I think the multiple cameras at different angles and monitors will allow them to see the point the ball is played. Anyway, I don't like it any more than you, but it does what it's supposed to. If the offside rule stays as it is, it's a case of living with VAR or scrapping it altogether, but I don't think that's very likely.

I understood your post to mean you felt Scottish football was more deserving. Mine was pointing out there are even more deserving causes.

This is the problem. They've brought a facility that can measure to the nth degree. Once it has done that, the operator has no problem. It could be a millimetre or a kilometre. Offside is offside, over the line is over the line. Do we have to change the rule ie clear daylight, if so how much daylight? Something more radical?

Maybe we should give the money to poor people?

Any level of continental football, PSG, Barca, Real...

Traitor! I don't buy from any countries we've been at war with. Hence the reason I'm naked and live in a cave.

Do some of you think there's a moral high ground that can be achieved by not watching English football? Where are the lines in the sand? I won't watch Celtic or Rangers.

When people sneeze near me, the reaction is more along the lines of... "Hoi, use a hankie, blow your nose for fucksake, go to the toilet and do that..."

Fucking Hell. If I was on a plane now, I'd crash it deliberately.

No wonder it's lying down, it's been run over.

I don't disagree that they're idiots but who would pay more than is paid by the existing tv companies. The perception they have always had is Scottish football is a schedule filler, when there's nothing else on.

By the time Hampden has been paid for, there would be no money for the clubs.

I hope he got minced in the outboard.

Did you wash it first when it was new?

Aye, the walk actually takes two days because of the number of chapels they pass. It's a feat of endurance in that heat.

League 1 and 2 aren't on that much, although Wrexham have attracted a bit of interest. Stockport is a great story, championship level to non-league and part time before going back up the divisions again, Tranmere, not dissimilar. I'm far more interested in English lower division football, more so since 2012 when I decided I would never have anything concerning Rangers and Celtic on my telly. (I watch the NI games as well, mainly because I've been to a couple. South of the border, I don't see as much, but watch for Bohemians results.

At least he's free to concentrate on the league now.

Fair enough. We all know this is just opinion and personal wish lists, but that would be a seriously hard sell. You're, effectively, ending those team's season weeks early. That's before you consider the wasteland the lower divisions will become.

What about the third group?

A lot of content on subscription telly is filler. Revenue also comes from adverts, there needs to be a programme on to carry adverts. Hence the reason there's Australian football in the morning, American soccer late at night. Where do you think Championship games might end up on the schedule? The same people complaining about lack of coverage would be howling about games being played on Thursday night's etc. There's also the cost. The SPFL don't recognise the tv coverage as a promotional tool to generate interest, they see it simply as a revenue source.

There's an element on this forum who will argue that black is white when English football is mentioned. The interest in Scotland has existed as long as I remember and I expect long before that. Probably right back to when Scots first started signing for English clubs. It's very easy to understand given the size of the countries, that the standard is generally better. We can't dictate what people are interested in.

Hebburn are doing well though, surprisingly given their small crowds.

They've been going to move for as long as I remember. More concerned about South Shields yo yo performances meaning the missed the play offs.

I've quoted you in case he's got you on ignore.
