Looks like our stylish and innovative ayatollah seats have inspired the stadium designers.

Am I missing something.? They keep showing the "offside" but the clip is when the challenge is made with the keeper. He wasnt offside when the ball was played?

Was very generous of the Qataris to vacate their seats early so us international fans could admire their fancy stadiums before it gets demolished.

They showed the freeze frame showing the knee of the Ecuador player was clearly offside.

Yeh, but they seemed to stop the freeze-frame when the ball landed on his head not when the FK was taken.

Yes but that freeze frame wasnt when the ball was played. He ran into that position and was yards onside.

Apparently the offside was the player receiving the knockdown not for the initial header. Can’t be arsed checking.

Has Dion Dublin be chosen because he is genial and presents a TV show? It can’t be for his analysis surely. I’m not a football scholar and do like listening to wisdom but good grief this has been painful. admittedly he could explain how the hyperextension may have felt but anyone who’s played any football already knows that even if it was only as a youngster. I’m no fan of the BBC at all these days, but can they not find anybody with an opinion of note?

DD was chosen because of his upcoming series "football stadia under the hammer"

Qatar v Ecuador

Did anyone watch the game?

I missed it but just saw the highlights on BBC iPlayer and can't work out why Ecuador had a goal ruled out for offside. VAR on the replay shows the striker as offside when he plays the ball, not when the ball was played to him.

Anyone know what happened?
