Amorim sacked.
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.
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.

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

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.
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.
