I'm glad you pointed that out

Tennis and cricket are using the technology for essentially objective calls in a sport that is a series of discrete plays. Football is not like that. I'm not familiar with how it's used in rugby but I get the impression that TMO has a higher reliance on the on-field referee.

Bin it. It's failing to fix a problem that didn't exist.

Just checked the timescale. Ultrasound end of May, operation mid September (deferred by 2 weeks as the first date they offered was on my birthday).

I'm three weeks in to post-op from an inguinal hernia surgery. I have been lucky in that I recognised it quickly and had it diagnosed quickly. They weren't going to operate but I asked politely and within two months had the operation. Recovery has been slower than I hoped and I am desperate to...

This is at the heart of this. It's always possible to disagree about a subjective decision such as "unnatural" arm position. But here the head of PGMOL is staying they implement based on rules that the FA/IFAB changed two years ago. So how are we supposed to know what the laws are? For the...

Sorry. Memory failure on my part.

Yes, though UEFA want it brought back.

As stated elsewhere that is the version before 2020.

There is nothing in the current IFAB laws that says it's not a penalty if it hits some other part of the body first. Until someone comes up with a justification of why the Premier League is applying the rule differently then that should be a penalty. I'm in sympathy with the current rules. If...

This looks a good answer

I love that even with the team sheet we've no idea where people are playing!

I felt so conflicted.

One would hope so but that doubt would always be there. All that's needed is a tighter protocol about what is being checked. Something like the ref saying "decision: offside. Please check."

So we already have a situation where there is no point in celebrating a goal until play resumes and now it is being suggested that we wait a further 30 seconds after play has restarted.

More impressively my wife has had the same email though she hadn't ordered any Europa products and her order (for my birthday no less) has already been delivered!

I got the email but as I was in drop 2 I wasn't expecting it yet anyway

And yet at Old Trafford when what we set out wasn't working he changed it after 20 minutes.

I asked this question on the Premier League thread. The best I can establish is that this was in the IFAB laws up to about 2019 when it got taken out and this year UEFA have asked FIFA to put it back in. So my impression is that this rule does not currently apply to the FA/EPL.

Is that current? There's nothing like that wording on the IFAB laws that I can see.
