    Man U v Coventry

    This is fun. When Slab Head scored (good header btw) I thought they were going to walk it but Coventry have the same footballing Gods who smiled on us yesterday. Game on. As an aside I was driving down the M62 and passed a clapped out minibus of Shef Wed supporters and wondered where they were going. Turns out it was ****wood and they stuffed them, great weekend as Everton also beat the Foresters.

    That offside was iffy, they measured from the defender's feet but his arm was out which I've seen taken into account before. Maguire was decent as regards consoling/apologising to the Coventry players, perhaps there's a spark of humanity in that granite slab.

    I've got a lot of time for Mark Robins (even though he's a bit boring lol), and I think he's doing an ace job with Cov Fc.
    ManUre were so lucky, yet again, with that result today. 😟

    Not really. How would you have felt if the penalty for handball had been given against the Clarets in the final minute.
    Further proof, if it were needed, that nobody, including the majority of officials, really knows what constitutes handball anymore.
    The only answer now is to instruct players that they must strap their arms to their body and be just like subbuteo players. This would also give players more excuses to fall down when a breeze hits them because they would not be able to keep balance as well because their arms would not be in a natural position when trying to run. Mind you, that never seems to come into play when judging handball becausse they expect your arm to be down by your side.

    The mind boggles at just what they are trying to do to our once beautiful game!

    JUst a thought BT, offside is not measured by clear and obvious, you are either on or off as far as the digital operators are concerned. It stinks doesn't it?

    What halfwit decided that the natural position for arms is by your side ? When you're running and/or trying to keep your balance, arms by your side is anything but natural.

    The Jay Rod "goal" ruled out at Bournemouth totally convinced me the whole VAR process is a fraudulent farce.

    "They don't know what they are doing!!
