Let's say the line is drawn and all of a players right boot is ahead of the offside line. Would you disallow the goal?

what part of “advantage “ to the attacking side don’t you understand exactly?
I've noticed of late, they seem to have started freezing the picture after the ball has been played, which is OK if you are running at the ball like Son against the dippers, but not good if some one times a run perfectly.
As for tge line, it should be taken at tge foot closest to the goal, for both attacker and defender
Were you at the away game against Wimbledon under Gross? Season opener when Tramezzani made his debut. I sat with my head in my hands for 30 minds after the final whistle. Was convinced we were going down. (Was at the away against Oldham where we got the result to stay up the previous year. Finished 3 points out of the relegation zone.). And people round here think sugar was a good chairman.Alcohol and MDMA were my saviour back then.
Helped me get behind the team in very dark days.
People still queued down Park Lane to sell out games though.
We are a tough breed.
To be fair, didn't do too many aways back then unless it was a chance for an away day weekend or a euro trip. Did most of my budget on home games and the obligitory sesh afterwards.
I do remember the Oldham game though. I had just moved into my first flat and was in the middle of decorating so I popped to my "new" local to watch on the TV.
I entered the pub (that I had never used before) and to my delight it was full of equally downtrodden Yids like myself.
We won the game, just, which I think made us as good as safe that year.
Heady times.
Are you a bit mixed up?
Wimbledon away, 1-3, under Gross was in the 98/99 season
Oldham went down in 1994
Thats the drudgery of the sugar days for you. (Yes, I may have got my years wrong )
One long blur of hoping for the top half.
I remember the Oldham game was rained off first..we didn't find out until we had reached Manchester. So we drove across to Sheffield for a pint and then drove home. Fuck knows how bad the pitch must have been when it was called off. It was terrible when they played. I remember some fat bugger rolling in the goalmouth mud(not Ian walker) when we scored.
We had a little blip when we got Klinsmann, Popescu, Dumitrescu in the team and made the FA Cup Semi
But yeah, was pretty bad.
Oddly, those are the days I got into football and started following Spurs. So I have strangely fond memories even during our worst days.
Recall people also having enough when we were on the wrong side of ghost goals that didn't cross the line, or disallowed goals which did cross the line, or the stamp on Parker that should have been red (and would have meant champions league football?), offsides that weren't given despite being a good half a yard off.
It's getting there. There HAS to be a shit period. And we have to be patient and mature through the teething process. Just don't football seriously meanwhile (and even when VAR ks working smoothly too!).

I put £100 aside to go and spend at my non league club a while back. It’s like the price of my ticket at Spurs but means a lot more to the non league guys. Figured it was only equivalent of £10 a week for 10 weeks. Think that was my lockdown 1 thinking!
Had totally forgotten about that till reading this thread!! Lucky I remembered where I put it.
So looking forward to getting back to a game there. Might double that amount now and just put it behind the bar for players and volunteers. Party time!!
I have been thinking about coaching again at non league level and just binning the top level but still undecided about that. Taking a step back from all football for the first time in decades has been refreshing. Think my other half has quite enjoyed actually seeing me at weekends and small projects around the house being completed. .
