Anthony Taylor of Manchester who supports *checks notes* Altrincham
No point in complaining- a team short of most of its impact players, two days after turning the champions over, gave a performance to be proud of.
Stout defensive performance, heartstopping up front, and only walking away from the home of the champions-elect without points by the most slender of margins. Top marks to the boys, result be damned.

If that's your team fair play. Hardest game we've had at Anfield all calendar year and a draw would of been a fair result.
Yeah- we'll get the rub of the green at some point, but it's the finest of margins.
Best of luck for the rest of the season (apart from at Molineux).
I feel like the priority should be to allow goals, rather to chalk them off- the current system seems like it's geared to try and reduce the amount of scoring.
The advantage of Souness's system is that a player in the position he describes would be getting a genuine advantage, whereas Jonny is receiving no additional advantage from being two blades of grass ahead. Offside is designed to prevent something that is absolutely not present in these marginal calls.
I couldn't give a toss about marginal offside calls, the game isn't poorer if someone is found to be offisde on a freeze frame. With a few notable exceptions, it was utilised well in the world cup and added more goals. In the pl it's just a buzz kill.
Yeah the current system 100 percent punishes the forward. We've had it as I mentioned before with Firmino's armpit and Mane's arsecheek so I've felt aggrieved however It is black and white, so you deal with it despite feeling annoyed.
Where do you draw the line in souness' system though, like I said technically you could be played onside with your heel but then you have a player who is literally a full stride ahead of the last player. You have to come up with something but we will still be arguing over where the line will be. It's really difficult. What about if we just don't draw a line, like quickly review it and if it looks roughly level then give it? The time it takes only heightens people's frustrations.

Why? We were already sleepwalking into guaranteed relegation. The situation has actually improved.
If we had that system, we'd then get to the point of referees giving decisions extremely quickly only to be criticised afterwards for not looking at things thoroughly. At least now, it takes time, but gets there (even if it seems harsh).
This has been my exact suggestion for weeks. Freeze frame. Is it off or not. Use both the VAR cunts and if they both agree that it's off then its off. If not then it's not. You have 20 seconds to decide. No lines, no pissing around. If you have to get a fucking tape measure out then it's too close.
The reason that level of accuracy works for GDS or hawkeye is because its a ball and its easy to calculate down to the mm with high framerate cameras that are NOT used for the broadcast feed.
Offside is designed to stop goal hanging and people being a yard offside. Not stopping people being an ear offside.
New rules for next season, every must clip their toenails before kickoff to make sure they are less likely to be offside.
Anyone with big ears will be asked to pin them back, Luke Shaw will be put in a binder to ensure his moobs do not encroach.
This is exactly right. The entire purpose of the offside rule is being forgotten in a pointless quest for millimetric accuracy.
We had had something like five goals chalked off for marginal offsides this Match of the Day alone. It's game-ruining bullshit.
Yeah, agreed. Some of these calls were bullshit. And they took too long, ruining the pace of the game.
Sad that Neto's first league goal was ruled out I'm beginning to really like the kid, loved his wacky arms inflatable man celebration. But jeez, Cutrone not even on the bench? Maybe the rumours he's off back to Italy are true.
The current rule for offside is absurd, the whole "Any part of your body that can score a goal counts". I remember an offside where the attacker was literally running AWAY from the goal, but he was mid-stroke and his heel was offside.
Imagine this:
Only the defender was actually running toward the goal.
What the fuck, man, the offside is about having an advantage for reaching the undefended goal, in athletics they have it right, the chest (The center of mass of the body) is what determines who's ahead of who. It should be the same with the offsides. Right now, if your feet are too large, you are literally at a higher risk of offside. If your body is tilted, maybe your shoulder will be offside. If your head is leaning forward, or your leg is extended in an awkward position. That's not right.
David Moyes first press conference:
"I'll give them no choice but to keep me in the future"
.........................is that a threat?
