shirley under the rules of entering the playing field as a team whether kicked off or not if the goalie wasn't subbed on he has been on illegally all half

Shoulder and half his head.

He was clearly offside and influencing play.

Must have misread the graphic then. The only bit that appeared to be coloured was the arm. Probably my mistake

To think that pillock Wenger wants the tournament every two years.

Is he still living ? about time he had the big needle..

Good god how many pundits are getting a nice holiday from the BBC and ITV?

Yip,and why I don’t celebrate any of our goals until VAR has checked it and game has restarted,it has taken that instant spontaneous reaction to any goal now ..

People say this but every time a goal is scored and they show the crowd everyone seems to be celebrating in exactly the same way as before VAR

I guess the ref had to view the monitor because the VAR crew wanted him to make the 'influencing play in an offside position' decision.

One of the few times this tournament where VAR intervention made sense.

The referee refusing to book Morocco players, on the other hand…

Player was clearly offside and then actively went to the ball, definitely restricted the keeper’s view of the ball, and introduced the possibility of deflecting it from the initial path.

Pretty clearly influenced the ball crossing the goal line, thus should be disallowed.

I disagree, the ball was in view in flight before he got near coutrois so not intefering in my opinipn, and as another ref may have thought the same that is why VAR refered it and let the ref decide.

Yeah to be fair that’s a good point,is it just human nature/reaction when we are so used to celebrating goals over the years,might change over the next number of years with VAR in use ..

Very tight that, especially allowing for margin of error
