Andy Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Ridiculous that like. "Great decision has been made" - fuck off man. You can't disallow a goal like that because someone's fingernails were longer than someone else's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 That isn’t offside. It is, it’s just not clear and obvious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 f***ing hell, that is not a clear and obvious error. Any offside is clear and obvious. It's not a matter of opinion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 f***ing hell, that is not a clear and obvious error. Any offside is clear and obvious. It's not a matter of opinion Needs a change in the offside rule imo rather than that being a VAR issue. If your legs are onside for instance, let it go imo.

geordie_b Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I refuse to accept that he is offside there, its not the right/correct decision as there is absolutely no way of knowing exactly where to position those lines or the exact time the ball is played. There has to be a margin of error allowed and that margin has to allow goals like that. Another reason im glad that Ive packed in my season ticket Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 That isn’t offside. It is, it’s just not clear and obvious. What part of his body could he have scored with there? That millimetre if shoulder? If this is what’s going to be ruled out the age of players running in behind is over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Weird that not only is the goal disallowed but the wait and the way it’s done brings the oppposition crowd back into it too so it’s a double blow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 We are now talking about the prospect of wearing a lose fitting top and a bit of wind blown up and it appearing to make someone on/offside with VAR decisions like that now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 You're either offside or not. Love it that they are so strict when the technology to be so is there. There has to be some leeway like. You're taking away the joy of scoring when you have to hold off celebrating just in case your striker's lace came undone and was dangling offside.

taxfree Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 You're either offside or not. Love it that they are so strict when the technology to be so is there. It's trash. If you have to check it for 30-60 seconds using technology and endless replays, it's not clear enough to get VAR in to the frame. They clearly stated that any situation taken to VAR would be if the ref had make a clear mistake. He didn't here. Awful use of it. Terrible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately to the letter of the law, the decision was correct. It's the offside law which is bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much leeway in nano-meters should we allow? as it looks like it's that level we are disputing. Mental stuff from VAR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
