RE: Huddersfield Town v West Brom - Lord Snooty - 11-03-2024
Umpire's Call. Yes indeedy. I've been saying this for as ever VAR has been talked about. You can't say which precise frame is the correct one. In which time, the player can go from on to offside in a fraction of a fraction of a second. The interpretation as it is, is ridiculous.
Anyway, hundreds of us, who were dead level with it, gave it offside. And that should be all the liner needs to know.

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.
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

The issue is the liner is he's looking backwards, not forwards. He's offside if the liner is leaning right and not left. Fook knows we had those calls against us umpteen times before, especially with VAR in the Prima Donna League. We have to put up with the incompetence of refs in this division without VAR. We had to put up with the incomptetence of refs and VAR in the Prima Donna League for two seasons (good luck with that if you get to Wembley or promoted) and our recent play-off final.
It's not just his foot - https://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules/laws/football-11-11/law-11---offside
Anyway, as I've said on your pages, good luck. Nowt agin Baggies fans, it's the bloody refs I have an issue with.

I wish you hadn't shown that evidence. They're talking about a re-match now! (Keep your ticket stubs/train tickets etc).
And that linesman's been seen at Police HQ.

Fotheringham to take his job.
Given it took roughly one training session and one presser to lose our team's faith in the guy, how long do you think it would take him to piss off the Aberdeen squad? Like with our board, how long do you think it will take Aberdeen to realise the error of their ways, assuming he was given the job? I hope he gets the job, it will get him off our wage bill. Sorry any Aberdeen fans reading this.
