I'm not arguing against video replay at all - although I do have some
concerns as to how it could practically be done. (Issues such as, what
situations would you use it for? When would you use it if there is no
stoppage in play? What happens if there is another controversial event
before you can stop play for a look at the video?)

From that image, definitely onside. From the (worse) image Dwight posted, I
was sure it was offside. Tight enough that any talk of the USA getting
"screwed" is ridiculous.

And then the whinging starts.

Which is why you don't see anyone here claiming that. Just you setting
up strawmen to knock down.

I've mentioned several times that I'm talking about various internet message
boards, of which RSS is but one.

So why go whinging on about it here then?

Whining on and on about others whining, really. Well done. <rollseyes>

Or am I now whining about others whining over whining?
