Big day in the league today I think, bottom half is staying tight there and Spurs looking like they are in a good place for moving into 3rd, though if anyone has been listening to the 606 'Arry Kane 'aters calls I have to agree not sure how he gets in the team with crap goals like that!!
'At the moment of delivering the ball, the thrower must have part of each foot on the touchline or on the ground outside the touchline.'
DERMOT SAYS: "Gomez is fine. His foot is on the line, it's not over the line so it's fine. He hasn't entered the field of play. That was actually one of the better throws I've seen in the competition, there have been so many foul throws that have been accepted."
I can't tell if you are pulling my leg or genuinely believe what you are saying. The quote from the article you think proves your point proves mine.
His foot is in the line says Dermot, not over. That's is the exact opposite of what you say it says. Perhaps you didn't read it close enough.
Im not going to tell you how I know but I know I know a great deal more about the laws than you. I can assure you your interpretation of the law is incorrect.
If by law 17, you are referring to the placement of the ball "within" the arc then the line which defines the arc is part of the area defined by it which is why a ball which overhangs the arc is within it. The sideline is part of the field when determining whether the ball is in or out but not part of the field when you out your foot on it during a throw in. As in when Dermot says "his foot is on the line....he hasn't entered the field". This is the only place in the laws that has this inconsistency.
Do I win?
Im not going to tell you how I know but I know I know a great deal more about the laws than you. I can assure you your interpretation of the law is incorrect.
Well, I spoke to a guy in the week who was in the middle for an EFL game today and he agrees with mine. I can't quote him but since you can't say your source either then we're square.
His foot wasn't over the line, it was ON the line exactly as the law requires.
Entering the field of play is when his foot completely crosses the line. I agree it's an anomaly that one side of the line is the defining side in this case, whereas for ball in and out of play it's the outer part of the line, but that's the fact.
Well another fine weekends results, and a great display of fast-paced, free-flowing, creative and incisive football from our motivated squad of world class players and our tactical genius of a manager.
We'll definitely be challenging for the title this season!
I agree binners, Spurs and City looked great
Could be a very important game tonight though
We’ll definitely be challenging for the title this season!
Seems ManU are going backwards. They've not built on last season, Mourhino moans about lack of signings, spurs didn't sign anyone but are sitting pretty in 3rd...
Well looking at the players he’s bought in, and how they’re ‘performing’, would you give him any more money to spend?
We seen to be getting progressively worse every week
Mourhino moans about anything
FIFY, watching them on MOTD had me wondering if any of those players would be worth less than £30m on the open market, the complete lack of interest in making a tackle at times was appalling. The only thing more miserable were the people heading in and out of the ground
Rightfully booed off at the end. Which is becoming a bit of a regular thing. He’s clearly completely lost the dressing room. It’s like they’ve all downed tools until he’s sacked. As the players at Chelski and Real did previously to get shut of him
How else do you explain the difference in form in someone like Lingard who had a cracking game for Engerland last week but was absolutely awful on Saturday! Same across the whole squad. They just look like they can’t be arsed!
Got offered two tickets for the game but, given the price of them, decided not to bother. If you’d payed good money to watch that shite, you’d definitely be joining in booing them off
I agree it’s an anomaly that one side of the line is the defining side in this case, whereas for ball in and out of play it’s the outer part of the line, but that’s the fact.
No issue where the line is here... Up The Town!
That was as good a goal-line clearance as you'll ever see! I couldn't believe it hadn't fully crossed the line. Handy having a player who's that tall. He's massive!
It's a right mash of dance styles there......a can-canning clearance; super breakdancing balance by the goalkeeper, and the other Huddersfield defender is executing a robot but <Craig Revel Horwood mode on> points off for the thumb with should be tighter to the hand.
also - top effort by the stewards keeping that mass of orange seats under control!
Billing dished it out at both ends. He's blown hot and cold for a few seasons now but he's still a kid (22) and when he's having a good day and can be arsed he's fantastic. Hopefully he is now maturing and we'll get consistent quality.

I'll just leave that one there on VFM... Who earns more city or utd players?
So a first Monday night win for the Toon in a very long time!! Some great chances missed but good to see them holding on and Hart pulling a good shift in midfield!!
Yeah ..three on the bounce now ( wins ) ..never mind Hart in midfield I thought Ki.was outstanding and I can't remember him losing the ball.
On that evidence Shelvey has a real battle to get his midfield place back ..
Onwards & upwards ...hopefully !
Went to Burnley last night (in the home end so had to bite my lip when we scored twice in front of me). Burnley are in bother if that's the best they can muster. Allardyche needs a Plan B but doesn't have one.
NUFC controlled it really and should have been out of sight. Agree about Ki. Back 5 and keeper were excellent. We desperately need a No. 10 and a LB though.
There are about 8 teams who could go down. The difference will be how many points they take off rivals as the top 4-5 keep winning.
On that evidence Shelvey has a real battle to get his midfield place back ..
What my folks have been saying after the last few games though you have to remember he is in the black and white so at the point he looks undropable he will do a Diame and forget what he is doing, get lost and have us asking what happened
Most* worrying thing for me is Perez, when he had pace he could get in behind a lot more and run off people but he looks slower and so easy to disposes, I had to pinch myself to check I wasn't dreaming when he won an actual tackle and nearly did something with it.
*Well apart from the obvious
Looking forward to the PSG v Liverpool game- hope it's not marred by the Neymar and his Norman Wisdom impressions.
Looks like Klopp has gone for attritional with the midfield.
Yep picked City last night which was a cracker, hopefully goals here and Neymar getting the hump
Have to say it would be nice to see PSG exit early again.
PSG? Why would you want them out early?.
Oh dear, going to take a big rethink by Klop at halftime there, got the feeling some more bookings will come
Premier league teams seem to be struggling in Europe of late
All back on if Liverpool can come out and play like, well Liverpool!
Agree with the BT guys ref not in charge there at the moment
Bit lucky, I thought mane kind of dragged his leg early to bring that penalty on.
I'll take it though!
Liverpool have been overrun in midfield,
the penalty spares their blushes.
could get tasty in 2nd half......
Nice to see Liverpool playing around di Maria, watching PSG a little more closely their press is basically trying not to get caught with hands on and hope liverpool make a mistake before they do
Looking better for the reds the more Roberstson seems to get in the game
Well I guess we all gave up on booking diving for this one or are all the PSG players suffering from a medical condition
Yep, the so called focus on diving bypassed this one.
PSG? Why would you want them out early?.
Flat track bullies. And Neymar. Irrational I know, given the wealth of many of the clubs in the competition.
Lol! Aye cos premiership clubs are all jumpers for goalposts and financial fair play!😂
I know, I know..... but PSG are on another level. 5 out of the last 6 titles and 14 domestic cups in a row. 14!!! No one has won the prem back to back for 9 years (although City are odds on to do so this season).
I know, I know….. but PSG are on another level.
Yeah, the pitch looked like it was, how else could you explain the constant falling down. Honestly for all the brilliance of the players it was undone by their petulance and cheating.
Totally agree. I think the PSG players were on a bouncy castle.
Those pesky diving foreigners, our boys would never do that!....
Did you watch the game nobeer?
Bits of it, I struggle to watch 90 minutes these days, especially CL football.
Yeah it was a complete level above most games in the PL, the moment one of their defenders split his head in half on the grass falling over his own feet was particularly special. Liverpool just ended up playing around them lay on the floor in the end. It wasn't a great example of actual football there.
It's all relative though, there is hardly a minute of any game goes by the these days without some form of cheating, so to say 'but they cheat more than us' is a bit silly.
OK, it's basically exactly the stuff that was seeing premier league players booked for diving.
Again it it a subjective opinion but the level was certainly way above what you see week in week out in the PL and at the level where they would have ended up being sent off for it. The intent to play actual football was missing for chunks of the game, the defending was a joke and the refereeing was poor/not in control. PSG pushed that to be the case. For that reason I'd have no issues wishing them a very early exit from the tournament so that we don't have to put up with that any more.
another one for the 'you are the ref' / pundits spouting shite discussion.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/46408172
According to the pundit he can't be offside 'because the ball hasn't travelled forward'
Read the rules........
A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by:
-
interfering with play by playing or touching a ball passed or touched by a team-mate..... etc.
