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

Think he had plenty of time to go look.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 have took longer.
Taylor must be asking himself “ why is this taking so long”
But we’re talking Stuart Atwell here

So not an offside decision then ?

The replay from the broadcast during the game showed a VAR decision as Offside, so the player who inteferred with the keeper was in an Offside position.

Can’t really be both
The offside rule is as bad as the handball rule now.
In the box your off imo.

Yes .. if he was in the far corner coming back on the pitch then not offside

You seem a bit anti Gordon, is that based on him leaving Everton and doing well at Newcastle? Serious question?
I just like to see width as it creates space in the middle which we can take advantage of.
I'd be more inclined to play Gordon with Trippier to be honest.

I agree Gordon on the left.
But that means Foden is out.
Foden is a far better player than Gordon but dosnt fit the current system.
Same as Kane .
But do we sacrifice our best players to make the system work or play a system that suits our best players ?
I can’t belive I’m asking this two games into the tournament!

It’s bad for the striker that’s scored a great goal but a lazy winger is offside on the wing 30 yards away.
Good for the defenders as you know where you stand if he’s off he’s off.
None of this active / inactive crap.
I played under this old system.

Not anti Gordon at all tbh, excellent going forward and if we can keep him wide and supply the ball then great.
I just don’t see how England are currently playing were he fits in, obviously saw more of him at Everton, but living up here in the NE I’ve seen quite a bit as well, he’s not the most reliable tracking back and helping defensively.
I’d be inclined to bring him on when you are 2 up and looking to score more.
Seeing how Southgate has brought Eze on, I also think he’s behind him in the pecking order.

So he was active in an offside position.

You’re talking pre 1970, that’s is over 50 years ago, the game has moved on a lot since then!

That’s Atwells interpretationSo he was active in an offside position.
If Taylor went for a look he might think differently.
But that’s subjective!

I’m aware of that I am just answering Pinseekers post.
It’s not that long ago!
Not sure when it changed though but I played until I was 26 that’s only 40 yrs.
We’d see more goals and more space to play in they just dropped the offside rule completely.

Well that’s on the lazy winger & the striker needs to give him a rocket.
I just think it makes the game simpler.
