I don't think clear daylight is fair as that is a massive advantage to the attacker. My view would be that it should be the feet that determine offside.
Surely the edge of your shoulder is further than your armpit? That is, if the ball hits the outside of your shoulder then that's another arms width further than your armpit.
That's because it's only a projection by the umpire or Hawkeye as to whether the ball will go on to hit the stumps. If they stop the film at the moment the ball is still in contact with the player passing, it's not subjective whether someone is on or off. Granted they need to stop it at the...
I've had a look at some of the still photos and am inclined to agree. It is bizarre that with high definition cameras, they can't get a better still shot!
Why was it ludicrous? I haven't seen any evidence suggesting that he was actually onside or that the lines were drawn in the wrong place. Frustrating as it was, it wasn't a ludicrous decision.
Because Israel is a nation state and not a terror organisation. The UK did not bomb the shit out of Dublin when we were attacked by the IRA. Thousands of innocent civilians did not die at the hands of the British Army during the 'troubles' although there were some casualties. In 30 years I...
Not sure it's quite as simple at that. Yes, Hamas were never a cuddly political party but it seems that Fatah, the ruling party before the election (and had been for many years) were rife with corruption, nepotism so it would suggest the people of Palestine may have been caught between a rock...
Don't you mean Hamas? You seem to be putting all Palestinians in the same category as Hamas and that might be why your posts seem to suggest you don't care about their deaths.
And I haven't once said or intimated that terrorism is justified. That said it is often quoted that one man's...
And therein lies the problem, each side seeing what they are doing as justified. Problem is that on one side is a terrorist organisation resorting to a diabolical t. errorist attack and, as a terrorist organisation not constrained by international law, and on the other a nation state which is...
As Sussex Guy said, VAR has highlighted the inadequacies of the current crop of refs (and some recently retired). I think part of the problem is that for too long the ref on the pitch was the sole arbiter of what was or wasn't a foul. Now, they can make a decision and rather than seeing that...
Sorry but I disagree. Offside shouldn't be subjective, either you're off or you're on. They could change the law to say the lines are only drawn at the feet rather than a part of the body that you can legitimately score with but that would need IFAB to do that. If it becomes subjective as you...
Ok, so your argument is that they aren't safe in the hands of the general public so, based on the statistics for injuries or deaths, which seems to be the basis of your argument for banning them, what else would you like to see banned from sale to the public?
