Riiiight Lescott had just explained why it was offside. Made sense.
But where was the 5cm rule for us?
And it would seem the VAR guys didn't know the rules on where to draw the lines.

Wonder where Joleon parked Chitty Chitty Bang Bang :-)

 

[minimalistic]

But Haaland did not score ??? or interfering with the keeper

I’m with you. He’d only be ‘offside’ if he interfered with play or touched the ball.

 

[hilts]

Well done on being only one of 4 people on the planet who thinks it was the correct decision.
You should set up a club.

Micah mensa and remedial Redknapp think it was the right decision

 

[levets]

But if the rule is as he said then he's spot on.

He’s not spot on at all.
Pope not affected, Tiaw not affected, Haaland didnt impede either of them. Pope was nowhere near the cross and Semenyo flicked it in beyond them.

 

[Coatigan]

Lescott has spotted what ref and var missed. The keeper was in front of Haaland so clearly offside. Should have taken 30 seconds to decide that as Haaland was jostling with player so interfering.

Except he is wrong, is he not? Offside isn't judged from where the keeper is. Otherwise no goal would ever really be offside.

And that wasnt what Var were looking at when they were zooming in to see where the shadows if the studs sat. And not where they drew their bullshit lines either.

Newcastle FC have a hater in me for life. Thuggish club that know nothing other than to clatter into players

Eddie Howe talks and walks like a nice guy, but he instructs his players to kick the fuck out of our players every single game. Fuck him.

 

[citytill1die84]

How can Bernie put a performance like that at his age and given the number of games he's played over this season and last yet we say Foden looks tired...

He's 31 ffs not 51

 

[Jesus2020]

Fucking superb Bernie. That’s needed saying in public for bloody years tbh.

Any link? I'm watching on sky sports was this itv?

 

[skillman]

That second half is the best we've played all season.

Rodri

 

[Jimmieblue]

Just when I was saying keep the ball, get in the corner, waste some time the mighty blues produce that pearler.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Big yutes.

 

[Phil1]

Micah mensa and remedial Redknapp think it was the right decision

It's gonna be a wank club then.

 

[steviemc]

But how can you possibly tell at the time the ball was played? At the exact microsecond that it's played? you can't.

Offside is offside, I don't have a problem with that, the problem I have is I don't believe they're capable of calling it when it's as close as that.

Yep. I think if it takes two guys with electronic equipment almost 4 minutes to see if an offence has been comitted, the majority of sensible thinkers will be of the opinion that they're looking too hard to try and justify disallowing a goal.

 

[GSW Blue]

Somebody must have reminded Richards he used to play for us!

 

[N1985]

I’d be tempted to drop the big man when Marmoush gets back. The potential movement in the front 4 with Semenyo, Doku, Cherki and Marmoush is mouth watering.

You don't bench Haaland.

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

That last goal was just stunning

Will be great for Ait-Nouri’s confidence too.

 

[discopop]

Bernie being the kind of skipper tonight that went balls out for the team shows what utter folly it was having Kyle as Captain last season.

Pep has ran the lads legs into bookies pencils but he fucking shows up come what may.

 

[N1985]

Somebody must have reminded Richards he used to play for us!

He's sat next to two half decent blokes with no agenda. These 3 together are pretty good.

 

[Ban-jani]

Somebody must have reminded Richards he used to play for us!

Given up on that tosser.
