FA Cup Semi Final | Coventry City v United

[jim tolmies perm]

Its offside if you dont put the line in the right place and/or dont measure from the end of the defenders foot but the middle instead

Also look at the size of his left boot compared to the right...the right is made to look shorter....by someone doctoring the line over the toe end

My heart goes out to Coventry, We've been their before with a last minute goal taken away from us, It's a horrible feeling.

VAR is an absolute joke. He's onside.

Will Onana be suspended for the final? He got 2 yellows today.

I don’t give too fucks in my opinion Coventry were stitched up in that final minute of ET with the goal..
Needs to be called out for what it is
and how the rags continue to benefit from decisions across the league and cups..

It even occurs in the draws for cup competitions.
Didn't they just go over 2 yrs getting drawn at home in cup draws?
There's alot of murky shit happening behind the scenes in English football.
It's no wonder they don't want an outside regulator snooping about

Simple answer is to have automated offside not some blind/bent/bias/bribable person running it, then it’s quick and acceptable to fans.

* blind/bent/bias/bribable (delete as needed)

It still wouldn’t be 100% accurate as it still relies on the frame rate of all the cameras which doesn’t currently exist. Which is why there needs to be a margin for error allowed, and one which is more than a frickin toe

Quite right. Thing to remember is what the offside law was introduced for.
It was brought in to prevent what we used to call ‘goal hanging‘. It was not introduced to try see if a bloke with size 11 feet is marginally closer to the goal that the bloke with size 6’s!
Have never understood why they don’t just say, if ANY part of an attacker is onside, it’s onside. It’d clear all this nonsense up once and for all and would help the assistant referees no end.
Finally, to people who say ‘they’re the rules’, so is the rule saying the keeper should be behind the line until the kick is taken, which was undoubtedly ignored in that shoot out.

Spot-on. And when VAR was brought in, without any consultation with the paying customers, we were told it would only be involved in clear and obvious errors but now it is being used to referee matches. It is a total farce. In fact the entire governance structure of football is not fit for purpose.

Apparently not, the wanker

Is that official?

We never get shown the frame from when the ball is played.

They said it on the commentary. I don’t think he gets any kind of ban which seems ridiculous. What is to stop any keeper doing it? Having to use gamesmanship to get to a final against fucking Coventry. Tragic.
