*** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Sporting CP ***

It doesn't help that Conte ball is pretty soul destroying on it's own but VAR?????
I don't celebrate goals anymore, even goals where you might think there can't possibly be an infringement.
Utter utter flimflam! What a complete brick show!
 
If you are behind the ball you can't be offside.
If the ball travels backwards to a player that player must be behind the ball, so on side.

Kane was ahead of the ball. Slightly, but ahead.

I've only seen the still image - how did the ball end up with Royal, is he not offside when he headed the ball?

Cross from Perisic. Royal wasn't offside when the cross came in.
 
What makes no sense is they draw the line from royals head… not his body
Yet if an attacker receives the ball with his foot behind… the offside is drawn against his furthest forward body part
 
Option 3 please Bob
We're guaranteed third (baring some really really odd results).

If we lose, and Sporting and Frankfurt draw, 2-4th will depend on goal difference, so lots of different permutations there! Lose by less than 3 and third place is ours.
Lose and either SL/EF win, we still get 3rd.
Draw or win - we qualify.
Lose by three or and EF/SL draw, I think it then goes to head to head? If so, we finish third.
Lose by 4 and EF/SL draw, we finish 4th.

I think that's correct.
I'm assuming categorisation is:
I. Goal difference.
II. Head of head
But it's hard to keep up!

I personally think finishing third would be best for us.
We're not ready (and that includes Conte at Spurs) for anything past the group stage. But we are ready to be really good in the EL.
The players need to show who can step past that point - at present it's 5/6 at best.
 
Lots of confusion on this I guess we will have to wait for one of the bellend referees to come out on Sky and explain it.

They will probably do a special feature with dermot gallagher.

At least there is nothing subjective in it so dermot can tell us what the deal is.

If its a mistake something needs to be done to the var cnut. Sack him and ban him from all football stadiums for 6000 years.
