FA Cup Semi Final | Coventry City v United

Don’t talk shite. It was offside. Other end it’s offside. If they wanted them though, Coventry wouldn’t have been given a pen in the dying minutes.

As for jammy, what have they won in that decade? They’re shit.
Bollocks, off side ffs. That is not clear and obvious, not even clear from the lines drawn.
If it was given no one bats an eye lid!

Off side if VAR wants it to be.

Handballs and off side calls after a goal scored are completely different calls.

They are Jammy as Fuck, scraping results every season. I know they are shit and a bottom half side yet fudge top 6 every year with dubious officiating every fucking week.
 
Didn't watch this but did watch the dippers game, goal scored and VAR decided it was so tight that they stayed with the on field decision - benefited the dippers obviously.
Whereas in the FA Cup decision benefitted Yernitid. Usual shit reffing, but orders being followed for reds shirts everywhere.

Go on any other forum and they the same about us. We pay officials, have PGMOL on our payroll etc etc. That’s fans crappy views.

This though, it was offside. And the point still stands, that the cov pen in the dying minutes of a huge semi final could have been dismissed if they wanted United to go through. The paranoia is rife and, in the main, wrong
 
It wouldn’t clear anything up. You’re just moving the issue further up the field. Would still be as many marginal calls as there are now.
Yes, it might just move the line that we will argue about, but it will create a definite advantage to the attacker. It will force defenders to be truly be goal-side and not play an offside trap, whilst not catching a very marginal offside like today. Also, it’s far more likely that the AR would put their flag up, under that change.

What does your mate @Pigeonho think ?
 
Just looked up the var rules for offside and saw the following in an espn guide.

When the blue and red lines touch then the player should be declared onside. The red and blue are so close they’re almost making purple. Certainly no grass between them.

Interesting there’s a 5cm buffer in favour of the attacking player according to the ESPN var offside guide.

Maybe this page is out of date and someone more up on the laws can put me right, or maybe the refs don’t know what they are doing or, far worse, do.

“If the line for the attacker and defender overlap, this is now considered to be too close and the attacking player will be judged onside -- no matter if the linesman raised his flag.

Now when it is so close the lines would touch, a single green "onside" image is broadcast.
Present technology means it cannot be 100%, which is one of the reasons a tolerance level, or margin of error, has been added. This gives the attacking player around 5cm.”

This did mention how the above would have helped 19 offside goals to have been given in the 2020-2021 season so perhaps they’ve tweaked things a since then?
