Schalke post match thread

Peter Walton’s explanation of the offside rule makes absolutely no sense at all. We see thousands of offsides given from free kicks against players “who haven’t committed an offence yet”. If that’s the trigger then the thousands of offsides given are all wrong.

There's a first time for everything...

MCFC; ruining stats since....

You seriously think the first should have been a penalty and yellow card?

Well according to the set rules it is valid. It's a dumb rule or at least how it's used but the referee had no other option. Ask the referee forum about it.

Good on Pep.
Didn’t quibble with the penalties or claim corruption. Glad he’s not as hysterical as some on here

As I said to @SWP's back in the match thread, the actual decisions aside, the implementation of VAR (and the way it is functioning in practice), is farcical.

There was far too much confusion, delay, and opaqueness in the way the referee handled the incidents and the VAR “assistance”.

Many changes need to be made or it will continue to be maligned, and deservingly so.

It will be maligned until the process becomes completely transparent and audible
