The new footy thread

Unfair on Wolves to be down 1 at the half. VAR'd offside by fractions on a lovely goal.

For all I complain about the NHLs use of offside review, it really could be worse couldn't it?

That Sheffield decision was likewise awful.

But this has more to do with the rule than the review. Review is getting it right, the rule is just garbage and needs to be refined. Make it so that foot position is all that matters and this is all so much better.

Saints start 2020 with a 1-nil win over Spurs. The club was in real trouble of relegation about a month ago (not safe by any means now), but looking much better these days.

Tough for Kane and Spurs but he’ll be cutting it close for Euro too.

Good to see this here. Massive, lifelong Olympique Lyon fan.

Shit year in the league, but making it to the round of 16 is nice. Drawing with Juventus means certain elimination, but whereas Juventus don't look at dominant in years past, we have looked awful domestically.

Tomorrow we are playing in the Coupe de la Ligue against Brest. Should be an easy win.

Felix might be having a tough go of it in his first season at Atleti but the fact he stood up to Alba, Messi and Suarez’s crybabying without a flinch puts him solidly in my good graces.

gotta be careful Saurez is a biter.

Barca certainly didn't like the last 10 minutes of today's match.

They don’t like the last ten minutes of any match Messi doesn’t score/assist three goals to save them.

Remember this guy?

I wonder how much Southampton will sell Danny Ings for after this season.

/Nice win on the road against Leicester today.
//Almost makes up for that 9-nil drubbing by Leicester last season
///Almost

Big loss for Roma and Italy. Took a wrong step on a pitch that Roma players after the game said was terrible, which is pretty damning considering they were playing at home at a stadium that will host games at Euro including all three group stage games for Italy.

He any good?

There's the Saints we all know and love, up 2-nil at the half, lose 3-2.

Every time they say he’s done.

Trying to figure out what the fuck happened here. Did they just not address the injury because his contract was expiring and then sign him to a new contract without a medical? Or was their treatment plan to let him heal naturally and then realize "oh shit his ankle's fucked"?
