Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

It was clear and obvious that he did not interfere and that the player who scored was onside.

Shades of Gylfi being called for obstructing De Geas view whilst laying on the ground. It’s just a bad bad call.

I think this was even more of a goal than that one

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Well that is shady then..
He looked a wrong un that Lino as well.

Yeah, I am labouring to make this point, but I will try once more.

The whole thing with VAR hinges on "clear and obvious" so certain teams get the call on the pitch so it won't be overturned and others don't.

From memory Fulham were involved in a situation where (I think) Tottenham scored really late on and Parker was adamant that the player was interfering with his keeper's eyeline. But, crucially, because the goal was given on the pitch there was nothing VAR could review apart from, foul play, handball, offside.

In short, match officials will go with the big team and VAR is powerless to challenge it. Smaller clubs don't get the ruling on the field and can't hope for intervention.

That actually started that mad run that United ended up on.
Gets forgotten that.

 

[BlueShark]

Notice the linesman giving his bank details over the headset there.

 

[hallamblue]

I don't understand the rules anymore.

Offside standing in front of the keeper. Stupid really he should have got out of the way once he saw where the corner was going.

Second point, sorry mate, I am fuming here, so I've gone full word salad.

That lino goes through the laundry basket whenever he visits other people's houses.

 

[Amokachi1995]

In 1 year they have gone from bragging about winning the league by a landslide to bragging about spawning a last second winner against West Brom which may take them to 4th

Fine by me

Yeah, you're right mate. Good perspective.

 

[LEONARD]

Finally lost for words with them.

Try these out mate.

Scum....................Spawny.................Rats....................Murderers...............Scab FC........................

Can't see from the angle in the clip but is he obstructing his vision?

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

The linesman talking into his headset there "Look, you up there doing VAR, there was nothing wrong with the goal, but, you know......"

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Well if they’d drawn or lost we still could have caught them and potentially got Europa League

We’ll all feel a lot better about that when we lose to Sheff Utd.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Unreal. What is the point?

 

[hallamblue]

Can't see from the angle in the clip but is he obstructing his vision?

Well he's standing in front of him. If your team concedes you would expect that to be disallowed.

VAR is all about maintaining the favouritism towards the bigger sides. Its not about getting better decisions. I warned this at the time and its been exactly like how I expected.
