I might have been whooshed, but what are you on about?

That one is unfair. If he hadn't allowed Gnoto to pull away from him he wouldn't have been doing his job properly at that point. He held the defensive line perfectly to isolate Gnoto in an offside position.

Well you can really. That is the moment the ball leaves the Leeds player's head on its way to Summerville. Summerville is clearly onside at that point. I'm not sure what more you would need. Easy enough to watch it on the highlights and pause it if you want.

It wasn't Rutter, the big shout for offside was when Summerville received the ball in the build up. But Thomas was playing him on.

It was about 9 months after the play-off final, he went to Palace first.

Dijksteel with his bandage. Jones with his face mask. Both at their peak. Those were the days!

Before VAR no-one ever looked for body parts being millimetres beyond the last defender. It would have seemed ridiculous and pedantic. I think the bigger question should be whether or not that margin of measurement should be classed as offside. If it is then VAR will always flag it, as it should.

I know, but without the precision of VAR analysis I very much doubt it would have been picked up on TV. I actually think VAR could and should be a good thing, and very often is. But the clamour for its introduction wasn't because of offsides like this one being missed.

There always has been too many holes in Blackburn.

Again, this would only have been complained about 5 yrs ago if it was ruled offside. The TV still frames would show the players level. Without the VAR lines nobody would discuss the length of a toe being offside.

Of course they did. But as I said, not in situations like this one. It would only have been complained about if the ref assistant flagged it offside. The replays would conclude the players were level. Nobody would measure the players' feet.

Yes, but this wouldn't have been seen as marginal. Any freeze frame sky produced would have been accepted as showing the players as being level. Now if the goal had been disallowed as offside, that would be different. Nobody would have said, "but look at his toe, look at his toe!"

Before VAR, in this particular instance any analysis or TV freeze frames would have concluded the players were level and the goal was therefore onside. Nobody would have measured it with the precision VAR does. The complaints were always regarding much more obvious errors.

Just out of interest, would you have felt the same way if it was a Man Utd goal that was ruled out? Or is it the spoiling of the story that is the important thing?

That looked pretty grim. It looked like none of his teammates went over to him and he looked distraught, saying sorry to them. I felt for him.

Don't panic! We're doomed. They don't like it up 'em. Put that light out. Actually I can't think of anymore.

I'm like that with Porridge as well.
