Premier League 2021/22

Love it, first glance I thought onside due to the random foot in the background but then you think there has to be two players between Martinelli & the goal (plus it’s Arsenal) so clear offside

Why

He dived for a penalty and then dived, feigning injury whilst Utd went on the counter trying to get the play pulled back.

This is why I'm not a fan of proposed time limits for VAR because sometimes you get really weird situations and they need to make sure they don't make an error because they're trying to rush.

The foot is the goalkeeper's but yeah it that had been Cucurella's the goal might maybe have stood. I understand why that decision took time

I've never seen anything more conclusive in my life...

I don't know where this post best sits, but just wanted to express how glad that we didn't get Graeme Potter as our manager. His brand of sideways football is unbearably boring. If the Woolwich equalise then they will go on to win as we all know Brighton will not score two goals or more, they're more concerned about getting 20 sideways and backward passes in. ?

Thought it was a pretty cut and dry offside tbh. It was obvious from the direction of the ball the Arsenal player got the last touch and Martinelli was clearly offside. There's been plenty of offside decisions given for much tighter calls in much less time with dodgy lines. The decision was ultimately correct which is what's most important IMO rather than the speed of which the decision is reached.

But this was a much trickier situation on where to place the line for the 2nd to last opponent. But once it was placed, it's not even one of the ten closest of the season.

It would annoy me if I was an arsenal fan that theyve let their seats fade so much that theyre now pink. I hope we never allow ours to get like that.

Wow when Southampton are bad they really do stink out the league and place

Would be weird if our navy blue seats turn pink

That's a stone wall dive.

Thought Chelsea may have gone a bit easier this half and saved energy for Madrid.

I'm a referee. Situations like that are interesting to me. Sorry to distract you from your thread.

I expect Troopz's kid learned a few new swear words today after that VAR call

 

[mark87]

Are Southampton even playing any outfield players?
