Cheerleaders on at half time as well?

The game is just becoming Americanised.

What next, flypasts and singing national anthems?

Is it the Sky Strykers?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

So what is the difference at corners then? Are there going to be pens or FK every corner as this happens all the time!

There’s no defensive wall at corners, so the attacking team don’t have to be 1m away from the defenders.

 

[Blueknows]

I don't know man I thought he was shoved there and obviously led to the goal. But then needs to be the rule every game as well.

Think that's the biggest gripe with most fans , no consistency

It's shit now.
And gets worse every season

The ref made the decision

the ref originally gave the goal...VAR reviewed it

 

[jimharri]

Cucumber is a shithouse, I hope somebody nails him, he’s proper snidey.
Nowt wrong with the freekick.

Apparently, there was. Attackers can't be within one metre of the defensive wall. If that's what the goal was ruled out for, then fair enough.

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

VAR back and even more ridiculous.

Every corner should result in a pen now then.
Corruption in plain sight and legitimised by petty minds with no clue about the game, in a room.

It is literally impossible to commit that offence at a corner.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

The biggest issue that comes from that decision is that fans will have the rulers out for every free kick scored.

 

[blueste41]

No way was he 1 meter away from the wall.

 

[waspish]

That is a foul, you couldn’t do that even before this new holding rule. The ball literally went through the hole the foul created.

Yep can’t understand the moaning he literally man handled the Chelsea player pushes lifts him out the way

 

[Mentis]

Always funny to me when players talk to referees, and their hands are held behind their backs. Like they're holding back from strangling the referee. They're never going to confront the referee physically, so why do it

 

[stan bowles]

No way was he 1 meter away from the wall.

He was in the wall. If that's the rule, then correct decision.

 

[Gray]

No way was he 1 metre away from the wall.

And that is why it was ruled out, correctly.

 

[willipp]

The biggest issue that comes from that decision is that fans will have the rulers out for every free kick scored.

Exactly. They won’t give it consistently and we will see dozens of occasions it’s just ignored. They just pick and choose when to apply the rules.

Like "10-yards-gate" last year. Everything is going to be scrutinised with a microscope now.

 

[HypnoticBlue]

You just know that we’ll fall foul of the 1m rule in a big game.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Exactly. They won’t give it consistently and we will see dozens of occasions it’s just ignored. They just pick and choose when to apply the rules.

To be fair, that was a blatantly obvious encroachment.

You’d hope that it would only be pulled up if it is obvious.

 

[.db.]

As well as the 1m at the wall law, it was an obstruction foul anyway even if that’s not what it was disallowed for.

It wasn’t like Guehi stood his ground and stopped Caiceido standing in the way of the shot, he moved him out of the way impeding him from standing in the way of the shot that went right where Caiceido was stood.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Like "10-yards-gate" last year. Everything is going to be scrutinised with a microscope now.

We’ve not had fans counting the 8 seconds yet, which is slightly surprising.

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Yep can’t understand the moaning he literally man handled the Chelsea player pushes lifts him out the way

That wasn’t what the goal was ruled out for.
