Wolves (H) Post Match Thread

[Asa's left peg]

It's getting tedious now, re drawing lines until you get the decision you want. First attempt - line from the shoulder shows him onside. Second drawing of the line, goes from the hand and shows him minutely offside. Is the hand an advantage when you can't score with it (unless your'e a Spurs player obviously)?

people who say we are boring support teams that stick 11 behind the ball on the edge of their own penalty area.if they had some bollocks it would be a lot more exciting especially for us.

And that's the whole reason some of our games are not as exciting as they could be: it's the opponents' tactics that deny the watching public an open game.

City try to play attractive attacking football. Games can be frustrating to watch because the main ambition of the teams playing City is often to frustrate City.

However, if you cannot appreciate and enjoy the pass and move possession game City play, you don't really appreciate good football.

I thought it was the other lino, the blokey looking one

Did she flag for the one at the end or was that just VAR checking?

 

[Vic]

No, was Sian

The disallowed one wasn't.

 

[SWP's back]

The disallowed one wasn't.

No, the over ruled one was. She flagged. Var showed she was wrong as I originally stated so don’t know why you’re trying to correct something I never said.

Both were “disallowed”, var overturned one.

Just seen the Laporte goal. How can something with which a goal can't be scored - his hand - be given offside. It's just arbitrational bollocks.

Wasnt his hand. Was his sleeve line.

This really shows up the flaws of the T Shirt guideline for handball, because Laporte's hand is obstructing the end of the T Shirt line/PL badge they use to determine where the line between arm and shoulder is.

If anything I think he's actually been a tad generous with the line placement, I think he's drawn it closer to Laporte's shoulder than he would have if you could see the whole upper arm clearly.

Anyway it's the right decision as the rules are currently. I suspect they won't be like this for long, I believe the Netherlands are trialling a margin of error that's gone over well.

That would have been given as handball if it hit his arm. It is absurd to use this criteria. They have to use the position of the feet for these decisions.

If it was then it would be incorrect as per the rule change for this season.
