Ref Watch

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Attwell cannot ref is again this season surely?

He'll get 3 more games IF we complain about him.

Apart from it would have been a foul and therefore probably a red, as the foul would have occurred before the offside.

You're quite correct in that - the ref's whistle is the only divider for a decision, just as it was against Villa (?) when the whistle went before Coutinho let fly.

 

[ancoats]

he dummies and feints to hit the ball

again spot on

if he's not interfering, then just stand still and wave your arms up in the air

Not even sure why there’s a debate about this.
The big nosed **** is clearly offside and more importantly active in the play.
I’ll pretty much guarantee they’ll be some sort statement clearing this up.
By clearing it up I mean so this kind of goal won’t be able to stand in the future, just like it hasn’t in the past.

The LotG will be tightened up by next Thursday to make sure Spurs, the Dippers, the Rags n' the Arse don't suffer a similar fate.

No doubt. A player in an offside position moves to an onside position the laws are changed as with us against Villa, however a player in an offside position is ok.

It’s already been reported that Attwell made the decision with no var intervention

No. The offside offence would have occurred first. Just because there is no immediate flag, it doesn't stop the offside from being the first in the chain of events.

If Akanji had fouled Rashford, it shouldn't have been judged on DOGSO, but on the severity of the foul.

a player in an offside position is moving towards the ball with the intention of playing the ball and is fouled before playing or attempting to play the ball, or challenging an opponent for the ball, the foul is penalised as it has occurred before the offside offence


That's the wording from the law. Unless the whistle had gone, the foul would occur before the offside

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Which is another MASSIVE bugbear of mine. The rules SHOULD NOT CHANGE HALFWAY THROUGH A COMPETITION.

Agree. At least the Carabao is waiting till the semis to introduce VAR! Pity we're out!

Var goes for a brew shocker just as we need them
