Those replays again… it’s definitely handball! I don’t know what everyone is looking at. His arm straightens in order to get the ball away from the defender.

Otherwise known as what your arm does when it’s running! We disagree….demonstrating it’s not a clear and obvious errorThose replays again… it’s definitely handball! I don’t know what everyone is looking at. His arm straightens in order to get the ball away from the defender.

No, but I plan to. To start almost from scratch after promotion with no big names and then coach them into playing like this is quite impressive. I just hope their owners stick with him even if they go down.Have you watched that Burnley documentary ? He's taken a lot away from the way Pep and his team manages the team ,

It's shit. Before the u took a quick glance at the ref and if he was pointing to the center spot you carried on going crazy. I never celebrate a goal now until the other team kick off again.
This,absolutely spot on ..
I truly do wonder this: do the people who invented this understand the incredible emotional destruction that they've wreaked on the game in the space of a few seasons?
I mean, have they ever felt that pure delirium that every single supporter in the country has felt on literally dozens and, sometimes, hundreds, of occasions. I can only presume they haven't. Taking that away from the people who've been going to matches all their lives, just willing that ball into the net — I mean, taking away the instant, spontaneous, joy of it — nothing can be worth that.
Not one thing. I would honestly rather have the ref's decisions, with the mistakes that are part of them, back, if I could have that back. I've lived with them, i.e. the mistakes, for nearly all my footballing life. And I myself might often have been mistaken.
I want that celebration back, with no afterthoughts, no holding back. How often, where in life, do you have the licence to go completely and utterly crazy with joy? And sharing it with thousands of like-minded people for that instant?
It is a terrible, terrible loss.
And all in the name of a ‘justice’ that is often anything but obvious. If a ball brushes — literally brushes — the upper part of a player's arm on its way into the net, how can that meaningfully be called fucking handball!! If a toe or a knee, literally only that, is goalside of the last defender, how can that meaningfully be called offside? That is, how can it be considered to have given them a significant advantage in real time? It is driving me slowly crazy.

The point being, it was brought in to stop officiating errors determining games, apparently. Now more games than ever are decided by 2 shit decisions, 1 by ref and backed up by var.I truly do wonder this: do the people who invented this understand the incredible emotional destruction that they've wreaked on the game in the space of a few seasons?

Enjoying listening to Thomas Frank, very informative and seems like a top bloke.
It'd be interesting to have a current manager on every week.

Quite so. Except that now, what's even worse, is that you see a decision that most people in the stadium would accept, even when it goes against their team, being overturned by a shit decision that is somehow valid because it's backed up by technology.
Even with a screen, people have got to look at it. They have got to exercise judgement. The idea that you eliminate that with technology is a complete fallacy.
