VAR thread 2022/23

[Stephen230]

Why add subjectivity to a rule that was perfectly fine as it was. If you're offside, you're offside. Whether you're "interfering" or not. What was wrong with it? We love to fuck with things that are perfectly fine. Then they don't fix things that truly spoil the game like persistant time wasting, crowding round the ref and throw ins (i fucking hate throw ins).

When was interference not a consideration in judging if a player is offside?

Too true.

Blimey Charlie, the so-called 'powers that be' in charge of the greatest game in the world have messed about with the laws of offside and handball so much these past few years that everyone's confused.

As for 'interference' under the offside law, though, there has always been the understanding, whatever iteration of offside may apply at any given time, that if a player goes for the ball the flag goes up.. except for when:

(a) it's against City
(b) it's at Old Trafford
(c) it's at Anfield
(d) especially if (b) and (c) apply to (a)

And that Arsenal goal at Villa was offside too..

Well i was at Middlesboro when Tiatto scored that goal which was disgracefully disallowed due to Huckerbee being offside but not interfering…. So the old law was an ass….. Im not bitter tho ;)

Rule 742 - "Fuck it it's Man City"

 

[Blue Mist]

Since Webb has become the main man, the rags have shot up the table is that just coincidental

Or you could say that once they were put up for sale their results improved.

 

[Gordyola]

If he thought that Rashford was interfering with play (you said that) then why wasn’t the goal disallowed?

Typo wasn’t

 

[Blue Mist]

Clear and fucking obvious. How Var didn't give a clear handball I don't know, other than they bottled it or worse, corruption. If they bottled it, its corrupt just the same.

Apart from a goal not ruled out and a pen not given I thought the ref/VAR didn't have a bad night.
