Ref Watch

[waspish]

Wonder if any of our players asked referee when he went over to the linesman “was Rashford interfering in the play” that’s a simple question if he says no say “why was Rashford changing the ball for 25 yards” think our team as players in the moment ain’t smart! No good speaking to the referee after the result in the tunnel is it?!

This is the picture without Rashford running between Akanji and the ball of course he's not interfering with play what a fucking joke.

Gonna be an interesting few days for Pigmol, will they row back on the decision & say they got it wrong? Will they hide behind the wording of laws? Or even call it an anomaly in the game & look to close a perceived loophole, my guess is they’ll throw us a biscuit in the Spurs game to shut us up. The guys who were prepared to take on UEFA (pre covid) with flags & demos, was it the 1894 lot? should be mobilising, I for one would donate towards a banner calling out the cheating cunts

It will, but I just cant see them admitting a mistake. too many ex refs stating it was the correct decision.

Will they hide behind the wording of laws?

Without doubt. Big carpet, bigger brush.

As well as the fans mobilising, the Club should accept that the strategy of appeasement has been an abject failure and publicly denounce this cheating for what it is.

watched it again and Akanji at the start plays the offside trap brilliantly, thats when the flag shouldhave gone up. like it did in the first half.

A great image that proves the decision was farcical at best and bent at worst.

The flag did go up.

For the first time in history, a ref over ruled his linesman on an offside he wasn’t in line with lol.

Until the officials are mic'd up like in cricket and rugby and we can hear what's being said and why the decision has been made I will never trust VAR

They’d only scramble the feed when dodgy calls are made. VAR is supposed to be there for blatant miscarriages (which yesterday was) but faced with, linesman calls it off, ref calls it a goal, VAR was never gonna intervene, it would be like the hokey-Kokie and completely undermine the officials, which is wrong, VAR is supposed to be there to ensure the ‘correct’ decision is made eventually, no matter how you get there

 

[Allnightlong]

Probably……but that’s the wrong question, and therein lies the problem, the question he should of asked ( which he could’ve answered Himself given his positioning ) was did he interfere with play in any way

he put his flag up which suggests he thought he interfered by being offside.

How about this picture. Rashford is clearly interfering and influencing play from an offside position
