Such a shame.
They lived the dream for eighty minutes but can now go home with heads held high.

You know what,I had me excuses typed out 10 mins before the end. Along the lines of Liverpool v Burnley or Cheltenham v City. The “lesser” teams have there game plan and sometimes it works. For 80 mins it worked. One thing let cheltenham down. Fitness.
will have to see how the lesser team Liverpool do tomorrow ?

One can only apologise, could be Liverpools best chance of European football next year.
Joking aside, how comes you follow the clarets when you live in Derby. Thoughts on the new owners ?

My Dad’s from a village close to Burnley, so have always followed both
If it brings in cash, without tearing the sole out of the club new ownership is great, potentially for both clubs.

Have an auntie who lives in Clitheroe, she took me to a fantastic pub there ( Bowland beer hall at Holmes Mill) one of the best Ave been to. Talking to a pal of mine who follows the Clarets with his wife. She’s from Burnley way. They sup in there regularly before games.

My Dad’s from Trawden, nr Colne.
It’s virtually on the Yorkshire border, so he had a very strong accent, now tempered by over 50 years in Derby. But still slips when he talks to his sister.

Another VAR feck up at Villa Park tonight.
How isn't that 1st goal offside tonight? An absolute joke

Same as the Man City goal v Villa the other night. The defender deliberately played the ball which puts the attacker back onside. I'm not saying it's right, just that's what the rule is.

Nothing like it. The defender HAS to play that ball, if he leaves that and he's not offside imagine the uproar. Ludicrous.
The defender doesn't know he's offside, that's the lino's job.
I agree. It’s a shambles.
I can kind of understand stand the rule of not calling offside on 50’50 decisions so as to not take the chance of a goal away from a team. But to not call a player offside when they blatantly are is rubbish.

In real time its a tight call but with VAR that has to be chalked off.
When you look back at goals being chalked off for toes and armpits being offside and that is allowed to stand its a travesty.
Too many variations of the offside rule has caused this.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with you and Papas that Watkins was offside. It was the commentator that explained the decision as I did above as to the reason that VAR didn't even look at it. Apparently the law as it stands means that Watkins wasn't offside.

I get yer, it's just an absolute joke.
The defender sees that Watkins is behind him, he can probably feel him and only makes that challenge because he knows he's there. Surely that situation is covered within the different rules of offside.
I'm fuming and it's nothing to do with me.
Pathetic.

This offside rule isn’t new, the fact it happens so infrequently I believe leads to the frustration of the fans.
They’ve tweaked and messed with the Offside and other rules over the years and it’s never going to be a 100%.
The players need to take more responsibility imo rather than moaning about something they should but don’t know about.
Sadly,
the only player I’ve had sympathy with was Lovren when his his miss-hit against Spurs was deemed deliberate.

Sadly,
I think the Newcastle defender took responsibility yesterday. He only made that clearance because he knew Watkins was right behind him.
Everything you're taught as a young lad playing football he done right bar the clearance could've been better.
We might aswell get rid of offside, it'll be easier.

The last change, not tweak to the offside law was over 10-15yrs ago, players have had more than enough time to know them, most were young lads.
I agree the Offside Laws aren’t 100%, but I doubt they ever will or could be.
