to rule out goals because your armpit hair strayed 2mm offside. Apparently it's ruled out 30 goals already in half a season. Conversely, I think NUFC have benefitted from it. We used to always be on the wrong end of dodgy refereeing decisions. Shelveys goal against Sheffield would never have stood last season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And get refs to start using pitchside monitors for other decisions. At the moment it's how I suggested it would be, the referee's decision isn't final, it is literally being overruled. 2. Completely agree, most punters appear to understand this point but the half wits at the PGM or whatever theyre called have completely lost sight of this. 3. We've had the rub of the green, no doubt about it. The penalty Spurs didn't get at their place in August wouldve undoubtedly been awarded if it had been down to the ref.

Seeing all the players are now wearing those GPS vests (trackers) for data purposes, speed/distance/etc, just use those, a ball with the same GPS tech and make the tracker the point of offside. Easy enough to set a system up, like the goal line technology, that notifies the referee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current set is is completely against the spirit of the game. A different tech set up will just introduce a different set of problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PL the tech is here to stay so just make it work and take the stupid human "interpretation" element out of it. Definitive rule, the watch buzzes it's offside, blow the whistle, move on.

There was surprisingly decent stuff from Ian Wright on motd about it. It’s ridiculous the way it’s being enforced st present. The tech isn’t good enough to judge the exact moment the ball was passed when it’s very marginal. I’d probably go with option 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 The problem is that everyone is having a hissy fit every time it overturns a close call. Whether you like it or not, it's making less errors than officials used to. And more often than not we were on the receiving end of shit refs so I can't say it's bothering me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
