I see there's now a debate about where the offside line was on Sunday, which is hardly surprising as the longer they spend on it the less accurate it is. It is also virtually impossible to get a freeze frame of when it actually leaves the players foot. Football was a wonderful game because of its simplicity! As someone who really doesn't like very much about modern football I have to say I'm delighted they brought this nonsense in to show up the stupidity of those running it solely for cash. Trying to eradicate human error by getting even more humans involved really is genius. Maybe we can have another group of officials in another studio looking at the VAR officials and call it the VAR-VAR room, and then another group of...

I would hope that he was permanently offside in it.

Is Digby playing as a sweeper or do we have two people in Okedina's position?
EDIT: Not very random, but, uhh, have we ever played with a sweeper before?

Doncaster record a tenth consecutive victory to jump into the playoffs after being 20th last month- Big Joe scoring another in a 4-1 win at Colchester which leaves them still in danger of relegation. If they get relegated would this be the third time they have been relegated to the 5th level. Can’t be anyone else suffered this fate, surely?
Edit-Ignore this- it’s Lincoln who have been relegated twice
