When you're presented with gifts on a plate you have to take them. We don't. Well we certainly didn't today.

RE: Huddersfield Town v West Brom - Lord Snooty - 10-03-2024

Well that's true. Burgerz should've equalised to make it 2-2.

Classic Corberan team performance today. A poor 45minutes followed by a great 45 minutes although going back in time when he was with us it was usually the other way round.

Town we’re excellent in the first half and dire the second. Absolutely nothing you can do about the 3rd goal, I’m not sure any keeper in the World would’ve stopped that.

For me Rotherham is a must win, if we can’t beat the worst team in the division we are done

We were excellent first half and deserved the lead.
2nd half we should have scored another 3 also. Burgz should have had a hat trick and Rudoni should have scored.
But WBA were just clinical in front of goal. Didn't create too much but when they did they scored.
Why Matos isn't starting is beyond me. Better than Hogg in every respect.
Rudoni continues to look good in middle of pitch but when he gets to the final 3rd he always messes it up.
Thomas our best player by a million miles.
Headley looked poor but was excellent v L666s. Not sure what to make of him.
Burgzorg looked good again, except for missing easy'ish chances.

I like Headley, but why is he playing in Koroma's position when Koroma's sat on the bench?

Anyway, in case you somehow missed all the fuss on Friday night, there was another Yorksha League game played.

It only made things tighter at the top.

How the liner gives this onside before their first goal beggars belief, but you always get the 'good decisions' at the top end and the 'crap one's' at the bottom of the division.

Is our right back shaking our keepers hand out of shot at the time? Oh, hang on, we had a back 3 and you can see all of them. Chicken says Pearson played him onside, not in this freeze frame he didn't.

That's the ball that get's West Brom going after not registering a shot in the first half. 15 - 20 minutes of mad defending followed. 2nd goal nobody tried to get in the way of, 3rd goal all eleven on the line wouldn't have stopped. 4th goal we were all in their end trying to score, except we couldn't when it was harder not to. The liner isn't to blame for our piss poor defending but he's to blame for piss poor eyesight.

RE: Huddersfield Town v West Brom - WakeyTerrier - 11-03-2024

I thought it was onside at the time, I was in the minority though

RE: Huddersfield Town v West Brom - Lord Snooty - 11-03-2024

Andy given how this poor decision changed the whole course of the game, I'd still not want to have VAR.

Your freeze-frame is actually after the ball has been played. It may only be a split-second difference, but even in that brief instant a player can lean into his run and look further off than he was a moment earlier. This shot is *exactly* when the pass was made.

Would VAR give it offside? Probably, as that left foot's still a bit suspect, even allowing for the dodgy angle. But as I've said countless times on here (with decisions both for and against teams I support), if a player looks bodily in line with a defender in real time - and you'd have to be one-eyed to say that's not the case here - then for me it's football's equivalent of "umpire's call" in cricket; benefit of the doubt should apply, and VAR be damned.

Still, hopefully it shouldn't affect your season overall Thumb up
