That’s how it should work, so let’s change offside.

… wrong, and so an adjustment was made.

Agree. The settled view for many years was that if the attacking player is level with last-but-one defender they are onside. Combination of VAR and the way the law is written rules out goals which feel like ‘good’ ones, so that must be changed. Handball law+VAR was resulting in pens which felt…

Yesterday evening Google’s AI summary of my search about Edgar Davids mentioned, as a matter of fact, his £10m transfer to Manchester United. Complete bloody nonsense.

Saw Dearden‘s 1 league game for Barnet, at the other end of the 90s. A 5-2 defeat (better than that season’s other loanee keeper, Nicky Rust’s debut - 1-9!). Always think of him as a rare example of a short goalkeeper (think Wikipedia is giving him an inch or two at 5ft 11!).

If only Freestone had saved that panenka perhaps Lineker wouldn’t have tried it again versus Brazil at the end of that season!

…the pain induced by the sight of a former manager - an authority figure and the man at the club’s absolute helm for years - doing so is even greater?

Noticed David Moyes openly - *openly* - smiling and celebrating Everton’s goal vs his former club last night. We know this is strictly forbidden by convention amongst players. Surely if supporters’ delicate feelings are hurt to an unacceptable degree by a former player enjoying a goal against them..

Talking of TF teams’ individual results/records, his Brentford team only avoided defeat vs Barnet thanks to a *scandalous* Ollie Watkins dive. Totally irrelevant to your musings, I know, I’m just still bitter!

To my eye/ear I think the offside offence is Armstrong walking back from an offside position when that hefty tackle sends the ball forwards.

Elix-ere boy

Your view on that incident? Had it been taken? Don’t think Keane (?) thought he was taking it, and ball probably moving? But offside player wasn’t where Bruce was!

Surely if this goal to make it 2-1 to Plymouth completed anything it was a turnaround, not a comeback. They were never ahead in the 1st place, so how can they ‘come back’ to being 1 up!? If my team was 3-0 down and later made it 3-3 I wouldn’t think ‘we still need 1 more to complete the comeback’!
