    In that case there's always Little Deli.

    Tacodeli on Burnet has a patio, but may not be what some consider a business lunch spot.

    Sure it might well have been a clear error. But that arm was not in an unnatural position, mere inches from James' leg. So if it is not in an unnatural position, I don't see how the ref can determine the ball was handled deliberately from just a freeze frame. The ball might indeed have been handled deliberately, but ref should actually watch the video before deciding.

    There's not a lot of official guidance on VAR, but the premier league has at least said "Real-time speed replays will be used initially to check for intensity. Slow-motion replays will be used to identify point of contact." -- https://www.premierleague.com/news/1297368 If just a freeze frame was considered, then there was no motion used at all in the VAR decision, let alone slow motion.

    I think he relied on whatever was said in his ear about the arm moving forward. Disappointing because he had access to the video and is supposed to watch the video with his own eyes. The red card is not the problem for me. The problem for me is that we got a decision overturned based on the VIDEO assistant referee process, which has a "clear and obvious error" standard, with just a single image and no actual video being used.

    Doesn't the letter of the law basically mandate looking at more than a freeze frame before awarding a straight red if the hand is that close to the body? Not sure how you can conclude deliberate intent without seeing if/when/how the arm moved. Could the ref have ended up deciding it was deliberate and therefore a straight red despite the ball deflecting off the leg first? Sure. But you gotta do work. Pretty sure the VAR rules say you look at slow motion replays (which include more than a single video frame) to determine the point of contact.
  9. What absolute horseshit
  10. All that hard work yesterday and then collapsed in hilarious and embarrassing fashion.

    That dude would fit well around here.
  12. Yup.
  13. I may be biased but I am starting to wonder if our best lineup puts Mount in midfield and has two energizer bunnies in Pulisic and _______ up front next to Big Rom to receive balls to feet from Rom and constantly run at defenders.
  14. I am chuffed
  15. Really want this win
  16. Hard to drop Jadeja when he is like the third leading scorer with the bat at the start of the day. These are good problems to have though.
  17. Let's wrap up this tail asap.
  18. Good start to the season, let's keep the clean sheet.
  19. From this position you gotta put the hammer down. Bat just once and let the strengthened bowling group get twenty wickets.
  20. This whole season has been a long new guy hazing ritual. My first four draft picks all have been disappointments or outright failures: Yelich, Bellinger, Rendon, Kershaw. It is a freaking miracle I might still end up .500 for the year.
  21. I have found Gardein to hands down be the best line of fake meats.
  22. Lukaku is apparently done. I would have preferred Haaland for 150m over Lukaku for 115m. And if the reason we didn't get Haaland is really our refusal to go from 130m to 150m, that could end up an all time mistake. But, Lukaku it is, so let's go Big Rom aka Baby Drogba.
  23. The birth of my two children are probably the greatest moment of my life. So hey, I get it. But I think I have had 5 players go on the paternity list this year and miss games. What happened to players and their wives planning ahead so this kind of stuff happened in the off season? I'm fighting for my fantasy playoff life right now, damn it!
  24. Worthless Indian middle order once again.
  25. This might be@THUJONE 's magnum opus
