It is offside isn't it? He has to move his foot away from the shot which counts as interfering with play? I think?

 

[vcs]

Maybe but I dislike both Man Utd. and VAR

Personally think it should have stood.

 

[Uppercut]

I thought they made the right decision. He was affecting De Gea’s view. I’ve always felt like the benefit of the doubt should go to the keeper in those situations.

We were lucky even before that. Everton were the better team.

The **** is going on in the Bundesliga? Why are rude banners about club owners where the players have decided to draw the line?

 

[Furball]

VAR strikes again!

Quite correctly in this instance. How is a player sat on his arse directly in front of the keeper not offside?

If you have to move your legs to avoid being hit by the ball, then you're interesting with play.

the players? from what i understood taking the players off is a FA/league association decree?

More worrying is it seems to be getting more serious treatment than racist chanting.

We all know boomers can't handle a bit of criticism.

I know it's correct in accordance with the rules, but for me when the ball hits Maguire it changes direction and IMHO that should be a new phase of play. Which would of course make his whereabouts irrelevant.

However, technically VAR got it right. Whether the game really benefits from this sort of thing is another question.

That being said, my only experience with VAR as a fan was away to Watford and it came up trumps for us so can't knock it really.

Strongly disagree with this. I don't think it would improve the game if a slight deflection allowed players to score from positions that were miles offside. But mostly I just react strongly against it because a lot of amateur league teams wrongly think this how the rule stands now and give refs a lot of unwarranted abuse when it comes up.

This is one of those times where VAR has worked exactly as it should have though. It's corrected a clear error.

Sure but for me the whole direction changes when it hits Maguire. It's hardly a slight deflection. But that's just my opinion and it would open up lots of grey I am sure.

Sure, but my view is more on whether we need VAR - or whether it improves the sport.

Goal line technology was sufficient IMO (and outside of play-offs us bottom dwellers don't even have that)

But he's offside when the ball is played by his teammate, and doesn't return to a legitimate position at any point before or after the ball hits Maguire.
What you're suggesting alluded to the offside rule not applying if you make sure to **** your passes off a defender towards a goalhanging striker. (probably part of the 'lots of grey' bit I didn't see until after I posted this but meh)

 

[Furball]

Yeah, as the offside rule stands the fact the ball hits Maguire is irrelevant.

 

[Furball]

Controversial take: Milner's yellow card challenge should be a sin binning.

 

[GIMH]

I did acknowledge this.

Liverpool get over the line but doesn't look like they'll turn over athletico in this form
