Hit his arm, no idea what the rule is now.

What a finish!

We also got by with horses for thousands of years but most people use a car nowadays.

Villarreal’s defending is really good, not a single good chance for Bayern.

Because they want to keep the game as pure as possible. Absolutely no reason why VAR isn't allowed to help on those as the ball is out of play anyway and it often takes 30 seconds for the corner or goalkick to be taken.

Apologies, don't mean to be patronising. And yeah, we'll have to agree to disagree.

Yeah, yet there's no need for VAR.

I'm the opposite, IMO it's working well enough for offsides but it's often a mess for penalties without any consistency.

The ball is usually in play for less than 60 minutes. Never realised how much people loved watching all the time-wasting and fake injuries.

You do realise it's still used by humans? I don't see much wrong with VAR as a system but humans making the decisions are still poor. It's better implemented elsewhere, hopefully PL can fix it too. And VAR didn't give the Wood penalty, just checked it for possible offside and whether there really was a foul.

You can't apply the 'clear and obvious' to offsides, thus you can't compare objective offsides to subjective shouts for a penalty. Chalobah on Murphy was 100% a pen and VAR referee failed. Linesman not flagging Wood's goal just highlights how much VAR is needed for offsides, impossible job for human eyes.

Would be brilliant.

You want them to allow an offside goal stand because VAR fucked up at Stamford Bridge? Horrible take and as you said, crazy.

It's a pen and he did what is expected from a striker in 2022 but it's still very much a dive/engineered foul and I hate penalties like that. Nothing to do with anyone hating on Wood. This place has a history for closing their eyes if it's one of you doing it, most were perfectly fine with Kane and Sterling diving all over the place during the Euros.

Seriously?

He's done really well lately. I honestly thought he was one of the worst PL footballers ever and absolutely pointless signing at the time but happy to be proved wrong.

Bruno MOTM by a mile. Wood a lot better and did some nice linkup play. Everyone else was pretty much a 7, ASM and Joelinton had poor first halves but improved a lot.

Should have washed it before giving it to him/her, lazy cunt.

Dubravka basically apologizing to Silva for taking those few seconds.

Yeah, love the freedom Bruno has in this role. If he's deeper he would have to tone down the aggressive pressing.

Deflection made it look poor, he tried to lay it for Bruno to have a shot with first touch.

Fucking hate penalties like that, only thing Wood was looking for.

Bruno is special.

Then the argument just moves to the subject of what's too close to call an offside. There's no other way to do it outside of a bit thicker lines that they implemented for this season.
