    'Obscure" US TV choices - recommendations please

    Messiah on Netflix is quite good so far (up to episode 5 of 10). As the title suggests its a serious take on the Life of Brian.

    [Football] Right then. After that demonstration... VAR? Yes or No?

    The error due to frame rate (the 'missing' movement between each frame the TV camera records) depends on the speed of the players who are the subject of the offside decision. However, typically i believe it is 10 - 15 cm (based on other people's analysis of other incidents).

    Personally i want VAR binned but:

    [Football] Right then. After that demonstration... VAR? Yes or No?

    Am I missing something here? The freeze frame they used was after Mooy had kicked the ball and the line they drew for Big Dan Burn was through the mid part of his arm and not where his shoulder starts...

    [Misc] Best Christmas present you received as a child?

    Also got this one year, memorable because you had to be an action man 'expert' to be able to get the wet suit on.

    [Misc] Best Christmas present you received as a child?

    Upstairs window of house was not usually high enough for his parachute to open properly resulting in multiple action man injuries. If only I had lived in the 14th floor of a tower block.

    [Football] Right then. After that demonstration... VAR? Yes or No?

    Having seen the various responses I would now like to modify my thoughts and suggest that Mr Dean was unfortunately correct. Dean himself did not signal for encroachment, he left that for VAR. So whilst he could have ordered the kick retaken due to both sides encroaching, he didn't. Once it...

    [Football] Right then. After that demonstration... VAR? Yes or No?

    This is not correct according to the Premier League. Following is direct quote from the Premier League. See point 4. The VAR can intervene in one of the following instances: - A clear and obvious error by the on-field match officials relating to goalkeeper movement - A double touch by the...

    [Football] Right then. After that demonstration... VAR? Yes or No?

    Yes this is exactly the point I was making.

    [Football] Right then. After that demonstration... VAR? Yes or No?

    VAR can only check for encroachment where the player impacts the play. See post 783.

    [Football] Right then. After that demonstration... VAR? Yes or No?

    I am pretty sure the penalty re-take was the incorrect decision because of the following: This is from the premier league explanation of VAR interventions: The VAR can intervene in one of the following instances: - A clear and obvious error by the on-field match officials relating to...

    [Politics] Extinction Rebellion protester grounds plane at London City...

    For me there are two problems with the XR/climate change protestors. Firstly it is their assumption that the planet needs saving. It doesn't. It is perfectly capable of looking after itself as it has done for the last 4.5 billion years. At the moment it is reacting to the over population and...

    [News] Jamie

    I agree with this. The thread has a place in history as a lesson of its time. Yes it was funny. Yes it was bullying. Yes Jamie probably learned a valuable lesson. Yes the people who posted on it from NSC probably learned a lesson. Yes it's a tragedy when someone young dies. My personal opinion...

    [Food] Magnificent 1901 food thread lunchtime special!

    It looks a bit like a mouse with the legs torn off and the fur burnt away. There is clearly a nose and eye on the left hand side, on the stump of the burnt tail on the right.

    [Albion] So who had a Spud next to them?

    Outside the West stand an hour before kick off. Two Koreans (I presume) in Spurs shirts, flags, bags and hat. BHA club official is with them. "We have a slight problem here, your tickets are for seats with the Brighton fans".

    1:48 something for me which will be a PB round there for me. I found the rolling hills a killer this year and was dying over the last mile. The hill from mile 9 to 10, although gentle, took it out of me. Rain did hold off although the car parks (fields) were deteriorating rapidly. Gave the...

    Anyone doing Barns Green half marathon on Sunday? Looks like it will be wet and windy. I am hoping for a sub 1:50. May depend on the wind direction though!!

    [Politics] How is Boris doing?

    The EU wants us to stay, so even though some individual countries may posture about not extending, it is likely that they will extend in the hope that a General Election might change the maths. (IMHO)

    [Politics] Brexit

    I could be wrong here but I think you are missing the point. I agree that we do not get a vote on the deal. However that is not relevant as what is being proposed is an extension to the negotiation period. We do have to agree to that (in theory a veto). As there is no deal currently agreed...

    [Politics] Brexit

    I think it does. The Treaties shall cease to apply to the State in question from the date of entry into force of the withdrawal agreement or, failing that, two years after the notification referred to in paragraph 2, unless the European Council, in agreement with the Member State concerned...
