Not sure the tank colour makes a lot of difference to visibility really - although I suppose every little helps. Its only visible if side on. Jacket, helmet colour and headlight/tail-light make the main differences. Edit - sorry I see same point was made above :)

I agree with the main point about this situation being farcical, but I don’t really buy this injury argument. Players may get injured on the pitch during open play - whether or not it’s after an unflagged offside is irrelevant.

true - but it made the analogy scan better :)

That's one incident. Its like saying - Imagine if the titanic never sank. We'd never have got to see Kate Winslet's tits.

Not quite sure of the rules around it but I think one was a concussion sub

Well played - most enjoyable defeat I've seen for a while.

Well as featured on MOTD it was no worse than Enciso’s. Both were embarrassing and both rightly booked. I think they should also dish out retrospective bans for simulation.

Does that count as a goal from open play? :)

On the positive side despite everything, Pedro looks like he's back

Because I was right. This is just blatently untrue. Video technology was peddled as the panacea by the tv people and moaning managers who had just had a decision go against them. A large majority of fans jumped on board too. Trouble is - none of them had actually thought through how it would...

There was a huge clamouring for VAR by TV pundits, 'wronged' managers, 'wronged' fans - none of whom actually thought it through. So we've got what 'we' asked for. Hope everyone's happy.

To what though? Wherever you decide to draw the line, be it six inches / one yard ahead VAR will give you a binary decision. You either make it a human decision or a binary VAR decision. If you want VAR this is what you get - there's no discretion - it can't work like that, its the reason for...

The Twitter image is misleading. The defender was sprinting back and the attacker was running back from an offside position to try and get onside. In the quarter second between the ball being played and us first seeing the attacker, the relative positions have changed significantly.

Yes - because thems the rules. The attacker was ahead of the last defender. Unless we all agree to change the rule to add a clause "unless it prevents one of the greatest comebacks in FA cup history, in which case it shall be deemed onside", then it should be offside.

This old debate again. Don't understand the arguments at all. If you wanted VAR, here it is. It has correctly identified that the player was offside. Just because we all wanted the Coventry goal to stand doesn't change the FACT that it was marginally offside.

Its all a bit contrived. Those 'jobs' they do along the way have obviously been researched and set up in advance, so their route must be preordained to arrive at that point. Its all obviously highly stage managed which makes the whole thing a bit crap.

Utter madness on this thread - if all our first team were to go down with the plague and we had to field the under 12's side, would these people still be blaming the manager for 'not reacting well to injuries' or being 'found out'? Well we are half way to that situation and a top 10 finish...

I like the idea of promoting from within. Now that the whole RDZ playing style has become part of the club dna, it would be a shame to throw it all out the window.

That was annoying and calling only 5 mins of added time just encourages it. There was virtually no football after 80 mins. Most of the added 5 mins was taken up with Roma players lying on their backs and not one second was added.
