Well, Van dick, you'll never know, you won't get to experience it being top and under pressure.

Based on my experience (very low level sports) I think he is right and I don't think he was disrespectful in the article. It is easier to chase than to lead.
You have something to lose if you are leading and nothing to lose if chasing.
Having said that, if chasing you have no margin for error so you would think it was harder to chase. But it never is. Being out in front is a harder gig.

We were discussing previously in this thread how dangerous the media can be. Well yesterday is a good example. We are basically trying to cheat our way to the title while media ignore Leeds penalty shout against the Dippers and Rags been awarded something like 30% more penalties than anyone else over the previous five seasons.

Also, this narrative could carry over into future decisions. If we get shafted then it is ok because of Everton call and if the Dippers get another dodgy one it will be well deserved because of cheating City.......

This is very smart, how they are acting.
There will be a lot of pressure on the refs in the coming weeks to "repair" the damage.
Also interesting that, if I am not mistaken, the Premier League explained WHY is not a handball instead of simply saying: It was offside, move on.

I smell complicity.

[Original Dub]

Right, can someone clear this up for once and for all please?

I can see that richarldson was offside in the build up, but am I right in saying the Premier league stated the reason for no penalty was a non handball?

Why is the offside not the reason it wasn't given, makes zero sense?

The ref didn't give a pen after the incident VAR did not deem the refs decision a " clear and obvious error " therefore no penalty. At no point during the statement was offside mentioned.

But if you watch the referee when he gives the decision he gives it for offside?? Bizarre

[Original Dub]

Yes, 100pc the ref signals for offside.

And then pep's answer when asked was that there was an offside in the build up. It makes no sense at all.

I won't be losing sleep over it anyway

Something the BBC and main stream media seem to have overlooked

Isnt that because after the handball there was another offside which is when var was looking at the incident?

Love it.
If he bothered to catalogue Dipper and Rag dodgy decisions it would have more sequels than the Bond movies.
