totally agreed....as I wrote to f365 last month:
Sad. I fear we are becoming rule chasers, forgetting the game we used to love. Really, did the 'handball' that gave Liverpool the Champions League deserve to be punished with a goal? It was a maybe cross that touched his arm. Give them a free kick if you have to give something. And then, Lingard's boot was a centimetre ahead of the Dutch back line. Gaining an advantage? Was he ahead of the defence? A few years ago, to get a bit of the spirit of the game back, they talked about daylight between the attacker and the defenders. Where was the spirit in calling tonight's 'goal' offside? All for VAR and getting decisions right, but we should beware of letting the rules overtake the game.
