Today's Football 2018-19 Season

[Wat Tyler]

Pep must’ve felt a beaut after his celebrations there u know, that’s the main problem with VAR u can end up getting buzzed off by some fellers watching a screen

 

[Moomin]

6-0.

Fact.

You have been saying all season they will implode.

Can't you stick to the far right forums with your nonsence please.

 

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

Why didn't the ref not even double check as well.

Lineker said on BT that if you are offside you are offside, but I thought if an opposition player passes you the ball you are on, I've seen plenty of goals given like that.

What about a backpass when a striker intercepts it or a defender plays it blind back to the keeper and a striker is there?

 

[toffeejack]

Title is Liverpools. Potentially the double too.

Hahaha

 

[ToffeeTim]

Someone explain this offside to me please.

How come we only get to see the clear view of the handball from behind the goal after the var check was over?

Sooner VAR is scrapped the better.

 

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

are you for real? Itl be easy for Barca? lol

We need to pray Messi stays fit, the RS stand no chance if he's involved.

 

[ToffeeTim]

That's handball. Can't fathom how we only got the important view now after the check.

If its not deserved, its not deserved at the end of the day. Rules and laws have been in football from the start, not over exuberant celebrations.

 

[MarkHollis]

Why did this have to be the day one of the most consistent defenders in the league had an absolute mare?

I’m praying to god they don’t win anything it can be all my birthday and Christmas presents forever

 

[Saint Domingo]

Money on him not playing either game.

 

[Furey1878]

City very much undone by VAR there, fair play to Spurs though.

 

[Mozza1987]

Can someone explain to me why that is offside? That ball just hit Silva when a Spurs player passed it back.

 

[jayden28]

Well at least city will win the league now,2 less games to play and can see them romping to the league too.

 

[Seamus Colemole]

I think the rule is if it's touched by a teammate, but in practice it means the teammate actually putting the ball through.

Otherwise, if the rule is the last player who touches the ball counts, then any pass that gets a nick off a defender would mean the striker was onside?

Common sense tells me that Eriksen has played the pass, it's a deflection off the City player and therefore it should be onside because there's no deliberate action from a City player to give an assist.

A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by:

• interfering with play by playing or touching a ball passed or touched by a team-mate or
• interfering with an opponent by:
  • preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision or
  • challenging an opponent for the ball or
  • clearly attempting to play a ball which is close to him when this action impacts on an opponent or
  • making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball

Doesn't have to be deliberate, simply says touched by a team mate.

Incredibly harsh but seems to be the correct decision.
