Hot take: if the ball counts as in there despite it being literally impossible to tell and looking out to the naked eye, either the rule should be changed or the lines should be required to have GLT all across the four lines.
6 0 ReplyYes, GLT across the line would be definitive.
6 0 ReplyIt's the only way to justify this rule. Otherwise, it should be just if the portion of the ball on the ground or something, idk how it would be worded but this rule is simply untenable

I was just thinking that to your last point... crazy we can tell if the ball crosses the line for a goal, but can't tell if the ball has gone out of play.

4 0 ReplyLooking forward to 3 minutes added on
4 0 ReplyBruno G hits Jorginho in the head. Hits Havertz with the ball. Then tries to choke Rice. How is he not booked once? Fishy stuff going on upon Tyne.

Not a red card.
What, do we have to get literally murdered to get one given?

I'm starting to dislike Newcastle more. They might be the most pampered team by the EPL and PGMOL. At least Manchester City can mask it with good football. Newcastle get favorable kick off times and a PGMOL blind eye. Wolves were robbed of 3 points.

2 0 ReplyNewcastle have started much more energetically than we, hopefully we can find out rhythm soon...
2 0 ReplyI feel like we've shown we're equal to the challenge
1 0 ReplyI think this is our rhythm. Slow, methodical play where we control the tempo of the game. It doesn't always make for a viewer friendly game but it does keep the opposition chances to a minimum.
1 0 ReplyI'm not mad about it, to be clear - it just makes me laugh when I think about the 50 minutes of ball in play match last season.

1 0 Replyhonestly - we are not good enough. The premier league is going to do this shit refereeing like 60% of the time. We need to be good enough to overcome bad referees and Stokeish tactics. Nobody is creating shit. We're in the horseshoe of death again.
1 1 ReplyHere's the thing - consider the level that we would need to be to overcome this level of shit refereeing. We'd need adamantium skeletons for all of our players, maximum inhalers and caffeine pills from Liverpool, and all the luck in the world to level this playing field. If shit refereeing occurs 60% of the time, I don't think you can chalk that up to incompetence or accidents. Why is it that VAR seemed to be completely off for the first 60 minutes? Why did they get more yellow cards for dissent than for the actual horror tackles they put in? That's completely unfair to ask a team to just "be better" to overcome this shit.
