St1pe Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 That offside rule needs looking at now VAR is in operation. That isn’t offside in the spirit of the game, it can’t be what the rule is intended for? That’s where I am. Go from the line of the feet or legs or something. To have to rule that out is ridiculous. Agree with that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 And then the opposite RB goes up the other end of the pitch to score. Letter of the law it’s the right score but the law is crap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Could a linesman see he's 1mm offside no, so it shouldn't be overturned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 It isn’t VAR that’s the problem though. The game needs to evolve with the technology. Or just not bother with technology and have a referee to ref the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Could a linesman see he's 1mm offside no, so it shouldn't be overturned. But the law means these decisions have to be right. There's no grey area. When you're checking every goal, it shouldn't make a difference if it's 1mm like Son, or half a metre like Ayoze. It's the law that has to change.

There's no grey area. Other countries with VAR aren't going to this length though in checking this closely from what I've seen. The law needs changing but the PL are making a ridiculous hash of it, just like they aren't intervening enough when there's blatant pens etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I’m skeptical that VAR itself could’ve conclusively determined that he was offside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Big fan of Watford fielding random players every year throughout the season. Foulquier playing for them today, 26 and been with them since 2017. Genuinely never heard of him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohmelads Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 VAR is supposed to be used for "clear and obvious" errors. Given the awkward angle, they've taken a punt that he's offside and ruled it out. It's a misuse of VAR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is a human is doing the lines for the offside while it's 100% proven technology for goal line technology. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
