Like if that goal had happened before VAR, it would never have even been looked at, or considered remotely controversial or worthy of discussion. That's the problem with all of this for me.

I actually agree that Gallagher would be a good signing and would add a lot to our midfield. I just don't think it's the type of player we need most considering budget constraints.

You simply can't measure offsides to that degree of accuracy on a frame by frame basis. It's utterly absurd. That decision could made on or off depending on which frame you choose. Automated offsides will probably introduce an accepted form of arbitration if they're done quickly, like goal line tech, and are probably the best solution now the cat is out of the bag. However I still think it's total nonsense. Offside was introduced to stop attackers gaining advantage by goal hanging, it was never supposed to be something that was an exact science.

Yeah it's not like Gateshead wouldn't be potentially able to renew the lease with a new owner, or work towards an alternative ground going forward. If anything they'd have more chance of doing so as an EFL club than as a blacklisted non league club with a glass ceiling now. It'll kill the club. Depressing and shit situation all-round. Financially cash strapped local council forced to sell off public assets which could effectively kill the local club that relies on it.

I wasn't able to watch the game as on the train, only just seen the offside decision now. That isn't offside imo. Var goes completely against the actual intention of the offside rule.

Yeah that's terrible decision. It should surely either be Altrincham get a bye or Aldershot get a play off place.

Can only presume they're planning to flog it at some point

Completely. Hasn't even been mentioned - particularly as the process has been going on for a while.

Council have fucked them over. However the rule about a 10 year lease is also completely arbitrary and ridiculous.

That is absolutely heartbreaking after such a brilliant season. Fucks sake.

The Ukrainian lad has defo scored
