@jarredsumner Would you be willing to update https://t.co/GdYdUVQZiD for 1.4.0 release so people stop quoting "13k unsafe blocks"?

[Nikolai Prokoschenko @pronik]

@Steve_Yegge I've got a recording of "How to ignore marketing & become irrelevant in two easy steps" aka "the branding talk" from OSCON 2007 lying around on disk (I think the original died with https://t.co/X0f5OyrTnK). Any simple way to give it (back) to you?

[Nikolai Prokoschenko @pronik]

@DaleJohnsonBBC Is this in self-sacrifice to kill a bad undead idea for good?

[Nikolai Prokoschenko @pronik]

@DaleJohnsonBBC I still don't quite get why VAR can't be a normal assistant. Every TV broadcast has provided images for corners or free-kicks within seconds, shouldn't be rocket science to do a bit of special treatment for VARs. And we lose so much time on them anyway, why not get them right.

[Nikolai Prokoschenko @pronik]

@DaleJohnsonESPN do you have any reaction to https://t.co/V50Pg0EPPV ? I don't have a video sequence, but it should be obtainable via your sources. What should be the consequence for the game and the refs?

[Nikolai Prokoschenko @pronik]

@Telstar22995931 @DaleJohnsonESPN Not really, the VARs can't rewind and review every second of a play, they need a reasonable suspicion something happened. Using complaints for that is fair play, but I'm with you that no complaints shouldn't equal "nothing happened". Especially if we want players to behave.

[Nikolai Prokoschenko @pronik]

@Telstar22995931 @DaleJohnsonESPN I suspect it's been out of play, I don't know it for sure. But even then -- you are still allowed to kick the ball that's going out and be late. All of the other yellow situations were about kicking the ball away after the game has already been stopped for several seconds.

[Nikolai Prokoschenko @pronik]

@Telstar22995931 @DaleJohnsonESPN The refs are using complaints as an indicator of a missed incident -- no complaints means even the players in direct vicinity with an incentive to see/imagine something that would give them an advantage (foul, penalty, red card etc.) have seen nothing.

[Nikolai Prokoschenko @pronik]

@Telstar22995931 @DaleJohnsonESPN Salah hoofed a live ball away which has barely gone out if at all. And the second ball is right there to put back into the game. No delay whatsoever.

[Nikolai Prokoschenko @pronik]

@DaleJohnsonESPN Isak offside goal with our dear old friends Deliberate Play and Deliberate Block (I agree with the decision, but maybe a reminder about how deliberate play works is due)

[Nikolai Prokoschenko @pronik]

@DaleJohnsonESPN I fail to understand how getting fouled while being one on one with the goalkeeper is a DOGSO, but being fouled with the ball in front of an empty net but slightly sideways somehow isn't.

[Nikolai Prokoschenko @pronik]

@JamesCliGra @stehoare He can't give a penalty, he can give a card.

[Nikolai Prokoschenko @pronik]

@Sargesbackheel @DaleJohnsonESPN Not if he played advantage.

[Nikolai Prokoschenko @pronik]

@DaleJohnsonESPN Shortly in #LIVAVL: Salah breaks through, is fouled for a DOGSO, Coote motions "no foul" and Darwin scores from a rebound. Had Coote given advantage and had Darwin missed, would a VAR red still have been possible?

[Nikolai Prokoschenko @pronik]

@Sargesbackheel @DaleJohnsonESPN Deliberate mistake by Coote. If he plays advantage there most probably won't be a red, since there is no DOGSO then. What he did was possibly the only sane solution, but jury is out where he's that clever.

[Nikolai Prokoschenko @pronik]

@Sargesbackheel @DaleJohnsonESPN Or it could be deliberate. Playing advantage without Darwin scoring might have been a yellow (hence the question for Dave) which would raise way more questions to Coote than either if he stopped the game immediately or if he made a "mistake" by saying it's not a foul (as he did).

[Nikolai Prokoschenko @pronik]

@Sargesbackheel @DaleJohnsonESPN What else? He waved his arms to the sides, a literal "nothing". Difficult to see in the "default" angle, but perfectly from the "front of goal" angle, replayed later.

[Nikolai Prokoschenko @pronik]

@TheStoneyGuy @DaleJohnsonESPN Which is completely irrelevant, it wasn't even close to a punishable handball. If you are thinking about a goalscorer's handball, Jones didn't score, so the normal rules apply.

[Nikolai Prokoschenko @pronik]

@JackTer11093393 @DaleJohnsonESPN I think they only consider a foul a DOGSO when the ball is clearly controlled by the fouled player. I agree that Jota and a free header five yards out is as good a DOGSO as any, but that's not how they interpret it.

@DaleJohnsonESPN Forbs vs. Robertson please
