It wasn't a foul,but it was awarded and we failed to defend it.Did anyone else think it wasn’t a foul for the free kick that led to Wolves’ goal last night?

I thought it had to be clear and obviousThat offside decision against LaPorte is a joke, however precisely it has been measured. Indeed measuring offside to that level of precision is the primary joke. In the first instance, decision making by officials needs to be based on something that is possible in real time with the naked eye so that VAR is truly dealing with clear and obvious errors. I'd still bin VAR.
The first one was definitely flagged offside, saw the flag very clearly raised. Gabby’s second was also flagged.I didn't think so on our coverage, but they were both checked just in case, in hope.
The need for some to have scapegoats to abuse is still there no matter how good we get. Weak minded losers.This post deserves 5 likes never mind one.
Even after all these years the memory of a true blue, local lad, who gave his all for us and was, truth be told, a very decent player for the level we were at, having the confidence visibly drained out of him by a few thousand beer’d up, overweight, stinking scrotes every week STILL makes my blood boil.
In general or against us?mmmm it crossed my mind but they're given more often than not.
Yes I did understand the last bit, but thanks for explainingIt wasn't a foul,but it was awarded and we failed to defend it.
The margin of error should be used. For a start there aren’t enough frames per second taken by the camera to give the accuracy of millimetres that they are using at the moment. That’s before you even consider margins of error in the timing of the pass. The people who develop this technology know this. Unbelievable that this isn’t taken into consideration in the decisions.This really shows up the flaws of the T Shirt guideline for handball, because Laporte's hand is obstructing the end of the T Shirt line/PL badge they use to determine where the line between arm and shoulder is.
If anything I think he's actually been a tad generous with the line placement, I think he's drawn it closer to Laporte's shoulder than he would have if you could see the whole upper arm clearly.
Anyway it's the right decision as the rules are currently. I suspect they won't be like this for long, I believe the Netherlands are trialling a margin of error that's gone over well.
Savage appeared to like us in the Mancini era, hinting at being a mate of Bobby Manc’s. He seems to have been won back over recently by the sheer quality of football.
Never been a fan of his but he does give us a fair crack of the whip. He was always light on tactical stuff and big on hairdos and teeth. However, he has improved in quality and now either researches better or prepares more thoroughly.
It sounded like you were attributing the goal to a poor decision.Yes I did understand the last bit, but thanks for explaining
