When it comes to the offside rule, the direction of the pass is irrelevent. A ball passed forwards, laterally or even backwards can be offside

I have a feelign they were looking at the wrong thing and not at the ball going backwards, too obsessed with the lines
But what I dont know is if you can be offside ahead of the ball but the ball is played backwards and reboiunds off a fucking defender. I mean it is common sense to say no, but ... ya know, common sense aint so common
Exactly this. So not only did they take an age to make a decision they still got it wrong

But they showed the pic of Emerson and Kane. It has to involved Kane somehow.

I was more than happy to give VAR a go when it came in but this is just the absolute sh*ts. We didn't deserve to win but that's not the point. The rule as I have always understood it is that if the ball is played backwards then it cannot be offside. The header clearly went backwards.
A better second half from us. We pushed up, they sat back and allowed us to have the flanks. If only we'd come out looking to play football at the 8PM. It seems every first half is awful under Conte. I don't know why. There's lots to think about but I don't think a couple of signings are going to fix what's wrong. Conte needs to come up with a different game plan because the one we're playing to is absolutely not working.

If I remember correctly it has to be a deliberate action from the defender for it to then be deemed onside.

I am pretty sure, by the letter of the law, it was offside.
It looked like Var measured Kane with the ball and when it was played Kane was ahead of the ball. That is the definition of offside. The contact with the defender is irrelevant since he did not intentionally play it, and the direction of the ball from Royal is also irrelevant. It where Kane was when the ball was played.

The VAR lines they showed were Emerson heading it back to Kane. Can't see how the fuck that isn't a goal.

Given that the ball arrived at Kanes feet via their defender, that kind of proves Emerson headed the ball backwards and as such Kane cannot have been offside. Unless there is some massively obscure sub-rule that I've missed.

Maybe, but score in the 70 mins prior and you’re not so bothered about a last minute goal being chalked off.

Robbed.
An improved performance in the second half. Gil will be a proper player someday.

Hang on am I losing my mind. Why is the line drawn to Emerson's head?????? If someone scores a goal with their head but their right leg is off it'll get flagged.
The only decision to make was whether Emerson was off from the first ball.
Telling you now that is an absolute var fuck up surely?? Or am I not thinking straight

Indeed. He has to be playing or attempting to play the ball and he wasn't.
But that’s irrelevant as Dier didn’t score it
