The Footie Thread

Allison well and truly beating De Gea for abysmal goalkeeping this weekend

Just confirmed it. ?

Remember the Lovren to Kane one ?
It’s been a rule for a long time.
Still a joke.

I thought there was a difference between a defender actively making a pass and accidentally deflecting it ?
Genuinely can't remember why. Could just be age...
Luckily I don't have a dog in the fight in either game, but every time it happens it makes me enjoy footy a little bit less.

It’s about having a “genuine attempt” at the ball - doesn’t seem right though

Still trying to work out which Wolves player was offside on that disallowed goal. Only seem replay once, not seen the VAR still yet

Wolves have been shafted twice. I’m not a Wolves fan.

Twice ? When was the first time

It looked very tight but offside in two phases of the play ?

The Salah goal.

The Salah goal.

He wasn’t offside by the rules of the game ?‍ as puzzling as they are at times when it comes to offside

I can only imagine it was the guy that took the corner, everyone else looked fine.

Perhaps you (or anyone else) could explain why the Wolves player was "offside by the rules of the game".
I'm genuinely not being obtuse, it looked a lot less offside than Salah.

 

[srixon 1]

Just my opinion. We have already gone through this. So if the defender had tried to play the ball but missed it, would Salah have been deemed to be offside? Nobody seems to know anymore how the offside rule works.

The guy who took the corner apparently was offside when the ball went back to him ?‍

 

[hairball_89]

Why is Lenny Henry in the itv studio?

Just checking whether blatant racism is OK on the forum?

key word being apparently as they have zero pictures of it

 

[srixon 1]

So there isn’t enough video evidence so they went with the on field decision. VAR is a crock of ***. Just what is the point if not all the angles are covered.

 

[Swango1980]

Plot gets thicker. VAR didn't have camera angle for Wolves disallowed goal, so just had to assume linesman was correct.

 

[Deleted member 15344]

So they went with the old fashioned way and went with the linesman ?‍

 

[fundy]

Poor old Klippety, is he happy to get the offside decision or angry theyve got to play a replay

 

[fundy]

So they went with the old fashioned way and gave the decision to the big club ?‍

Corrected that for you

 

[Swango1980]

Liverpool were lucky there. Took advantage of today's bizarre interpretation of offside (Salah), and potentially Wolves 3rd goal because VAR can't even have a camera showing the full width of pitch.

Thought Wolves were decent.
