    [Football] Clubs to Vote on VAR removal

    This just doesn't work. If it's not 'clearly' offside by looking at it, but is 'technically' offside on a forensic level, there would be even more controversy around it than there is now. You'd have fans complaining that a goal was allowed despite it being offside, even though it wasn't...

    [Football] Clubs to Vote on VAR removal

    Doesn’t work. The debate over whether the decision right or wrong will persist, which will maintain controversy. One person’s definition of clear and obvious will be another person’s not clear and obvious. Kicking the can down the road for me, Clive.

    I don’t know whether to laugh or cry that you’re bringing up Brexit in this thread.

    [Drinking] The Swan pre-match

    You’ll be fine two hours prior tonight in my opinion. Many will still be coming from work, plus 15% of the stadium empty.

    [NSC] Plans for the summer?

    Texas and Miami (for work, but extending the stay significantly), getting married in July, Vietnam honeymoon in August. Euros, but only on the tele.

    [Other Sport] F1 2024

    Doesn’t make it any less of a procession up front though, does it. Interesting indeed but it’s nothing like a battle at the front.

    [Albion] Alexis Mac Allister: Albion legend?

    The fact the poll returned a 50/50 split, it's a fact that he's not a legend. The title must come with unanimous or near unanimous backing! I'd be shocked if Dunk returned worse than 99/1 scores.

    [Albion] Brentford vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Not much analysis needed, did Wissa have his hands wrapped around Dunk who then shoved him off or not lol? If he did it’s a clear pen

    Agree, it’s not a penalty by itself. Dunk’s also allowed to shove him off, which he did, before being dragged to the ground. Do you think Dunk acted disproportionately to the situation?

    [Albion] Brentford vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    What’s the alternative? Dunk just stands there, unable to move with two hands wrapped round his waste? Pushing off entirely proportionate, he’s got a corner to get on the end of. Quite clearly didn’t start it.

    [Albion] Brentford vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Agree not enough by itself, but you have to put Dunk’s reaction into the context of why he was doing it - because Wissa wrapped his hands round Dunk’s waist. You say it’s not enough of a foul, but is it a foul or not? Pretty clear that Dunk didn’t ‘start it’, whatever one’s views on pen or no.

    [Albion] Brentford vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Is Wissa hugging Dunk (before Dunk shoved him off) not a foul then? Both hands round the waist with no eyes for the ball lol?

    [Albion] Brentford vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Agree that the first foul by Wissa wouldn’t be enough to give the pen by itself. But Dunk shoving him off was entirely proportionate - is he supposed to just stand unable to move?

    [Albion] Brentford vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    I’m not, several others making the obvious point that Dunk shoved him off because Wissa hugged him. VAR agreed too!
