Ref Watch

Says it all when other supporters(including dippers) can't believe the goal was given

Ah, but the ref asked the lino whether Rashers touched or not and the lino sez NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

but the lino flagged for offside, correctly, so the ref over ruled a linesmans call because he .........of fuck it I dont understand footy anymore!

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.

but they will still be written in such a wooly and subjective language that loopholes in these new laws will still exist. These loopholes can then be applied when necessary so that a specific ref can "interpret" them whatever way they please. Tell me I'm wrong! I dare you :)

So how did the referee decide there was no interference without viewing the video.

We can see why PiGMOL and the PL will never agree to refs doing a 'post-match' as managers do. There are so many questions arising out of that one incident that Attwell would still be in front of the camera squirming. Seems pretty logical why he got the gig in the first place, and the Bottler on hand to make sure he didn't give a goal for the ball going a yard wide.

There's little problem with the laws as they are written - it's the fuckin' interpretation that changes week by week, ref by ref, and half by half!

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.

Like Rashford's "accidental handball" goal earlier in the season, has there been another "accidental handball" goal that VAR has refused to disallow?

 

[Damanino]

watch us score an exact same goal very soon only to be checked by VAR and taken away.

Despite having absolutely no way of knowing that he didn’t touch the ball.

At which point the officials and league reps will say “we changed the application of the rule because of your complaint!”

Rinse, repeat.
