If you are actually interested in an opinion of why that might appear so, the ESPN guy addressed it today.

Bollocks.

Barcelona’s past payments to referees’ chief cast dark cloud over La Liga | Sid Lowe

Questions abound after revelations that José María Enríquez Negreira, the former referee, was paid €7m by Barcelona

this is a pretty incredible story and looks to be true. it begs the question how many PiGMOL refs are getting consultancy payments from cartel clubs.

This bollocks is a smoke screen for the real injustice of that rag not getting a red from the same corrupt twat who awarded them cunts a completely illegitimate goal in the derby.

It would be interesting to see detail about a lot of payments to consultants & who they are. Imagine a payment to Panja industries just as leaks were appearing.

Well it’s not a very good smokescreen as it follows a very lengthy review of the non sending off incident in the same game.

Bollocks.

I think it's bollocks too. Do they count the nearest part of an attacker with which he can score a goal, and the same for the defender with which he can stop a goal, 'cos that fellah mentions the defender's arm, which no matter that it might be nearer the goal line he can' use it to stop a goal, so yeah, it's all bollocks.

I remember before VAR a ref (moss?) getting caught on camera saying "what does the TV say"? Or something like that before sending off a scouser.

From memory they said he was confused and there was no TV. If they lie about that, it's not a big stretch that they lie about anything to do with the way they operate.

The issue I have with that explanation is the grass cut lines are actually a good indicator the defender is closer than Rashford to the upfield cut line there for he’s offside

Simple & obvious.

The upper part of the arm, defined as above the part of the arm that is level with the bottom of the armpit is part of the body that can be used to score a goal.
