If that’s not a goal because the keeper could have dived. It’s like saying that’s not a goal coz you could have tackled the scorer but choose not to. I thought it was a shocker. If the keeper had dived and made contact I get it. But he didn’t.

He did appear to be influenced / distracted by the offside player though. Does that make him active?

 

[clubchamp98]

Because if the VAR says the Dutch player interfered with the Keeper, then it’s a straight offside/onside decision and I’ve never seen a Ref check an Offside decision on the monitor.

Why take so long then as he’s clearly in an offside position.
The decision is is he interfering.

Like you I’m guessing, but if the Dutch player moved out of the way of the ball then he’s active.

If his movement obstructed the keeper, then again he’s active.

I thought it was a goal, just trying to workout why it looks like it was given as Offside.

Maybe they were deciding if he was active by his movements, if he’d of stood still would it of made a diference?

 

[Swango1980]

Well let’s be honest he had plenty of time to go and have a look for himself, he’s the ref .
VAR reffing the game as that’s a subjective decision.

It's up to VAR to tell ref he needs to make a subjective decision. If they simply say "offside is correct call", what should Taylor do? Say, "I'm not sure I believe you or my linesman, let me have a look"

Wow, Rooney has added a couple of lbs!

He’s retired now,had to manage his weight probably from early teens

Why not as most think it was harsh.
It took so long.
If a goal is dubious just let the onfield ref make the decision.

Can’t see how as he moved away from the keeper.
Imo the keeper was wrong footed and knew he couldn’t get there

 

[Pin-seeker]

If anyone is offside (active or not)
Just make it offside.

[Rlburnside]

Yes but why didn’t the ref go have a look on the monitor and make the decision himself.?

Bizzare.

Away from the keeper and the ball, if he stood still would of the ball hit him? If yes, then by moving he’s active.

Yes in the six yd box I agree, but not if your by the corner flag

I have seen players in offside positions jump up and spread legs so the ball dosnt hit them still given.

Taylor didn't do a poll to gauge what the public thought of the decision.

The linesman gave it offside, so that was their decision. The VAR then checked. Took a long time, but at end they agreed it was offside.

So, who would be telling Taylor it was a dubious call?

 

[Swango1980]

That's fine if they didn't influence the opponent

I said I thought it was a goal, just trying to understand why they disallowed it.

Some are saying it took too long to make a decision and others wanted the Ref to go to the monitor, which would of took longer.

They have just showed on the tv the keepers wrong footed and just can’t get to that.

He does what every keeper does in this situation ,arm goes up for offside they do it automatically now.

 

[nickjdavis]

My opinion is that the goal was correctly disallowed. Striker is stood just a couple of feet to the left of the keeper, the shot goes to the keepers left, the presence of the striker prevents the keeper from making an attempt to get to the ball....the striker is therefore clearly interfering with play.

They also said they could see why it was disallowed and it was a subjective decision.

Anywhere in the opposition half,keep it nice & simple
