Match of the Day - 2023/24

[hello]

That’s not what he said, he said what I stated. I think he got confused with the Doku goal & the ‘Akanji’ goal.

tbf Murphy gets confused trying to remember how to breathe & talk but unfortunately manages to fluke it a lot.

He’s behind the ball too.

Where's his other leg?

They’re calibrated, so it’ll be a trick of the eye.

Where was this broadcast, was it USA networks? MOTD never showed it.

Not sure, it’s on twitter if you want to look for the source of the picture.

I don’t know how people think this is at all contentious. They showed this during the game with the lines, he’s a good yard behind the ball.

I suspect again, we still have people who don’t understand the fact the ball goes forward is irrelevant.

Why would VAR choose to mendaciously bend the rules to award a goal when Bournemouth are 4-0 down? It would be pointless.

I thought the original pass to the winger was offside, not the cross,shown above.

It was the earlier pass I actually thought was off, but not seen anything, so assume he was onside

I see that, fair enough, that’s my misunderstanding - I was countering the point people were making about the lines not being parallel etc.

I wasn’t at the ground so as AHT posted above I’ve absolutely nothing to go off other than the players reactions as the angles broadcast don’t give any clues.

It’s the ball before that, over the top, man looked a yard off

That’s what I thought, looked off to me, but not seen anything. Which play were they looking at? The original ball to the winger or the cross for the goal?

I think because the ball was a 60 yard pass, by the time our eyes catch up with it, Aarons looks miles offside.

I posted a still above taken from Sky’s highlights that shows none of our players even appealing for offside. That generally means they think it’s on.

Only Ake looks at the assistant after the goal and even that looked more in Hope than expectation.

Yeah I get that, but I was sat directly in line with Aarons and he looked offside to me, but as you said, the ball travelled a long way to him. I’ve not seen anything to conclude either way.
