Mike Dean on VAR, ffs

 

[levets]

Surely an offside Salah forces the player to try to intercept? Clearly stood offside

 

[Toffeedude]

How on earth is that not given as offside? He only plays the ball because he knows Salah is there hence he's interfering!?

The rule says he is not off, so he is not. However, any other team and that would be offside no doubt.

 

[jimharri]

Played by the defender so unfortunately not

Yep. If the defender hadn't touched the ball while deliberately playing the ball, Salah would have been offside. And ifthe ball had accidentally flicked off the defender, Salah would also have been offside. Same thing that covers the back pass rule.

 

[hammocity]

Surely he was off when it was kicked

Mad rule, if the defender doesn’t make a play it’s off.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

What a miss straight at him

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

That is absolute bollocks. There was a similar one the other day that was chalked off. Was that Liverpool as well.

No fucker understands the rule anymore as they pick and choose when to use it. Fucking farce.

 

[bluethrunthru]

so when the initial cross is made Salah is offside- even by his big toe - flag should go up or VAR should chalk it off but no next phase defender heads it up in the air to an even more offside Salah which plays him on?

 

[Delphinho]

Ait Nouri is terrible
