Boys only want one thing and it is called last minute bangers.
Ruining football those kind of decisions. Measuring offsides to milimetres when the exact moment of ball contact can't be determined is nonsense. Just give the fucking goal when it looks level,
Can't take much more of this shit
Another armpit offside
again make the rule from the players’ feet
extrapolating an armpit ffs

Palmeiras with the one at the last minute. Another Portuguese coach with a great win. And he was born in the same city as my father.
So if Ings scores using the top of his arm between his shoulder and short sleeve mark, are they going to allow the goal?
How was Ings' body language tonight? He looked like he was itching for a move the other night.
I think the rule is something along the lines of any bodypart you aren’t allowed to score with, can't be ruled offside, so by that logic they would have to give a goal scored with the sleeve
Never been allowed in games I've played. 10 out of 10 times the upper arm would be given as a handball
I fart in the general direction of VAR. Only Mourinho can break me.
…and yet Matty Cash was allowed to pose as a starfish in front of own goal. So because the ball grazed his thigh he could act as a goalkeeper. Odd
I guess it's a matter of opinion but if you don't think an intention raking of the calf and achilles with no play on the ball isn't a red then we'll have to disagree. My question would be what should the punishment be for intentionally harming/potentially injuring an opponent? For me there should be no place in the game for this type of cunty maneuver...that is unless I get a freebie of retribution. It can't go unpunished.
This reminds me of the red Mike Dean (?) gave to the Woolwich player who pulled a player back by the shirt when he had no play on the ball. If every ref did this we would see more football. Consistent application of the rules and cracking down on shit 'challenges' would likely see fewer injuries and more football.
Plus it's Bruno (and ManU) who gets away with far too many of these types of shit challenges. But on the other hand it is Xhaka on the receiving end...
Which weeks version is that ?
Like all great ideas it's a simple solution.
Why is Reece James out in the cold at the moment?
