Coventry goal against Manchester United. Attacker’s left little toe nail was 1/2cm closer to the goal.
Surely that isn’t what the offside rule is for? 

I really hope that we get promoted on Saturday but I’m not sure that I want to ever go back to the premier league. Never being able to properly celebrate a goal until all checks are complete is not what football is about (for me, anyway). 

That’s true. And I accept that wherever you draw the line, there will be millimetre decisions. 
My point was that this isn’t what the offside rule was for. It was to prevent persistent goal hanging with a defending team just hoofing the ball up to a player who was dawdling near the goal. 
This seems to be against the spirit of that. 

Not convinced they stopped the action at the right millisecond or that they were correct drawing them from the defender's foot when other ball-playing parts of his body looked closer to goal. Very cruel. The system cannot be accurate so should there be some sort of margin of error? 

Lets also give Simmo a warm welcome. A decent player, ex assistant manager and he has also beat cancer. Well done to him.

David Clowes...Derby County legend

Clowes is one of our own 

He's my hero. Saved our club and looks like undoing the bulk of the damage endured under MM in only his second season as owner. Deserves all the plaudits he gets in spades IMO.

🙏🏻 agreed. We are on the verge of being promoted. And another step closer to the prem. We were so close to there not being a DCFC anymore, only for David to save us. He deserves the credit and all the sentiment he gets. We should have a song for him of course. And we should all be eternally grateful for his sacrifice. He deserves this more than anyone 

I know what you mean !

Beat me to it. 
also, I had to go search it out so I could relieve that day: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53412704#:~:text=Nottingham Forest's season imploded against,finished in the top six.
(the Forest result, not our reading result). 

Correct me if I’m wrong but this was the Palace game

Remember Forest blowing a 3 point lead and a 7 goal swing when they played like a pub team against Stoke and Swansea turned into 1970 Brazil for the evening.  4 goals is nowt.  Peterborough have a  9 goal swing to make up.  That seems too much but they have a lose 5 nil, win 4 nil habit.  All a bit stressful.  2-0 at halftime please to make me feel better Derby.

I think we need posh to get a win  by enough goals  in midweek to keep their hopes of autos alive going into the bolton game ?
 Don’t want them to rest players or take it easy v Bolton

If we lose 2-0 and they win 2-0 we are level

I assume he means Simpson being manager of Carlisle, not Warne don’t worry 

I wish I were there. Tension more bearable when you are at the ground

NO!
Our 3 points is the biggest thing!

We could do with Posh being in with a chance on the last day to make sure they give Bolton a proper game and don't rest a load of players and get battered.
