    IFAB have changed the "double touch" section of the penalty law

    Agree, I'd (wrongly) assumed this would go hand in hand with semi-automated offside which could judge these issues, and quickly but if it's all levels, I agree, incredibly difficult/if not impossible to judge by a lino.

    Diane Abbott

    Yep looks a tactical move for me. One in the eye for Starmer and gets to join the independent alliance which I assume was always the intention.

    Voting Age To be Lowered to 16

    Stick it in a foreign language too, French, or even better Latin. Or python for the young ones.

    IFAB have changed the "double touch" section of the penalty law

    Would it? (Genuine question) It's any part of your body which can legally play the currently I think, so not a massive stretch to Wengers proposal above. I think it would be quite difficult to "game" the new proposal unless I'm missing something obvious. Off the top of my head it might...

    Chernobyl - Sky miniseries

    Absolutely fantastic series, that is more than due a re-watch. Thanks for reminding me!

    IFAB have changed the "double touch" section of the penalty law

    Even when it can be proven that the corner was given in error - i.e. the ball clearly came off the attacking player? I'm all for reviews in that case - far too much money riding on elite games not to check something which can be very simply verified.

    Oasis video, full gig from yesterday.

    I know it's the phone mic but the levels sound well off. Liam, despite sounding great, is way too high in the mix. That said, this soundboard from night one shows how incredible it actually sounds live!

    Who’s a former player at MFC gone onto have a much better career than you expected? 👀

    I thought you could tell at the time that he was a cut above many of his teammates. Quite often he'd step out of position and move the ball forward (which in fairness wasn't a trait of Karanka's DMs, nor I doubt, were those his instructions) but it almost seemed like "if no one else is going...

    IFAB have changed the "double touch" section of the penalty law

    This is the bit I thought they did already but must have dreamt it. I still think we'll ultimately end up with sensors everywhere, in the ball, on players etc which will allow for automation of a lot of decisions.

    IFAB have changed the "double touch" section of the penalty law

    What about rebounds off bar/post? Game stopped? If red cards are reviewed it makes sense to review second yellows although I'd personally take it further and overturn the first yellow if it was deemed not to meet the criteria. I actually thought they did 3 already but makes sense to...

    Best Riverside era XI but…

    Completely forgot Crossley was Welsh, although The People's Republic of South Yorkshire might count as a nationality?

    Everton in for Hackney - Sky Sports

    Exactly this, whilst we don't follow the La Liga model re: release clauses the whole point of "the model" (sorry!) is that every player will have a price, and when that price is met, we sell. Of course it's unlikely to be public knowledge (even within footballing circles) but that's what...

    UK Political Landscape and the Overton Window

    I agree, they won't, however what Reform sell to voters and what they actually do will be two very different things.

    UK Political Landscape and the Overton Window

    100 pc this. That's the bit that isn't easy to change though unfortunately.
