They are so far up themselves anything other than top four is unteable.

Amorim sacked.

He's quick this lad.

Blame the BBC Sport App notifications.

I stopped listening to BBC News a few years ago but I left the Sports App on my aging Android.

I am old deaf guy with severe tinnitus and vertigo and I come in piece to give informations  but always late to the par tee.

Time for the 1992 class to show their class.

Get off the sofa and start coaching. Dream team Gobshite Neville, innocuous dull Scholes, anger infused Keano and topped of with Rio the druggie.

I suspect Keane's method of management is to endlessly drill into the playing staff how good he was and how shit they are.

Previously we'd be shitting ourselves that our manager would be poached by redshite but not now. We are just better than them and have been for a few years now. The only thing they have is a turnover figure on a piece of paper. Other than that, they're shite. Shit ground, shit entitled fans, Beijing Red style foreign fans, ludicrous pundits who spin boring stories about a poor midtable team, crap owners, loads of debt, manc twats going on about jibbing like it's the 90's, class of decades ago bore programmes. The list is endless. Fuck them and fuck Brummie Red/Noses in disguise.

Agree with every single word and as much as I despise them, I grudgingly admit that it's still one of the biggest jobs in world football and the challenge of turning them around must appeal to many managers.  Of course, I hope that doesn't happen and they stay in the state they have been in for the past few seasons.

Sell it to Amazon or Netflix and make a mint. Screaming character at the likes of Shaw and Mainoo would be worth a watch for sure.

Amorim was comically shit. And a twat that threw anyone he could under the bus when the issue was how shit he was.

More of the same please.

Wirtz looked offside. And he was - just. So why was his goal allowed to stand after a VAR review?

In the first two seasons of VAR there were some very confusing offside decisions. The lines drawn to the defender and the attacker would be on top of each other.

There were many complaints that this was against the spirit of the offside law.

So from the start of the 2021-22 season all leagues added a tolerance level, or benefit of the doubt, of about 5cm to the old offside technology. It meant that if the two lines touched, the player would be given onside regardless of the on-field decision.

This was because of inaccuracies in the technology, like the correct moment the ball has been passed.

In effect a player could now be marginally offside on the technology, but onside when the tolerance level was applied.

At the time, referees' body Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) estimated it could lead to an additional 20 goals a season.

The advent of semi-automated offside technology (SAOT) changed all that. Other leagues, including the top flights in Germany, Spain and Italy, have gone back to offside by the millimetre.

But when the Premier League introduced SAOT it wanted to continue with the tolerance level, to give some leeway to the attacker. That is because there are still questions about treating this new technology as flawless.

It is also why you will get situations like Wirtz, who appears to be just offside, but SAOT will give him the benefit of the doubt.

Gutted he's gone. Only positive is ManU spunked loads sacking ETH, then spunked loads on getting Amorim the clown, then more sacking him, and hopefully more getting the next failure in.

It's the same brains trust appointing him that paid a fortune to pack their team with half a dozen players that will disappear off to a tournament mid season so I'm quite relaxed about it all.

Love how they always announce rule changes like this just after they've been used to help one of the glory-hunting red franchises. Remember Van Nistelrooy scoring a miles offside goal for the other red arsecheek, and they announced afterwards it was because he was onside at some point in the build-up or some such nonsense. They'd changed the rules but hadn't bothered to tell anyone.

Or to retroactively change it after they've fucked us over, like phases of play when the Ings goal was ruled out at Old Trafford because Jacob Ramsey had bumped into Cavani in Dubai the summer before or the refs ad-hoc reimagining of the offside laws at Man City which just happened to be in their favour.

[cdbearsfan]

Twats, the lot of them.

[Sexual Ealing]

That offside against Man City too.

[cdbearsfan]

Ah yes, you're not allowed to singal for offside when there is a chance of a goal, in case it is proved wrong by VAR. Unless a Coutinho shot is arrowing unerringly into the corner of the net, in which case get your flag up as quickly as possible.
