Today’s Football 2019/20 Season

[TheBigIguana]

Think most people have a problem with the implementation of the offside rule, but fair enough if you don't. Defo agree about the penalties and red card thing though.

VAR is meant to make things fairer but I think most fans feel that hasn't been the case so far.

The "benefit of the doubt to the attacker" cliche, which as far as I know hasn't ever been a thing referees are actually instructed to do, makes a lot of people think that close calls are wrong when in reality offside is offside.

 

[Mozza1987]

The technology for making the offside decision isn't based on one camera

So how do they get a correct line if the camera they are looking at isn't in line with the play?

It's a nonsense rule of you ask me. It should be daylight. You get no advantage from millimeteres. Its a pedantic rule that deprives us of more goals.

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

These look far better than us at the minute don't they

Yes they do.

They have a really good midfield and Vardy can stretch any defence.

 

[billyblue80]

They do look good but it makes me ill how the media fawn over Leicester.

 

[Albertini78]

Spurs have only taken 19ts from their last 18 games

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Spurs just folded after the VAR call on the 2nd goal.

Mentally weak from them. Again.

 

[Death]

How are Leicester looking decent with that Kopite Rogers?

I can't find a good article about it but apparently they have something they call "crosshair" technology that operates similar to Hawkeye for tennis but with the addition to pinpoint spots for offside lines. I really can't explain how it works but it is supposed to be on par with goalline tech in terms of accuracy.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Yes they do.

Whereas we should have kept Gana and signed a Haller or Wilson and we would be in a similiar position to them.

Silva is a dud but Brands is just as culpable this summer.

I don't agree with that change but I see why people want to do it. But it also will not eliminate close decisions like the one today on its own. As long as there is a line this will happen.

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

They do look good but it makes me ill how the media fawn over Leicester.

I would be furious to not be included in the 'big 6' narrative having won the league very recently if I was a Leicester fan.

They are an excellent side tbf to them.

Just don't see how the line can not be from the camera unless they have things on the players. Anyway it was a shocking decision.

They should be and I hope they gate crash if we don't still find it sickmaking the way the media laud them. We dont get anywhere near the sort of thing even when we do well.
