2nd Chelsea goal ruled out as well

A matter of time before someone is sent off

[Howay 12496]

 The Chelsea fans are going to have a meltdown here. Giroud goal ruled out by VAR as his toe was off, they’d also had a prior goal ruled out after Azpilicueta was shoved and then in turn shoved Williams, the push on Azpilicueta was ignored but his shove meant the goal was ruled out.

VAR doesn’t do anything about shit refereeing. It just makes the process slower

liverpool one down after 4 minutes v A Madrid 

[Howmanheyman 33836]

Fucking horrific listening to 'Fletch' and 'Macca' commentating on the Liverpool game. In a fiercely contested field, they're probably THE worst around so much so, that if I discovered a time machine, I'd go back to my mother's old house, find her knitting needles and stick them in my ears.

It'll be interesting to see how the dippers come out second half as they've rarely had to come from behind this season.

[PaddockLad 17646]

Haaland & Sancho are going to win the European Cup for Dortmund. You heard it here first

Every goal he scores is another kick in the balls for Man U fans.

1. Measure offsides from where the players feet are planted. Removes the ridiculous armpit or hovering knee offsides. 

 

2.There should be clear daylight between the 2 VAR lines, otherwise it’s level.

 

Id also be tempted to say you cant be offside if the ball is played backwards, but that happens so rarely it probably isn’t needed. And the first 2 points would have ensured the goal stood last night anyway.

 

The Offside Law was amended in 1990 to stop some of the stupid offside decisions. We’ve gone backwards with it this season 

 

 

 

So effectively a player can be a whole

stride in front of the last man, as long as the back of his heel is in line with the defender.

Not where I was expecting you to to with the knitting needles.  Surely if you had a time machine, there was a better option you could have considered. 

[wykikitoon 20713]

What the actual fuck is changing in the offside law?

 

Quote

IFAB offside law

“A player is in an OFFSIDE position if: Any part of the head, body or feet is in the opponents’ half (excluding the halfway line) and nearer to the opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent.”
 

Wenger offside law

“A player will be deemed ONSIDE if any part of the head, body or feet is level or behind the second-last opponent — even if other parts are in front.”

Absolutely fuck all. 'Even of other parts are in fron'  So basically arms? That's all. 

 

[ewerk 31195]

I don't see how this changes the marginal decisions at all. Though it should make it much easier for attackers.

[wykikitoon 20713]

Just seen the bin dippers score.

No doubt 'Another special night at Anfield' awaits.

Yeah....

 

 

 

The atmosphere last night was ferocious. I'm not saying the scousers can't put a decent show on themselves but I don't think the Athleti players and definitely not their manager will be even a tiny bit intimidated. I hope Athleti shithouse them for 90 glorious minutes

No, it means if any part of your head or legs is onside, you’re given onside. Even if 90% of your body is offside. 

[Ayatollah Hermione 14048]

I’m sure Simeone and co will be intimidated by a bit of a karaoke and silence for 75 minutes while they stifle the game.

[essembeeofsunderland 811]

Before VAR you could be a fraction offside and whatever any new change is,it could still come down to a fraction.

[Kid Dynamite 7169]

Aye, but if you’re a fraction offside along with your entire body I’m not sure anyone would mind. Currently your entire body can be onside apart from your armpit hair and goals are being ruled out weekly.

 

The law was brought in to stop strikers having an unfair advantage. Defenders manipulated the law with the offside trap. It makes sense to swing it back in favour of the strikers. It’s supposed to be entertainment. The more goals the better 

[essembeeofsunderland 811]

I’ve cracked it.

Draw a line across the pitch 30 yards from goal.You can only be offside between the goal line and the 30 yard line if the ball has been kicked from the other half of the field.Brill idea that.
