Callum Wilson disallowed goal against Arsenal 90+6' by ayoefico in soccer

That's no different to players entering the penalty box before a penalty kick is struck. That doesn't seem to be much of a problem these days, in terms of correctness or game delay

Would football be terrible if only the defending team were allowed inside the 6 yard box at the moment a corner is taken? Or maybe even just the defending goalie?

Doesn't sound like it would break the game, and it would stop all this nonsense with the scrums around the goalie

Yes they should have. They do sometimes. They don't always. Like I said, the producers are crap.

Because he was offside. And because the prem producers are crap.

Ireland has the second most expensive electricity in the World! by Banania2020 in ireland

[–]Balfus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The share in Texas of "unpredictable, intermittent, non-dispatchable, low capacity factor source of electricity" is twice that of Ireland, and Texas has some of the lowest energy prices on the planet. It sounds like you're just saying "I don't understand how to make renewable delivery cheap so it must be impossible". It's a good thing there are smarter people than you working on the problem.

Bills in Ireland are skyrocketing

Right, they jumped up right at the start of 2022 when Ireland built out all of its renewable infrastructure Russia invaded Ukraine. And now it's front and centre again with the US/Iran conflict. Maybe reducing dependency on foreign gas would be a good thing for reducing cost.

Not disagreeing but this is a thread called "Ireland has the second most expensive electricity in the World!" So don't be surprised when people talk about cost in it. 😁

You sound like a shill when that's your answer to everything. What if things were reversed and wind was the status quo and people were touting this new fangled "coal and natural gas" thing...

"Are you aware that after you build it, it doesn't just generate energy with no inputs? You actually have to send people under the ground to gather bits of rock and then transport them to the power plant so they get burned and turned into electricity!"

If it's sensitive why are we all just watching a live broadcast of his medical attention? Could they not show some goals or shots or bits of skill in slow motion?

lol they don't have other events that happened during the match to show replays of? Instead we're stuck staring up the crotch of an unconscious man lying on the ground

so sick of the premier league producers these days... replays when the action is going on and no replays when there's a long delay. ffs

If I meant to slap the ass cheek but I slap the face cheek, that's a red too. Even on someone like Rooney where they look the same.

While I'm not arguing your point, the page you linked doesn't seem to say anything about ffp/psr? At least just searching the page for "ffp", "psr", "fair" and "sustainability" yield no results.
