Might be wrong, but no VAR at yesterdays match?
Wonderful.
Wonderful.
And there you go. Took a whole 4 days. Forrest match now, linesman no flag as guy was offside but he wasnt 100%, so no flag. Guy was at least a yard more forward than Alvarez was. But VAR picked it up, goal disallowed.He thought it was offside. It’s very close! He doesn’t have the luxury of the stilled image.
He waited for the move to play out before making his decision known, it was checked and found to be incorrect, so the goal stood.
Where it was done incorrectly was the Cancelo goal at West Brom where the lineswoman flagged too early, but fortunately the ref let it play out and his goal was allowed to stand.
Thats been said a lot and never happened over a few years. While loads of goals have been allowed which would have been disallowed without that instruction. Great decisionWas about to start a new thread on the stupid linesman not putting up is flag for offside straightaway. But probably been discussed on here before.
How aggrieved would one be if our player or any player was on goal and was tackled and broke is leg or worse because of a late flag. Wtf was the pl thinking allowing this to happen?(on my 2nd bottle of Estrella Levante).
Got to say it doesn’t sit right with me that this day and age and of course with VAR review that the linesmen can’t put his flag up straightaway and if there’s doubt VAR looks at it. But to delay the flag for a few seconds after seems a pointless exercise. Why did they decide to do this.Thats been said a lot and never happened over a few years.
