But it may cause fright in officials not to be corrupt in the future. Some of us care about the game and integrity.
We should not let this go, the game is corrupt to the core (13 Viewers)

So, we've seen people saying that they deliberately manipulated which frame they used and painted the line over Wan-Bissaka's toe in order to get the outcome that they wanted.
Well the thing is, the line shouldn't even have been painted from his toe.
The laws are clearly stated here in this pdf: https://www.thefa.com/-/media/files...aws-of-the-game/2023-24/law-11---offside.ashx
(also see Law 11 - Offside )
They appear to have taken the pdf down now, but from memory it basically states that the head, body and foot is what is considered in offside calls and that the "body" is considered as starting at the armpit area (therefore, the shoulder).
Basically, Wan-Bissaka's torso / shoulder is closer to the goal than his foot and is categorically playing Wright onside.
I have drafted up some diagrams from two separate views in order to demonstrate.
(If they don't work, see here: )
For my own scrutiny, the pink lines are drawn based on parallel line mowing patterns on the pitch. These converge to give the vanishing point of the image. The blue lines are based on both the mowing of the grass and also the pitch markings, which are then lined up with the standing foot of Wan-Bissaka. A line is then drawn at normals to this line up to the shoulder in order to give the position on the pitch that correlates to where the defender is considered to "be" regarding the offside laws.
From this point on the pitch, a line is then drawn between it and the vanishing point in order to make a parallel line straight across the pitch at the position of the defender. As you can see, Wright is clearly behind this line in both images.
Even if you somehow doubt my images, you can clearly see from the FA's own images that the call was marginal in terms of using both player's feet, and yet they should not have been using Wan-Bissaka's foot, as his torso and shoulder were actually closer to the goal.
It was very telling how they normally deliberate on VAR calls for a very long period of time whereas with ours it was a quick decision to make sure they were not overly scrutinised. Notice how the pundits were very quick to say it is the correct call and sweep it under the rug too. They are trying to spin it that it is the rule that is wrong and needs changing rather than there is foul play at work here.
We should not let this go and need to make as many people aware of this as possible. It has been obvious that the game has been corrupt for years, but with VAR it just gives them more leverage to come to the decisions that they want to.
Great post. Get it up on X and send it to Henry Winter and Piers Morgan and copy the FA in and Starmer (in light of his comments)

You do realise sites like these do get viewed by journalists ( alot) and people within the FA as well as players.
By now the authorities will be fully aware of what is being said, actually in this specific case its actually been trending on Twitter about corruption, and it will now have an affect moving forward, hopefully ensuring more honesty. I fail to see what the issue is, dont we all want a clean game?

What ? This PDF that I've just downloaded from the link in your post ?
This is getting worse than the X-Files for conspiracy theories.

Do you surrender so easily in day to day life when there is an issue? For instance if you are a landlord and get obviously corrupt manipulated service charges? Do you just say, thats a bit shit but ill pay it and move on?
Look this isnt so much about Coventry City as about the integrity of the game as whole. May i ask did you think the last World Cup was clean? Louis Van Gaal didnt!

Freedom of speech?
Tell that to the Scots. And the countless people who are being arrested and charged for ‘hate crimes’ for exercising that illusion of ‘freedom of speech’.And yes, I do know that, and funnily enough, there are obviously ways and means of masking one’s IP address. As you well know.
Sure you’re just here to exercise your illusory free speech?

You went to the game today? I thought after becoming a might Aqua Blues super fan on the 27th of February, and attending just enough home games to get your 50 points allowing you to purchase a ticket to the Flippy Cup quarterly final, against Munchester Rovers at the Wimbledy Arena, you wouldn't bother anymore with matches. Fair play for sticking at it, the chairman Dougy Kong will be happy.

Mate you dont even go to games you whiny little snowflake. You are not even a real fan as your posting history shows. Likely a Leicester or V@lla fan.
Calm down, no need to have a tantrum! I congratulated you on your 5th ever Coventry game didn't I?

Jealous of your 5th ever Coventry game? I guess there are positives to being a brand new supporter, these are great times at the club so you didn't have to experience the wilderness years. Every new supporter is important so don't put yourself down.

You dont go to games kid as you are always on here looking on the match threads it seems looking at your posting history. strange that really. Maybe you go to more V@lla games? Or maybe Leicester eh kid.
Good look at your comprehensive school tomorrow.
You're stalking a school child on the Internet, checking what they've been doing? Don't you find that weird behaviour for an old man?

This is a private forum run to whatever rules Nick decides. Good luck with the Supreme Court case though.

You got outed kid and now are sulking lol.
Do you even know what the word outed means?
Anyway, being exposed as a child is better than being exposed as a nonce. Am I right?

do you know what a nonce means? Evidently not.
You seem to be getting emotional. Mum will tuck you in bed soon no doubt.
So no then.
I would included an old man who stalks school children online, as you admitted above, in the category of nonce. Did I get the definition right?
It could well be, if everything goes well.

I am glad you hate nonces as you will of course support the work Tommy Robinson does exposing them.
You should go to a football match, ask your parents to take you to a game somewhere, it is easier to learn about the game actually going to live matches.
WTF. I was enjoying the conversation, but you've crossed the line admitting you're a Tommy Robinson supporter. Have some boundaries for christ sake.

Where did i say i was a 'supporter'. You brought nonces up, and he does do a lot of work exposing them and door stepping them. I simply was stating you must approve of that, as do I.
