It’s because refs and linesmen are human and make errors when making split-second decisions using only the naked eye and their judgement, so allowing it to play out enables the use of VAR to confirm or reverse their decision. The rozzers dont have to make such judgement; they use calibrated...

Same as VAR in football then?

The offside law is as black and white as whether a ball crosses the goal line or not. I can’t see how it can be changed to be fairer or more sensible. I actually think that VAR doesn’t deal with it very well seeing as there’s a margin of error dependent on the frame rate of the slo-mo. I’d...

I’m not quite sure what your point is. It’s rare that a speeding driver actually gets pulled over; you just get a notice of prosecution along with a photo a week or two later.

This is the bit I don’t get. It’s not as if allowing a game of football to carry on means that the subsequent passage of play is any more dangerous than the rest of that game of football. Some people are blaming the officiating for the injury in the same way that you might criticise a rugby...

It’s not though, is it? Driving at 100 is clearly more dangerous than driving at 70. Someone being a couple of inches offside doesn’t make the subsequent passage of play any more dangerous than the other 89 minutes of football.

But they do flag in this case (once the attack has completed), don’t they??

That’s not correct though, is it? The Lino invariably flags correctly, even if late. So in a case where the offside attack is allowed to play out and results in a corner, then the late flag prevents this.

This with bells on. It’s a really nasty injury, but this is just an unfortunate part of sport at any level. It wasn’t more likely to happen just because the player was in an offside position. I also don’t get the complaint about linos flagging late. If they flagged straight away then VAR...

Lots of people are unhappy with life for a number of reasons. Could be because they don’t earn as much as they’d like, they’re affected by crime or simply that they’re just old, unfit and grumpy about it. Reform gives them a group of people to blame for these things happening.

He was fantastic that day, but apparently that was the highlight of his season. Typical. Anyway, hasn’t Rushworth won POTS at Championship level? He’d surely be a bettter option.

Be realistic. He scored one last week; he’s got to put another 30 or so into row Z first.

Because it is funny.

They didn’t top the league in regular season this year though.

Did we score many set-piece goals from Spanish Dave’s delivery? The best I remember from the Championship era was Skalak.

That’d be the full-time job of the CEO and transport manager. I don’t think we can expect an unpaid fan attending a few meetings a seasons to sort all that out!

I’m usually very positive but I’m another on the waste-of-time side of the fence. Never quite been sure what the purpose has been. It’s not as if Bloom, Barber and all those working under them don’t know how to run a football club.

The £200m will add about £45m to the amortisation charge, so they'll probably cancel each other out. Given that the 24-25 operational loss was about 35m, we'll have something of a similar order as our overall loss for the current season.

End of June, I think. I know for certain that 23-24 included sales of Caicedo and Sanchez, but that Mac Allister was in previous year's accounts. Didn't we still have sales in the region of 30-35m last summer - Undav, Gilmour and Gross? Not quite the 100+m of previous years, but certainly not...

It's a massive salary, but to put it in perspective it's probably less than what Milner, Ferdi and March each earn per year.
