he didn’t flag offside because it’s the new directive to not flag for offside until the player has a shot etc - it wasn’t because the linesman didn’t see it

because he didn’t have a shot the flag stayed down but they gained a corner

If Utd had scored from that corner then it would have been an embarrassment of the new directive

Was the 'awarding of the corner' the point at which (under the new directive) the linesman should have raised his flag (for VAR review) though?

The linesman doesn't flag for offside once the attack is still under way. However, as soon as the attack is over, the linesman flags for offside, if he thinks it was offside.

There is no way that the linesman thinks it is offside, but then decides not to put his flag up because Utd get a corner rather than score.

then he needs to get himself to specsavers

If he can’t see that then he shouldn’t be in the role - the linesman messed.

Maybe, but it is ridiculously easy when you watch it from a camera tower and look at slow motion replays and stills. A fraction of a second earlier he may have been onside, and linesman may have struggled to see exactly when the pass was played, especially as the guy who passed it was on the other side of the pitch.

Easy for the arm chair fan to be critical. But, I have seen much worse decisions, probably from better officials.

I saw Carra and Neville do a piece a year or so ago with the PL officials, and one of the things they tried was flagging for offside. Not as easy as you'd think

It was that obvious the entire ground was howling for it. Absolute joke of a decision.

Fans know the game & know when a player is that far off. and he was well off.

Keep defending the indefensible if you want, but you're coming across as even more myopic than the assistant referee.

Fans know the game (rules). Officials do not know the game (rules). Yes, you indeed make an intelligent argument.

Red cards should just be given out any time the crowd scream for one.

I never said it wasn't offside. If the official saw all the replays, no doubt they'd think exactly the same. Honestly, you are making the most pointless, idiotic point ever seen on any of these forums. If you feel you need to moan about a non event, so be it, maybe it is all Chelsea fans have to moan about after that game. Not like they can blame the officials for not winning.

Not really. I don't think 36 year old Ronaldo really burns down the wing anymore, He's now a poacher. But I think you know that and are just being obtuse.

?

Not sure the point but it’s about as relevant as bringing in a game from 2 weeks ago - is it because it’s the last time West Ham won in the league ?
 
Heard on the radio this morning on my way to work that Messi is the favourite for the Ballon D'or this evening...

What does Lewandowski have to do to win it? Serious question... Messi has not been the best player in the world this year - its just a stupid joke of an award now if he wins again. Pathetic.
