the phrase or the fact that the linesman is obviously guessing?

I'm talking about fury at the lateness specifically, not whether the decision is right or wrong. I hadn't really considered it as a proxy for guesswork before.

Not at the phrase itself, rage at commentary would make for a one-sided poll.

either you've seen the offside and you flag straight away or you're fucking guessing, hell yes it makes me radge

If we're talking about timing, the gap which prompts this phrase is probably something like three-quarters of a second, which tbh I have learned to live with.

If we're talking about guessing, isn't that how most people make marginal decisions. Some days at work I feel like all I do is take a punt that 50-50 calls are actually 51-49 ones. The idea of a world of certainty appalls me.

i'm not demanding certainty i'm demanding uncertainty to err on the side of not taking a decision

Nah they leave it several seconds until an obv offside player touches the ball it's cuntish

i forgot about that stupid "not interfering" cobblers, ah fair enough in them cases, it's when there's a one on one and they shit themselves and then flag cos the nasty people behind them shouted

― tochter tochter, please (Noodle Vague), Friday, 22 February 2013 11:25 (thirteen years ago)

One lash for every foot they get wrong imo
