Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr
All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.
Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.
It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.
The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.
Thank you though for all the memories

it was always coming. Freak accidents happen but continuing to play when someone is clearly offside is so stupid.

I think this is one where the rules officials cannot win.
You ask people to flag and then play stops and you end up with perfectly good goals being disallowed. What happened last night was sickening to watch but I do think the decision to not flag until the ball hits the net is the right one and let VAR make those kind of decisions.
But I say that before I get into the debate about whether your toenail can be offside

I see your point, but when it is obvious it’s offside then surely to flag it then is the correct decision. There have been VAR decisions that have totally baffled me, even last night the video ref must have seen that Wolves should have had an early penalty yet nothing.

Indeed but you are putting the decision back in the spur of the moment which means some decisions will be wrong. They won't have enough time to work on "how obvious is it" in a split second? What I would like to see if a cricket type thing where anything that is like a toenail or finger offside goes with an on field decision in the same way as umpires call.
VAR is something the game needs but it needs to improve dramatically from here and also why not have the commentary in the same way other sports do so people can understand the "logic" !
