Bobby Martinez has to be a shoe in for the England job when they give Southgate the boot. Could make a mess of three golden generations in 3 different countries.

Lampard saying Martinez is a fantastic coach is about the harshest words Martinez could have received.

It’s been a bookable offence since 2004

Perhaps the better question is "whats the logic behind taking your shirt off when you know its an automatic yellow card".
Caporegime
I don't think there has ever been an official reason for a yellow for removing your shirt, but it's likely a number of factors.
- Sponsors not happy
- Those two part shirts take time to get back on so slows down the game
- messages on player's undershirts
- Giggs chest was too sexy
Soldato
If that’s the case why can we see the nipps through the shirts?
Same reason some bras have nipple outlines

I appreciate the quicker offside system, but the rule is daft, those players were on the same line.

Little something for the fans
At least it’ll be consistent.

How much further offside would you like him to be in order to be offside? 1 foot? Then you will be complaining that someone was 1.1ft offside. Its absolutely fine as it is.

Nice touch playing Sunchyme at the end there

I'd measure where the feet are.
Caporegime
And you would have no issues if the player is offside by 1cm based on their feet?
Soldato
1cm I’d still say is pointless but I’d set the rule as daylight bettween the players give the advantage to the attacker make the game more exciting and it removes the stupid thing like this evening where he is given offside because he’s leaning over so his arm and shoulder are offside as he looks to accelerate. I understand that is the current rule but it doesn’t make for an exciting spectacle and it favours the defender rather than the attacker and I’d rather a game with more goals!
I do like the speed of the automated system though as speeding up VAR is a must, first thing I’d do is get rid of the pitch side monitor for the ref and let VAR decide either way to save time.

Do we need more goals? We've had loads of goals.

We’ve been over this in detail before on here and I don’t see how giving attackers a massive advantage for offside would do anything but lead to much deeper defending. It would be so easy to break offside traps that teams would have no choice.
Soldato
The automated offside is working very well so far. Quick and difficult to argue with, I like it. Looking forward to seeing how quickly the Premier League find a way to over complicate and mess up its implementation.
Personally I'd measure offside from the feet position but I don't think its a game changer.
