This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Auba offsides: I've watched it over and over by spade
And each time I see it, it's a goal.
But the last guy to come back onsides is almost exactly lined up with the 2nd to last defender who was tracking Auba. So if the line judge says that this last Dortmond player interfered with the ability for the defender to track and contest Auba from receiving the ball and scoring, the he is justified in calling off the goal. Dortmond had an advantage by haveing a guy behind the penultimate defender...that's the definition of offsides.
I can't understand how players don't "get back" faster and avoid this from even happening. You can only cause problems by lingering in an offsides position.
