Premier League 2019-2020 we’re off

[Deleted member 15344]

Of course they aren’t. Liverpool with their first league win in almost thirty years approaching, in a notoriously difficult part of the country to attract players to are the biggest draw in world football and will only attract the biggest and best in the world.

I must have missed where someone has said that ?

Why does any player leave a winning team? A big signing on fee, a big increase in salary. If Real offer £400k a week then that player is off. Sad but true.

Fair enough.
But if they just want money they can leave .
Didn’t quite work for Coutino.

VAR strikes again, we’re talking millimetres ffs, it’s killing the game ?

I think all the Chairmen, Owners, managers etc need to call an EGM, this can’t continue, surely ?

 

[Deleted member 1740]

just when you think VAR couldn’t get any worse ??

 

[AmandaJR]

Just a ridiculous decision. VAR is killing the game.

Apparently it was given offside as he judged to have come from an offside position but when the ball is played he’s onside........

I think a hair from his chinny chin chin, or perhaps armpit hair, was in front of the defender.

Well because we don’t know what the decision has been based on, other than offside, we’re guessing that that’s the case and not those stupid lines showing his erect nipple was in front ?

VAR just keeps on ruining the game - I don’t think any fan or player or manager supports it in its current form

 

[Papas1982]

I am still in support of var, but they need to change the rule for offside.

Make it feet versus feet an attackers skill/instinct is being punished now. If they start to even head in the wrong direction they get punished.

They’ve just said he was offside in the build up, but they need to clarify that more, in fact there you go, it’s after or as the ball was passed, so we’re talking stupid millimetres again which isn’t a clear & obvious error by an official, this is sterilising the game beyond enjoyment.

 

[Old Skier]

Never off side, even the officials cant agree why it was disallowed

This is the result of the “rules in black & white” brigade.

I hope the armchair fans are happy with what they’ve got, as match going fan it’s horrible.

How can that technology prove he’s ahead of the centre half when it s from behind the play and not inline? It’s pathetic.

Also, what advantage has he gained from that position?

It’s not their fault that VAR was brought it and is poor

Agree with you lot even though it's saved us. He's never offside there, in the entire history of the game that would have been seen as level with the defender. And it still should be. How can you say the man in the studio stopped it at the right frame as when he played the ball, or drew the line up from the players knee correctly or whatever? Just because we've got the tech doesn't mean you can define it to 1mm. It just needs looking at with the naked eye (on the replay) and say he's either clearly off or he's level. Why can't it be that simple.

They done the majority of the Cry arsing on SM when decisions went against them calling for VAR during the games. Sky have massively pedalled the “ refs need help”, “ a video ref is needed” etc lines.

 

[brendy]

Given there was an awareness that Pukki himself was offside and made efforts to get back onside I think to judge him offside is plain wrong. Something has to change, I'd love to see it modified to count as the trailing edge, if any of the player is on side then it's fair game, if we are to judge by millimetres then it's gone too far, hell why not put a sensor in each players shirt.

 

[davemc1]

I can’t stand var one bit, wish it never came in. It’s too subjective for fouls.

But surely offside is offside and is a matter of fact, just like a ball being 1mm over the line is a goal. I don’t mind it tbh

Define clearly?? ??

Offside is about gaining an advantage, being offside because your shoulder is past the last defender isn’t gaining an advantage.
