This is just stupid, where do you draw the line? 5cm, 10cm or 30cm? Then we would be back arguing about the same thing again. No, it is definitely not stupid. It is by far the most sensible way to use VAR for offside decisions seeing that VAR objectively cannot make accurate judgements due to limitations in frame rates. There 100% has to be a "referee's call" margin for error applied just like they do in cricket with LBWs and Hawkeye. That frame rate thing has been debunked and it was completely made up by Daily Mail. Games are broadcast at 50 frames per second but the cameras VAR use go up to 300 frames per second IIRC. I can't find evidence of the debunking.

Nah, I don't think that is all too necessary. But the actual justification for the decision should be explained clearly to the fans in the stadium and fans watching on TV by the referee who is overseeing the implementation of VAR. It would make things so much clearer to all.

Better lock the thread now then. Save the wasted bandwidth.

Such a bullshit decision cos players do trips like that all the time... Are they going to red card every trip? Nope.

Get the impression that he is the definition of a model professional.

Add in the Longstaff brothers. I have a lot of time for Dummett and Atsu as well.

I watched the second half out of habit when I got home, but wasn't remotely fussed when West Ham brought it back to 2-3.

Textbook Almiron in the box.

Brilliant by Willems for the last ten minutes. Really impressive in defence and ball retention. Bet he gets taken off.

Atsu so smart here. Helping kill the tempo and keep the ball.

Here, f*** off. He never stood a chance. Every comment you make is slagging off one player or another. Look above your post.

Both fullbacks should not be in the opponents third together at this stage of the game.

This is a good sub. Atsu far more disciplined.

Dubflapka in the action again.

And. Here. We. Go.

Bruce needs to react to West Ham pushing on.

Dubravka trying his best to drop another clanger.

Crap by ASM.

Declan Rice getting bullied out there.

And on the replay, it is more awful goalkeeping. Nah great free kick, f*** me he couldn’t have placed it better. Nah, it was a yard or so inside the post at a decent height for a keeper. They get saved by good goalkeepers. This guy lumbered over.

And on the replay, it is more awful goalkeeping.

That's a great goal.

Just offside.
