What happened to allowing more physicality into the game this season?

 

Ken Early was on about this last week on Second Captains when there was a similar decision, a goal ruled out for a soft foul in the build up. Basically they seem to be taking a stance of let the game flow and don't give soft ones, unless that soft one leads to a goal, in which case disallow it afterwards.

If that's a foul then so was the push on Willock yesterday

There was a scissors tackle by Maddisson on Welbeck (i think) in the box earlier today and wasn't even checked. Yet, Willock gets pushed into the Palace keeper by a Palace defender and you know the rest....we have knobs refeering our game.

Might as well keep giving the soft fouls if they're just going to disallow a goal if one comes from it.

It’s as bad as the if it grazes a defender it’s a new phase of play thing. Almost worth risking not playing the ball in the hope they’re offside rather than stretching for it and just getting it but not enough to clear the ball at times.

:thup: 

 

I do agree with this, however, in this particular situation I think the decision was the correct one based on how they use the system right now, no?  He's ''clearly'' offside (those thin lines weren't touching), and clearly tries to play the ball and affects the defenders making the clearance. I just don't understand why it took the VAR refs 10 minutes to look at it and then call the ref over?

 

Doesn't the Eredivise use thicker lines for offsides? And has that worked better? Maybe @Unbelievable could answer this. 

 

Beautiful non-goal nonetheless.

 

No idea :lol:

 

One thing I do know though is that over here referees have to face the press after the game and often even get to comment on footage they are shown in front of the camera’s. Think it’s a good idea to introduce the same in the PL, where the refs are far too protected from scrutiny.
