Offside judgement (Laporte v Wolves)

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I've never seen lines for a match played at Anfield.

They have a fictitious VAR for the first hour, and then when those bastards have put a shilling in the meter, it clicks in, but lines are extra!

Why would it be different?

Because they excplicitly say in the handball rule chapter: "For the purposes of determining handball offences: arm is defined as.....".

If this was meant to be a general feature of "arm" they should have said it in the beginning. That's why i'm not convinced.

I've not downloaded the pictures so my statement is still true ;-)
and why would I watch more games played at Anfield?

It’s a weird argument to say you’ve never seen lines at Anfield if you also don’t watch games played at Anfield....

And fwiw: the last four games at that shed have been fucking brilliant.

Always said it's not VAR that is the problem it's the stupid rules.

Offside should be as it was meant a player gaining an unfair advantage when attacking, this is majority of the body of the player not a fucking shoulder blade.

Here’s the image they first put up on BT , clearly inside.

There are two types of people: those that can extrapolate from incomplete data.

It seems like you're the second one mate.

But again, if it is for determining a handball offence (ie what can and can’t be used to play the ball) it also HAS to be used for determining offside as only parts of the body that can play the ball are considered.

Did you read the PL article with Chris Foy explaining it?

The blue line is clearly not touching the floor at that point. Look at the length of it in comparison to Laporte’s body.

This is the perspective issue again.

This is what happens when Hendo is allowed the Crayons....madness, total madness:)

Both of those look more onside than last night.

It’s ok entirely possible to be a massive City fan and still remain rational you know.

well where are the lines ? You might get a different feed to us
