One thing about offsides is at what frame do they decided it’s left the boot of the player. In those split seconds, the player looking for the ball could go from on to offside, so the moment they choose is vital. For these incredibly marginal calls, is it really worth this nitpicking over something where there will be margin for error? They are looking for a perfect call when there might not be one.
Before VAR no Man Utd fan would have grumbled about that Coventry goal for possible offside, since it was so marginal, except for the extremely biased. Others have said that it will be hard to shift, because there’s too much money and pride involved now. However, I can’t help but feel the spirit of the game has gone with this (as with other things, including replay scrapping). It would have been better if it was only used for the truly ridiculous, but it would have been hard to stop there with managers causing a fuss over the lesser incidents that would have missed.
Sounds an absolute mess. First the National League announces Solihull get the bye, now they rethink and give Altrincham the bye. Sounds like an organisation with a diligent attention to their rulebook and professionalism.
Altrincham have been informed they are the team to receive a bye to the National League semi-finals & not Solihull Moors as previously announced
Moors now host FC Halifax Town on Wednesday in the play-off eliminator the winner of that game faces Barnet on Saturday

Sheffield Utd came out against it, so it’s not all.

We covered every hot topic of non-footy Bru here. All that is missing is Bucks to come along to talk about ‘so-called CO2 caused climate change’ not being a thing because environmentalists don’t talk about methane emissions from horse farts.

No, I don’t go off baseless speculation over a motivation to lie which makes no sense.

The club and James Moody have repeatedly said that they were initially rejected earlier sales and now have said that the change came after dialogue with the league. All on public platforms and with information that puts responsibility on the league. The club and James have to be the most risk taking and idiotic people to think they could get away with lying, since the league could just say this isn’t true (since they would not want to be held responsible for something they weren’t), over something that really isn’t worth this kind of hassle over.
Despite your claims, Facebook and twitter are hardly niche websites tucked away where people can’t see them. People have been sued for lying and spreading nonsense on them. Why risk being made to look like idiots by the league, or even potentially taken to task for lying over justifying some policy that would put extra pressure on staff just to print tickets with the known opponent on? Or for some worthwhile prank where they could giggle at stressed fans trying to get tickets for a game with two games to go? It seems the simplest explanation is that the club are telling the truth.

If it was because of the club, why do they continue to say it was because of dialogue with the league authorities? It would be easy for the league to refute, so it seems pointless to make stuff up.

Twitter’s a public platform, where people will get information and any falsehoods would be damaging. If he’s said anything false he could be in hot water. Could the authorities have missed this? Maybe, but why would Moody take the risk of putting him and the club in the frame for needless bother caused by lying over something like this?

I like the way everyone is believing Moody on this, The facts are its not in the Vanarama 23/24 rule book about waiting till the opponent is known, and the fact is that teams last year were allowed to sell the semi tickets as soon as the regular season had finished.
History shows be sceptical of the club, do they put the best interest of the fans first, not from previous no.Why would they put themselves under pressure and maybe lose attendance from some fans? For some giggle at frustrated fans from the prank? If Moody is telling fibs I would imagine the league would step in to correct to protect their own image, so why don’t they?

Madden was a decent enough goalscorer for us, so I don’t think there’s room for complaint, but he wasn’t not as good as Hooper or Sharp. Not as good with the ball as Keogh or Hayes.

Grimsby just need a point to survive and Sutton need to win every game with a goal difference swing needed. I think they’re pretty much safe.

Yes. We pretty well came to the same stand off previously, Sidey. When does the Euthenasia debate kick in? :)
To be honest, I don’t think our opinions were that far apart on euthanasia and would probably be less so now, as my opinion has only soured further with Canada’s experiments with it.

Aye, the world was a whole bed of roses before the enlightenment. St Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, Albigensian Crusade, witch hunts, low life expectancy. Those were the days.

Kelvin from Hull KR comes with a good reputation. He says he has some ideas. I hope he can do this, while improving food hygiene.
