I’m fine with that being offside. He absolutely interferes with the play and makes the defender change his play.A lengthy VAR check on a Brentford goal. Question is does a Toney dummy constitute interference in play? Because he was offside, but didn’t get a touch…
And the ref says yes. No goal.
Sorry, still bitter about yesterday. Because if a dummy is being involved in the play, Trinity Rodman’s dummy meant Sophia Smith was no doubt on side…I’m fine with that being offside. He absolutely interferes with the play and makes the defender change his play.
Is losing to Bournemouth the "sacking after losing to Norwich" of the '22-23 season? Or would it be losing to Nottingham?Leicester are down bad.
100%. People online we’re picking this out during the international window, too.Dunno if it’s familiarity or just formation, but Adams seems so incisive with vertical balls on the ground at Leeds and we see it so rarely with the USMNT.
I'm with you - that seemed a stonewall penalty. (And I'm an Arsenal supporter.) Frankly, I thought the first goal looked offside as well.Struggling to understand how Pool didn’t get a penalty. Proximity or not, he blocked a cross with his hand outside of his torso.
VAR has made me not give a shit about offside. If he was a few inches off he wasn’t gaining a material advantage.I'm with you - that seemed a stonewall penalty. (And I'm an Arsenal supporter.) Frankly, I thought the first goal looked offside as well.
He was way onside. There was a second defender lower on the screen keeping him on regardless of the one closest to him.I'm with you - that seemed a stonewall penalty. (And I'm an Arsenal supporter.) Frankly, I thought the first goal looked offside as well.
I'm talking about the initial pass over the halfway line, not the one to Martinelli at the end.He was way onside. There was a second defender lower on the screen keeping him on regardless of the one closest to him.
Which is what I've been saying all along. By the letter of VAR law, that should have been ruled out. (Even if I agree that this sort of persnicketiness should not be pursued after the fact.)Just saw the replay, Saka sure looked off in the buildup to the first goal.
He looked like he was out before he hit the ground. Can't believe they waved him back on so quickly.Not intentional, but holy hell that elbow must hurt.
earlier today Jordan Ayew was flat on his back with the trainer immobilizing his neck. 5 minutes later he was back on with a bandage wrapped around his head. It’s a joke.He looked like he was out before he hit the ground. Can't believe they waved him back on so quickly.
