It’s simple, if you don’t want to be given offside make sure you don’t stand in an offside position near the goal
Ignore the attention seeking ****, there’s page after page of it from him, her, it, all over the forum
Just like the whole football world agreed that Rashford was offside and interfering with play at the swamp 2 years ago, but what did we do, got on with it and won the fucking leagueIt has been widely reacted to by the whole of the football world and the sense I get is that the majority of neutrals and pundits all seem to agree that the goal should have stood. I don't know what has caused you to conclude that it is only the Dippers reacting and that everyone else has concluded that it was ruled out. It might seem that way but that does not appear to be the case from my vantage point.
LOL Light up the candles like them dippers right and have an actual vigil over this. This sort of thing wasn't on my Bingo card but I learned a long time ago about sticks and stones. You know full well that example qualifies as line of vision obstruction whereas the others do not. "But he's 6 ft 4" You've made some vague arguments like this, as if being above a certain height would deny any such obstruction.
The reason why I press the issue in situations like this is that I really do not think you are being fully honest here or seeing this clearly. All I'm trying to do is to enhance your clarity of the situation. You have every right to reject my view of the incident, but it is incumbent upon you to effectively counter my points and make your own coherent arguments that stand up to scrutiny.
Not to mention the Cup Finsl non handball.Should have requested the audio from both,like the Dippers.Now,that would have been interesting !Just like the whole football world agreed that Rashford was offside and interfering with play at the swamp 2 years ago, but what did we do, got on with it and won the fucking league
You don't have a 'vantage point'. You have an opinion, and pretty much everyone thinks it's wrong.It has been widely reacted to by the whole of the football world and the sense I get is that the majority of neutrals and pundits all seem to agree that the goal should have stood. I don't know what has caused you to conclude that it is only the Dippers reacting and that everyone else has concluded that it was ruled out. It might seem that way but that does not appear to be the case from my vantage point.
About 10 past 5...ish.Can anyone confirm what time the minute's silence is today? Don't want to light my candle too early.
I watched Northern Ireland v Slovakia and Greece v Scotland on Friday and Saturday. Bradley looked like that fixture was his level. Robertson still has a good cross on him though but he is slow. Liverpool might find a way to fix their forward line but their defence is beyond repair.
I guess it softens the blow from them getting a pasting !It's the sort of decision that pre-social media no one would even remember let alone be talking about the following week. Liverpool putting in their official complaint is one of the most pathetic spectacles I've seen for ages, worse than Arsenal doing a mural for their set-piece coach, and at least that was from an excited fan.
Yeah, loads. They meet every week to discuss the contentious decisions. It’s just that this one has been highlighted more.Has this Premier League Incident Panel ever made a statement on a decision before? I've never heard of them until now.
Even with all that they only managed to scrape one title, with slot at the helm they are going to go backwards like the rags did overspending on shite and every buy a panic buy as they try to appease their many foreign fans.Their strong point under Klopp was their marauding full backs hitting diagonals to Salah and Mane. They’ve downgraded on replacements for Alexander Arnold who provided the ammo for the front line to thrive. Probably why Salah looks so out of sorts this season.
I think we all know how the neutrals are reacting. I sat next to three "neutrals" in my local on Friday and couldn't help listening in. One was a rag and, as far as I could tell the other two were Preston North End. The conversation started with the rag fan: "I don't care who wins the league as long as its not City, the cheats. I don't mind the scousers at least they are a proper club." Within minutes we had had the full City Bingo card and of course, as it always does, it ended up with casual racism when one said: "You can't trust Arabs can you? Foreign owners have ruined English football" That's what the neutrals in this country (and the media) think, and racism underpins all of it. It is the elephant in the room.It's not.
The three officials who were there, and their boss Howard Webb, all said Robertson was interfering with play as soon as he ducked. If he doesn't duck right in front of the keeper the goal doesn't happen. Then we have a four-day media storm (driven by LFC PR people) and the refs' panel do what they always do....cave in under media pressure. This is known as insitutional bias and it has always operated in favour of LFC and MUFC because they shout the loudest.![]()
VAR Review: Why Van Dijk's Liverpool goal was disallowed, Doku penalty
Liverpool scored an equalizer against Manchester City. But why was it given offside for a player standing in front of the goalkeeper?www.espn.co.uk
"My initial feeling in real time was that this was offside. I was concerned with Robertson's position and action; allowing the goal to stand would have felt uncomfortable -- I'm sure this feeling mirrored that of the officials on pitch in real time."
Not everyone saying it was the wrong decision, like a huge sports network and it's var review column.
