    I believe they're told to keep the flag down until they're sure the play hasn't led to an immediate goalscoring opportunity.

    The idea is to avoid preventing a legitimate goalscoring chance by stopping the play for an offside call which turns out to be incorrect. They let it play out and if a goal is scored they can then review it with VAR to ensure the correct decision is made regarding offside or not.

    If the player misses or the play otherwise breaks down, the lino can raise their flag at that point if they thought it WAS originally offside as there's no longer the risk of denying a goal.

    Dutch football chiefs have cancelled a full round of Eredivisie fixtures before Ajax meet Tottenham in the ChampionsLeague semi-finals.

    The Premier League and Sky should follow suit.

    They won't.

    Ole Gunnar Binman talking down his squad and giving it to Anthony Martial. Lowlife.

    He’s the best of a meh bunch. Rashford might become half decent in a few years.

    It’s human nature - if there’s a fail safe way of getting offside calls 100% right, they’ll rely on it.

    It’s the biggest problem with var as far as I can see.

    United should put a sanctions-compliant bid in for him if City are stupid.

    If City go 2-0 up that should be the game and title.

    I can't see them dropping a point in any of their other 4 games.

    That's a great result for us. Backs against the wall stuff from the sounds of it, and without a shot on target, and we've extended our scoreless run, but we'd have taken that without hesitation.

    Have a little feeling Cardiff will play heroically and Liverpool will screw up tomorrow.

    You'd have got some really long odds on Perez getting a hat trick against anyone this season.

    In my long-running Newcastle save in FM '15 Perez had one season where he was fucking outstanding. I turned down all the bids for him and then he went to shiiiiiit. Disliked him in real life since. I love having irrational opinions of nothing players because of FM.

    I've still never forgivrn Adam Knockaert for always scoring against me in the same save,

    I bought Kane in FM2017 for about a gazillion quid, and he was unfathomably shit. Missed every fucking one on one. Had about a 50% record from penalties. The window licking cunt.

    Phil Neville once won me the Champions League by saving a last minute penalty as an emergency keeper. I was devastated when was sold him.

    I think it's just a case of honeymoon over in a big way and them really having blew their load too quick in hiring him.

    I don't think you can put this sort of shit display on the manager, unless they're also not trying for him now.

    It's bizarre how form's just collapsed as soon as he took the contract. Things like this shouldn't happen.

    It's strange they gave it to him before the end of the season anyway. What was he going to do? Decide to stay in Norway?

    Their form is less to do with Solskjaer than to do with how lazy Pogba decides to be. He hasn't tried since February.

    This is what I'm seeing. He's key and everything goes through him. His attitude is a joke and this goes on far too often.

    As you'd expect from Cardiff. Liverpool should be 2-0 up going into the break but not happened yet. Seemingly not affected by the pressure. Yet.
