TenkoDaLuz Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 1 hour ago, BlueStar said: So linesmen nowadays flag just in case - not because they've seen someone is offside, but because they dunno and they feel they might as well let VAR decide. VAR then can't get an angle and doesn't know, so goes back to the decision of the linesman who also doesn't know, ruling out a goal with no evidence of an infraction. I reckon if VAR was active for our match a flag would have gone up for both the offside goals, but as it was it seemed too big a responsibility to be the sole arbiter and rule off the goal ? It is the first time since VAR was introduced that I have seen such a decision. VAR must validate if its an offside or not, and the lines they draw are usually broadcasted for everyone to understand the decision. I want to believe that someone fucked up because they wouldn't deliberately benefit a team so blatantly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
astraguy Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 If var isn't available to everyone in the competition, it shouldn't be allowed at all the fa cup is mainly to help the lower tier's after all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I thought the whole point of having VAR in some FA Cup games and not others was "well we've got it at the PL grounds anyway so might as well use it" but it seems like the usual cameras weren't in operation at Anfield? Unless the cameras never stretch to the corner taker on the near side? I remember something similar happening in a (I think) Juventus game. All very strange.

Danh1 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 People go on about how Newcastle is a one club city and use it to try and knock our support. Yet Cardiff and Leeds are both one club cities, Leeds is a fair bit bigger than Newcastle too. Their numbers aren’t anywhere near ours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Leeds never felt like a football city when I lived there. Rugby and cricket felt just as popular, if not more so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paullow Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 That had been coming. Interesting to see if Cardiff can hold out here. They have a bit longer than we had, and a less raucous stadium / team in poorer form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The local pub I used to drink in on the outskirts of Leeds used to prioritise the Rhinos games over Leeds FC if there was ever a clash between the two. The feeling I always got is that most people actively supported the Rhinos and 'followed' the football club in the same way that I 'follow' Gateshead by checking for their result and maybe going to 1-2 games a season.

If the ball just brushes him then they'd still be offside Aye, i should have been more specific, plays at ball as you say. Be that a good contact or brushes his hair or the end of his foot or whatever body part is stretching for the ball. Still utterly pathetic for it to be onside, but that's where we've ended up.
