My heart sunk when the Southhampton goal was ruled offside but at least VAR delayed the sinking feeling for 60 seconds.
Same thought occured to me. How far do you go with the high definition subjective judgement. Cameras that accurately define the distortion of a ball? A reference table that accounts for the differing physiques of individual footballers? Perhaps, cgi profiling of every player before a game? It's become bonkers. We used to banter about referee decisions, now we're into high tech and pixels.

Apparently, if the offside guy was wearing shorter sleeves it might have been a goal! I find it quite mind-boggling how the end of a sleeve can be used to determine offside. Does the FA specify how long sleeves should be? Don't bigger guys with XXXL shirts need longer sleeves? It should be where the shoulder meets the arm.
The late Julian Wilson said back in the 1980s, if modern technology can determine the winner in a photo that looks like a dead heat, then we can do without modern technology.greenmark wrote: ↑Sat Jan 30, 2021 11:21 pmSame thought occured to me.

Apologies for indulging in Liverpool. Feel free to add any memories of other teams. I know this thread is about trading but would be happy to hear other supporters thoughts about their iconic players.
Had a friend that became disillusioned with the Premier League. Created a map of the area he was prepared to travel to. Then shut his eyes and stuck a pin in. He claimed it was the best decision (footballwise) he ever made.ODPaul82 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 31, 2021 6:59 pmAll about Jimmy Bolton and Les Cleevey for me at Carshalton Athletic back in the early 90s as a kidgreenmark wrote: ↑Sun Jan 31, 2021 6:55 pmHappy memories.

Local team, always supported them rather than any larger team
Remember going to Barnet for an FA Cup First round match as one of the teams highlights
