Imagine there’ll be huge debate about the Sheff Utd disallowed goal. Whoever was drawing the lines must have been pissed. In my opinion it wasn’t offside. Feel for Sheff Utd - they’ve been much the better team

Two already this afternoon that have ruled out goals for Burnley and Sheff Utd, both by mm's (and for the Burnley one they appear to have drawn the line after the ball was kicked, not as it was kicked).
Linesmen have not made clear and obvious errors by not giving them, so I don't think VAR should scrutinise at all, just glance that linesmen have not made a glaring mistake and then let the goal stand.
I got no issue with goals being ruled out for offside. I do agree though its not in keeping with what VAR is supposed to be in terms of being clear and obvious.
Something needs to change because it does appear fair that offsides are punished more.
Fair play to Sheffield United, unlike us, they’re giving it a right go at the right time of the season. Get the points in the bank now as a cushion for the, perhaps, rockier times ahead.
Quite right.Quote:

I posted it as it looks off, I read the thread and people seem to think it was a bad call. I saw it flicking through Instagram so posted it to add to the debate. I’ve not seen the incident to make my own judgement.Quote:

To compound it, it appeared that the VAR ref drew a diagonal line from toe to foot 😂Quote:

I’m with Mike - clear and obvious error or it’s a goal
fair point, and I agree with you and Mike on thatQuote:

You can’t score or control the ball with your hand.
Do you dare to suggest that the better teams get the decisions... aka a conspiracy? :yikes:Quote:

VAR. Loved by the managers and the TV companies [who helped bring it in], and despised by the supporters..
VAR didn't think this was a foul in the Leicester v Arsenal game

A foul given everywhere else on the pitch as well.Quote:

Speaking of the Leicester game, a beautifully worked goal for Vardy.
1-0
This is what gets me, thats a foul all over the pitch yet in the box it has to be a murder.Quote:

In the end it's the ref's decision and I don't think there was enough to take the first Sheffield goal away. Also, the offside rule needs to be tweaked. As it is, fatty could be standing behind skinny and still be offside.
