jacketspuds Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Thing is we only have ourselves to blame for being in this position. We had the whole summer to sign a striker and we didn’t. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NurembergVillan Posted September 16, 2023 Moderator Share Posted September 16, 2023 I'd simplify offside in a heartbeat. If the whole of the ball has to be over the line for a goal, the whole of the attacker has to be offside. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when it is SO marginal, I mean a subjective millimetre, when do they draw the offside VAR line, at what point: when he touches the ball or when it leaves his boot, because that half second is the difference. What happened to favouring the attacker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Althought I think Watkins needs more clear competition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably like that in the spirit of giving the attacker the advantage, you'd still have people pissed off about marginal 1 inch decisions though, as it's just moving the line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they want VAR to do and where we are with the offside rule in general now is both bizarre and bullshit Like Watkins also blocking the keepers view when Diaby scored at Burnley? They've obviously decided those are generally fine (which I think is wrong, but they're consistent) and Diaby was offside there. I'm failing to see the outrage if I'm honest.

thunderball Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Diaby is a class above, he is razor sharp. We need a forward like him as competition for Watkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
