“He’s unlucky to get a yellow card there.”

Camera cuts to Tarkowski being stapled back together.

Why is that a yellow card. I think the ref is reacting to the injury rather than the incident.

 

[Gray]

We do live in a country that loves decision by committee and a long risk discussion around the decision making process. Maybe we need 10 in the VAR box, with a project manager and a Chair......

Put Paula in charge?

Just rid var completely

And Offside!
They should use the 6yard strips of grass as a free zone and give the benefit to the attacker.

Football would be a very different game without offside.

The inconsistency of refereeing decisions drives you crazy. Earlier in the game the ref gave a foul against Luiz outside the area then ignores him doing exactly the same thing in the box.

There was 2 angles for that offside . The first 1 you could see clearly when the player released the ball and he looked miles on if you look at the line of 6 yard box as a reference point. The other angle in which they gave the offside looked off but didn’t show him releasing the ball , it’s a complete farce.

This is what’s confusing me, the pass goes to Bailey so not like there was a question on interfering. They must have been checking something else but without audio we will probably never know what.

I’ve said it before and don’t want to sound like a broken record but I think within five years offsides will be decided instantaneously by a “virtual linesman” and the only thing referees will need to go back on is whether players are interfering (which only matters in a small number of cases). They have to prioritise working on that because the number of goals ruined by late offside calls at the moment is too high.

They just showed a wide angle at the point the ball was released and he was well offside.

Yes, it would be exciting again..
