Has to score

Martinez is an utter cockwomble, but he is an amazing shot stopper.

Yup, that save reminded me of the World Cup final one.

He really needs to be scoring that. You won't get endless chances like that in a game.

Villa players love over reacting and feigning injuries

Yeah; pretty much all fans hate/dislike offside. But if it was scrapped, the game would turn into a "goal hangers' charter". Utilising offside is a skill, like it or not. Having your back line keeping a straight line, along with stepping up at just the right time is an art. As is the ability to spring the offside trap with a perfectly timed run to get on the end of a precise pass.

Yes there is a reason offside exists in football, rugby and a tonne of other sports and it’s because without that structure the games just don’t work as professional spectator sports. They become chaotic free-for-alls which is fine in a 5-a-side but the more players you add the less manageable it becomes.

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

I take it back then . I need to book into spec savers ;)

Have you considered a career as a referee?

I agree with you though, they didn’t show it during the VAR review, only about 10 minutes later. I was also confused by it.

 

[Nellies left peg]

Both teams are cheating play acting fannies. So much for contact competitive sport

Got lucky there Everton, villa carried onnand scored after the ref had blew for the Everton player falling over, would VAR not look at that?
