There was a rumour (yesterday, I think) reported in The Times that we've considering loaning Spence out in January. If so, he not so much "far down the pecking order' as absent from it.

we scored with about 2 seconds to go - so there was only ever time to take the goal kick
I fucking hate VAR but I can see why refereeing associations around the world want it. For years prior to its introduction Refs had to endure endless pundits analysing decisions on tv programmes highlighting their on field mistakes. Let’s call it the referees revenge. Now we have to put up with breaks in the game of up to five minutes and not knowing whether the goal we’ve all just celebrated will be allowed. AND THEY STILL MAKE MiSTAKES!
But the clock was still rolling during the review. Doesn't the rolling clock mean that we should get to make up that lost time? Or am I just completely misunderstanding the recent that we don't pause the clock during VAR reviews?
No thanks, I'm making shitloads from computers*Hmmm, actually I quite like it. I mean of course the arbitrary 1mm will still be making a difference, it will just be in a different place where Joe Public can't really see it, so we won't have the granular info available to have such outrage when decisions go against us. I do like it though -OffTheBench for next FA Chairman!
* One for the kids there
But on the lines idea, I think it would work until the technology is more advanced. Not that I'd mind VAR getting binned altogether.
Thats just the TV station display
The 4th official (I believe) is the one who tells the ref that the time is up - his clock would have been stopped when the ref whistled for the "goal"
And restarted for the goal kick
I hate it too. We're forced to trade spontaneity for trepidation, which is no way to enjoy a game. There's not a single goal scored where my delight isn't immediately replaced by the expectation that it's going to be reviewed (and ruled out) by VAR. And, when we concede, though I don't expect a VAR review, I desperately hope for one, which just adds to the pain.
Goal line tech, by contrast, is fine; it's black and white, accurate to within a gnat's cock and instant.
We "scored" with about 12 seconds of the minimum of 5 to be added. There were no particular stoppages in play in the 5 mins added time up to that point. If Kane had put the ball wide the resulting goal kick would have been the last touch of the game. No time was lost to the VAR decision making process.
You are misunderstanding.
It is always worth reading what you write here in the forum, thank you very much for that!!
We fans in Germany also have this fear!
In addition to the plastic clubs Leipzig, Wolfsburg, Leverkusen and Hoffenheim, there is the stirrup holder Bayern Qatar Munich!
We try to keep the 50+1 regulation (50%+1 must always have the respective club)! In our opinion, retort clubs have no place in the league.
When you see the joy there was (and still is?) among Newcastle fans when they were taken over by a murderous state - it makes you want to puke!
The way we were robbed I'd say that Hamburglar would have been better...
I am judging on your post and my reply. Simple.
You're pissed off that the referee didn't just conjure up 4 minutes for us outta' nowhere?
Odd.
The goal was the last kick. If it counted the ref would have blown when Sporting kicked off.
Not sure why you're pissed about that.
A judgement you seem ill equipped to make, because your response made no sense and did not refer to the context of the post.
I'm sorry I don't mean to be rude, but is English your first language - maybe that's the issue.
I ma ont ognig ot yrepl.
In the good old days , the benefit of the doubt did go to the attacker . The good old days indeed eh Mrs Perryman?
He gets it
It's a bullshit decision.
VAR is run by morons and idiots.
VAR could be a wonderful thing, but until someone with an actual brain gets to be involved in it, you may as well just stick with the on field ref.
