    [Albion] Amex expansion.

    I guess I’ll get stick for asking but, why is “the higher the better”?

    Bring back the Rope?

    In many cases the death penalty would be a far easier punishment than a prison term. Why make it easy for an offender?

    [Football] Do you think that there is a top six bias with VAR?

    But how much light - is 1mm enough? Where has there to be clear light? Do arms count, armpit, big toe? - all the same arguments as there are now. Personally I like the idea of giving the attacker the slight advantage that changing the offside rule would give but the idea that it would make VAR...

    [Football] Do you think that there is a top six bias with VAR?

    I really don’t see how changing the offside rule like this would make any difference. All it would do is change the position of the blue and red lines! You’d still get the argument that the player is offside by just a millimetre, depends on which frame you look at etc.

    [Football] PL matches 22/2 - 24/2

    Just because refs haven’t had the guts to refuse VAR advice doesn’t mean that they don’t have the right to do so. “If the evidence provided to the VAR by the broadcast footage does not accord with what the referee believes he has seen, then the VAR can recommend an overturn. The final...

    [Help] Any solicitors/family lawyers able to give quick advice on wills/inheritance issue?

    We’re just in the process of redoing our wills and to make sure that what we leave eventually goes where we intend our solicitor has suggested we set up a will trust. I’m not convinced personally, seems to suggest the opposite to its name, a level of mis-trust rather than trust. Having read...

    [Albion] Can anyone explain the actual point of VAR

    Isn’t that with regards to offside following a goal being scored?

    [Football] PL matches 22/2 - 24/2

    Ultimately the VAR can’t overrule the on-field referee - VAR can only make recommendations on subjective decisions.

    [Albion] Can anyone explain the actual point of VAR

    I presume that VAR doesn’t wait for a break in play before starting to review an incident. Where they feel that the play needs to be stopped, for example for a penalty, then they can inform the ref. A number of incidents are reviewed over the course of a game that don’t interrupt play at all.

    [Albion] Red Card - Sheff Utd

    I remember reading in threads about VAR, before it was introduced, that one reason not to introduce it was it would stop “arguments in the pub” about refereeing decisions. Well you can throw that one in the bin. :clap:

    Indeed - also green belt - a far better environment than anywhere in Brighton.

    [Brighton] Scathing review of Brighton

    Of course there are plenty of worse places to live and work but how many of those places try to sell themselves as a tourist attraction? When we have visitors Brighton is the last place we would suggest for a night out or a weekend stay.

    [News] Is donating 8% of your wealth when you’ve still got $120bn left really that generous?

    That 10 billion doubtless represents far more than 8% of liquid funds available. It’s like saying that someone who gives 10,000 to charity is only giving 1% of their wealth away because they own a house worth a million.
