How on earth does it take that long?
Goodness only knows. They have hot to get slicker and quicker at it. If it comes down to millimetres, the length of a stud or how knobbly the striker's knee cap is they have lost the plot.
They’re all rags in Ireland, aren’t they BD? (present company excepted of course).
I was watching on Virgin Media Ireland and they were trying to convince everyone at half time that it was offside, their producers drew their own offside line on the still to illustrate Sterling was half a yard offside, they said, no word of a lie, "we've out varred var".
I'm sorry now that I didn't take a pic of their line because it looked crooked. You couldn't make it up.
My main beef with those sorts of decisions is they are fractional - we are literally talking about millimetres which in reality hardly amounts to a massive advantage. It really ought to be more substantive to be called for offside. In days gone by there was always a reference to giving the benefit of the doubt to the attacker.
In respect of the Virgin Ireland view in matters I am betting they didn't think the interference with Bernardo which led to the penalty was a foul either?
"soft, very soft" absolutely no acknowledgement that the defender made no attempt to play the ball.
Oh, and great avatar of you and one of your little'un!
Wow, over 40 years old.The scarf he's wearing in that pic was mine, I got it from my uncle (when I was a kid) who claims it was put around his neck by one of the players during the celebrations at Wembley when we won the League Cup in '76.
Hopefully it passes down another generation in the future.

Like Father like Son avatar. Well done mate !Foden was 18 years and 288 days old yesterday, that puts him in the top 5 youngest English goalscorers in the Champions League, he pushes Jack Wilshire down to 5th and satisfyingly pushes Rooney out of the top 5.

Thanks Bart, something I've looked forward to doing from the moment he was born and delighted to say he loved it.
