What??
Nope. Read it 7 times now and still makes no sense too me. Might go back to bed.....Not sure what else needs explaining there? It’s why it’s dubbed the sleeve rule (although it’s not in reality as teams could just have longer sleeves!)

Semi automated has a lot of fans but no transparent data out there as to its margin of error. The fact that they have Dias jumping in their images is ludicrous. It clearly doesn’t workWhat concerns me more than us getting shafted is that there’s now cast iron proof that they are fucking about with semi automated offsides and making shit up. As I said in the other thread, if it wasn’t being manipulated then why did it take 4 minutes.
I agree about your post but I'll ask a question (please)The only one I feel strongly about is the Phil one, thought that was a quite obvious reckless challenge.
The handball is a subjective one, think VAR would have gone with whatever had been decided on the pitch.
Their second goal, I didn’t think it was enough for a foul and Donnarumma needed to be stronger. The offside, I haven’t seen enough to be convinced either way if it was offside or not but it’s that close that personally I’ve never been that bothered with those where I don’t think there’s a clear advantage from it. I get that in the world we’re in now though, VAR has changed how people judge offsides and as a consequence, it does have to show that it got it right and they haven’t done that yet either.
It is standard these days to award direct free kicks anywhere on the pitch where the ref feels he needs to slow the game to a stop when the same incident wouldn't get a one per cent sniff were it to happen in the area. Refereeing is an art - how to manipulate the LotG and still provide, for the gullible, a cogent explanation as to why black is white and white is black, offside one week, onside the next, handball inside the area no, outside the area yes, and sky blue can just fuck off!I was in a Newcastle players box yesterday. I was the only City fan in with 9 Geordies. 9 of us thought it was a definite penalty. 7 of us thought it was offside for the winner.
The Schar tackle happens any other place on the pitch you're looking at a possible red card imo

How could Donna be stronger ? If you are setting yourself to possibly jump for a ball coming towards you, a shove in the back knocks you forward, so away from the ball and affects your balance and reaction. If Donna stood firm awaiting a possible push, how can he then jump ?
The Grealish handballJust like the goalie handball that so influenced the cup final.
Just like the Rashford offside
It's got to be corruption - what other explanation is there?
That was how I felt during the game. We were shit anyway, I’m not disputing that, but the least you should be able to expect is a level playing field from the officials.It just chips away at your belief in the game
It's a good effort. ;)Ok I’ll try again! The offside line isn’t directly down to the ground from the armpit. It’s from the part of the arm that’s directly in line with the bottom of the armpit when in a standing position and then down, so about 4 or 5 inches down from the shoulder. When someone is side on like Dias is and also has his arm up, it can make a fair difference, particularly with the margins that are dealt with nowadays.
I’ve not seen it drawn down in the correct position yet.
If it happened anywhere else on the pitch the ref would of stopped play immediately and given us a free kick, whilst dealing with ScharI was in a Newcastle players box yesterday.

Wait til we play Leeds next week and we get penalised for a similar incident in the penalty area .If PiGMOL don't come out and say they at least got the "tackle" on Foden wrong then they've just given license for leg breaking challenges to occur which won't be penalised as long as the shot was taken.
It's also comparable to if a player is rounding the keeper but takes a heavy touch because of an impending challenge which heads out of play. Is it still a penalty if the keeper still wipes the player out afterwards?
Exactly. It took four minutes to work out how to accidently on purpose prepare an image with the line drawn down from the wrong part of Dias' arm to vindicate an offside that never was. It was obvious they were trying to engineer a preferred outcome after about 20 seconds and I'd have bet a pound to a piece of shit at that point that they'd allow the goal to stand......which of course they duly did.The bit that is still not being legitimised is IF it wasn’t corrupt/manipulated then why did it take 4 minutes? The only time there is a delay is when multiple bodies and body parts in the way, there was ZERO other than Dias and BrunoG’s foot so it should have been instantaneous. It wasn’t, because it was being fudged.
