PaddockLad 20220 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 He’d get booed at most big clubs. Thats just a given. That is football supporters for you across the board. I completely support his wishes to change clubs too. The overall reaction to it from all sides is fuckin ridiculous though. I suppose that’s a given too..this is the tweet I was on about, for me it is 1000 x worse than the booing itself… 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebob toonpants 4641 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Liverpool didn't open contract negotiations with him with 2 years remaining on his contract like they had always done and he was expecting By the time they got round to talking to him his head had been turned 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone is free to ply their trade where they want, but I'd not be happy with say Isak leaving for free. Liverpool let TAA, Van Dijk and Salah get down to the last three months of their contracts. Whatever way you look at it they dropped the ball big time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ran out. Thats football, as they say. Edited May 12 by Holden McGroin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wor Jackie Milburn used to work down the pit in the morning, get the bus to the match with the rest of the lads, play in hobnail boots with a lacer the consistency of concrete, all for the price of half a pork pie. He didn't see the need to fleece the club and emigrate to Madrid. Proper men back in the day.

Craig 8080 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Taiwo Awoniyi had been placed in an induced coma following his collision with the post on Sunday. They need to bin off this stupid offside rule where they don’t flag immediately. It was only a matter of time before a serious injury was sustained in this period of play. It was so easily avoidable. Get well soon, fella. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 53655 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I don't think you can blame that. Injuries happen in football matches, it's not the job of the linesman to prevent an impossible to foresee injury. There's hundreds of these no flag incidents across a season and the vast, vast majority end up fine. Unless the offside is blindingly obvious, I'm happy with them allowing play to proceed and checking it afterwards if there's a goal. There'll be WAY more attacks incorrectly halted than there would be serious injuries averted. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you can get the AI offside technology to eventually work in real time (or almost) but it’s difficult to see that with the nuances of phases of play / players not interfering. It does seem daft when someone receives the ball and they’re clearly about two yards off though to then let play continue.

toonotl 3778 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Looks like we need a new rule for how far offside a player needs to be to flag immediately. It’s the only way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 8080 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 (edited) In any of you watched that game, you’ll know the offside was blindingly obvious. That’s the point I’m making. When it’s too close to call, let the phase play out. But everyone in the stadium knew it was offside. The commentators even said “the flag will go up here”. Stupid rule. As Alex says there’s no perfect solution and they really need to see what can be achieved with AI / semiautomation.
