"We scored the only goal of the game. I am sick of it. On the weekend, I had to put up with a performance from an individual that was beyond the realm of belief.
Tonight, he had one decision to make and he gave offside. The goal is a great goal and a great counter-attack. It is onside and has cost us three points. The arrogance of the linesman is mental. He has looked at me like I have volleyed his cat.
He is looking at me as if I have done something; he has made the biggest error of the night and has cost us the game. Our goalkeeper has had to make one save and we scored the one goal.”
From the replay I’ve seen it looked quite clearly offside, but either way Jones is not the full ticket! |  |

Hang on, are you trying to tell me that this celebration was performatively staged directly into the closest Sky Sports camera and not "spontaneous" as Nate would have us believe?
I'm shooketh I tell thee, shooketh. |  | | |

I think Wegner was always an advocate for the "clear daylight" rule
(when his team had some of the fastest players in the league)
I agree, being played on by a toenail is ridiculous.
Also, I've never understood the "interfering with play" part. |
I believe it’s something that Wenger has recently suggested, I thought there was a trial of this in a league somewhere. Actually makes a bit of sense to me. |  | | |

We all hate it when we feel hard done by. Wasn't boro's goal on Saturday offside? (I've not actually seen it but seen comments it was) but he acts like he's the only one it happens to.
Yes, decisions like that could get a manager sacked (see Graham Taylor's comment to a ref many years ago) further down the line as a result as a series of negative results but he's an absolute over-dramatic melt. |  | | |

Could have been off, could have been on - all I know is that our league is a thousand times better and more spontaneous without VAR |  | | |

It must be a nightmare being him. That amount of twitchy nervous energy. How do you ever sleep? | | | |

Hewed fingernails aside, I'm somewhat concerned for his family (assuming he has one.) The amount of stress he must bring home must be terrifying. | | | |

A Charlton mate mentioned that Jones tapes his hands during games to avoid chewing his fingernails.
The closest I could think of in another person is the comedian Mark Watson, who displays similar levels of nervous energy during his live shows and makes no secret of the anxiety etc he lives with. He had to go off mid show during one we went to in what was basically a panic attack. When he later returned to complete the show the audience got right behind him which was great to see. | | | |

Overestimating your tolerance and thinking you can handle the vindaloo at the curry house.

It's a nice idea, but surely we will just end up arguing over what 'clear daylight' is and we'll be back to checking whether a defender's fingernail on an outstretched hand is in line with any part of the forward's back leg, thus denying clear daylight, etc, etc | | | |

Well it used to be level was onside and left to the officials to make an instant decision.
It wasn't perfect and there were many errors but it was a hell of a lot better than being declared offside by a shoulder or toe, as well, as much quicker than a VAR decision. | | | |

What an odious scroat this man is. Look mate, you've had a good start to the season and you've played 11 men behind the ball. At home. To QPR, not Real Madrid. Well done!
Their fans were not enjoying it, either. |
But what everyone is talking about today is what an asshle Nathan Jones is rather than the performance. It's Mourinho 101, although it always felt deliberate and strategic by Mourinho whereas I think this is actually just who Nathan Jones is |  | | |

As my dearly departed dad would say.
He’s got a face only a mother could love. |
I will finish that joke for you Paddyhoops heard it all my life "when he was born the doctor took one look at him and slapped his mother "
Anybody have the reason Jones hates QPR he seems so angry on TV all the time . |  | | |

Got Les Ferdinand about five goals a season as well |  | | |
