Wash Day Afternoon. Constructed in 1890, Dhobi Ghat claims to be the largest open air laundry in Mumbai, India. Entire families live on site in small accommodations while the washers clean clothes and linens from a lot of Mumbai’s hotels. Their system of organisation looks very similar to mine at home but is clearly more effective. #gfx100s #minolta55mm17 #india #mumbai #streetphotography

Like many, I recall and almost measure my childhood by the football greats of the time. Kevin Keegan was just sheer excitement on the ball, a pin-up of British and European football. And - I later discovered - a very nice bloke to meet too. Such sad news today. RIP.

@GrahamSpiers 100%. I want something to cheer on the pitch, it hasn’t a huge departure from the Germany debacle really. Ok, atm we have goal difference. Our entire World Cup history comprises of moments that amounted to nothing. We are in danger of not even getting one of those.

It’s ruined the game. What fan actually thinks a 5 min wait for a forensic offside decision has improved the experience of the game? Does anyone even bother to celebrate goals anymore? I want something visceral where the wokes accept the odd marginal call.

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

“Football is currently at a crossroads; while the introduction of VAR was intended to correct 'clear and obvious' errors, it has inadvertently ushered in an era of 'microscopic officiating' that is draining the joy and spontaneity from the world’s most popular sport.”

Important letter sent to IFAB by broadcaster Dave Johnson urging Law-makers to adopt Arsene Wenger’s offside law (allowing daylight) to “protect the spirit of the game”. Johnson, who covers D.C. United in Major League Soccer, continues…

“The Problem: Accuracy at the Expense of Atmosphere. We have reached a point where goals - the most precious commodity in football - are being disallowed because a player’s toe, elbow, or armpit is a millimeter ahead of a defender. These 'toenail offsides' do not reflect the spirit of the Law, which was originally designed to prevent goal hanging' and unfair advantages.

"In the current climate: Strikers are penalized for being faster or better positioned by margins invisible to the human eye. Fans are hesitant to celebrate, waiting for a three-minute geometry lesson on a screen rather than reacting to the beauty of a goal. The 'benefit of the doubt' - historically given to the attacker - has been effectively abolished.

“The Solution: The Wenger Proposal. The proposed change - stating that a player is onside if any part of their body that can score a goal is level with the second-last defender - is the logical evolution of the game. By requiring a 'clear daylight' gap between the attacker and the defender for an offside offense to occur, we return the advantage to the attacking side. This would virtually eliminate the agonizing delays caused by drawing pixelated lines to determine if a player’s shoelace was offside.

“A Historic Precedent: The Lessons of Italia 90. This would not be the first time the IFAB has acted to save the game from stagnation. Following the 1990 World Cup in Italy - a tournament marred by defensive cynicism and a record-low goals-per-game average - the IFAB showed great courage by: amending the offside Law (1990), declaring an attacker 'level' as onside and introducing the back-pass rule (1992), forcing goalkeepers to use their feet.

“Those changes revolutionized the sport, leading to the high-tempo, attacking football we have enjoyed for the last three decades. We find ourselves at a similar tipping point today. The game has become too clinical, and the balance has tilted too far in favor of the defending team and the video booth.

“Conclusion: Football is a game of emotion, not a game of millimeters. I urge the IFAB to prioritize the 'spirit of the game' over the 'perfection of the technology'. Adopting the Wenger proposal will restore the flow of the match, encourage attacking intent, and ensure fans remain at the heart of the experience. It is time to let the players play and the fans celebrate once again."

Anyone who had fallen out of love with modern football just had to watch Ireland’s and Scotland’s victories these last few days.

Generational moments.
