Also shocked that Everton continue to be dirty yard dogs going for leg breakers every other tackle. Richarlison got caught, but Pickford and Allan escaped
I know offsides are objective and everything, but they need to introduce some subjectivity when it comes to goals that are ruled out for the positioning of the arm imo
Biceps, armpits, t-shirts, it's all a nonsense.

I don’t get it. I genuinely don’t get it.
By Oddinho Go To PostOh man, I almost want to laugh I’m so infuriated by the way that game went. I’m so angry I feel like imploding.It sucks, but it is what it is.
Thiago was amazing, Jota is a good spark from the bench, just gotta hope vvd and Allison come back soon
By Fergie Go To PostThey didn't catch Robertson hacking down Allan too.Would like to see a proper replay of that, couldn't tell if Robertson had lost control after being pushed over, or if he felt the push and took the opportunity to stick his studs into Allan's leg
By Hitch Go To PostWould like to see a proper replay of that, couldn't tell if Robertson had lost control after being pushed over, or if he felt the push and took the opportunity to stick his studs into Allan's legHe just kicked out, but it was only ever a yellow
When Havertz wins the league his first season at Chelsea, Sancho will be begging Marina to come pick him up
By n8 dogg Go To PostGenuinely gobsmacked by that decision. Can’t see where he’s offside at all.
Feel for the Pool fans. I’m outraged and I wanted you to lose!
I paused my TV as I had to double check
I think the game needs a bit of margin, some kind of tolerance on these milimetrics offside calls
Something like 3cm offsides should not have the decision changed. If it was given, it's a goal, if it's off, no goal.
Having to kill the emotion of a late winner against major rivals because of an impossible 3cm call is insane

By Vini.lad Go To PostI think the game needs a bit of margin, some kind of tolerance on these milimetrics offside callsThe problem there is you're just moving the line of objectivity. Soon enough someone will be called offside for being 3.5cm offside, and the same conversation will happen.

Just read that the VAR was so concerned by the VVD offside that he didn't bother to check the Pickford challenge, which is stunningly inept.

By Vini.lad Go To PostThought James was absolute trash the whole game. OzilesqueAny attack of note from Everton through him in creation. No idea how you can arrive at such a completely opposing assessment

That is a major issue too. Any kind of bias here and the VAR guy can manipulate so many decisions.
Were they checking offsides at the 2018 World Cup btw? Maybe it's rose-tinted glasses, but I could swear it worked far better there (and in the CL) than it has at any point in the PL
When it comes to offsides there's no good solution to what we don't like about the current system
The only thing that would help is to retrain your players to stand a fraction back from the last man, because there's no benefit of the doubt

VAR should only be used for big calls like pens and fouls.
refs should be given the discretion for everything else.

VAR only overturns the ref for clear and obvious errors. Why isn't the same with offside? Clear and obvious, not manipulting armpits to find a millimetre difference
By Daz Go To PostVAR should only be used for big calls like pens and fouls.Before VAR there were some proper shit offside decisions though. Look at that Spurs goal against you last season where the linesman didn't notice one of your defenders stood about 5 yards further down the pitch than the player who received the pass.

Well past the point where I'd like to see the whole thing binned off. Wanted to see it trialled, and it's presumably caused a huge spike in correct game-changing decisions, but I don't think it's worth it. Especially when fans are back in the stands.
if it's not clear, it should not be rectified by Var
If there is any cam where you can see a part of the body offside, it should be called out
There is absolutely no advantage of one elbow pixel being offside

the problem with var is that it exposes how crap the rules are, they're not meant to be followed this closely.
On the bright side, Thiago is bloody lovely to watch. He's far less risk-averse than I had him down as being.

its why I'm saying keep it for Penalty calls and fouls.
Remember, this started as just goal-line tech to confirm the ball crossed the line or not.
By rerixo Go To Postthe problem with var is that it exposes how crap the rules are, they're not meant to be followed this closely.rixo is unprecedentedly correct in this regard - VAR's interpretation of the off-side rules is not in keeping with the spirit of the offside rule.
It wasn't invented to delineate the length of armpit hairs.
Napoli are truly alive. Pray for Atalanta.
By Yurtlicious Go To Postgreat reaction by Napoli after losing 3-0 in Turin😒
apparently the VAR for the game didn't even check if Pickford's leg breaker was a potential red, this is what I'm saying, VAR isn't the problem it's that it just exposes how truly shit the refs are that can't do their, some would say, extremely easy jobs
This Southampton defence is offensively shit
Thought they might smarten up after Kane ran a clinic on their high back line

offsides ruining the game imo
