All this American football style video replay stuff is shit. Also, this stuff about 'deserving' to win or not is bollocks. You win if you score more than the opposition. We were a tenuous decision away from winning.
Because it's irrelevant.Why is no-one in the studio not mentioning the ball going backwards?
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
Isn't the law only about playing the ball forward?No. Direction of ball is not relevant - it’s the position of Kane when the ball is played.
And the touch by the defender has to be intentional- in this case the ball hit the defender. You could argue he tried to play it, but it’s not a certainty.
Because it's irrelevant.
Hoddle trying too hard to be unbiased. It's honestly weird at this stage he never calls it properly for usWhy is no-one in the studio not mentioning the ball going backwards?
True but to me that one tonight the lines didn’t even look offside ? Like not so much clear and obvious but it just wasn’t actually offside ?Not relevant to offsides.
It's either on or off. It's never been about clear and obvious, but people keep bringing it up for some reason
UEFA making sure that it’s all go for the final round in the group for that sweet tv viewership
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.
Well, I am holding out hope based on the last 30 odd minutes and getting fcked by VAR that we might actually manage to show a bit of anger in our next game.Yes, I expect Sporting will do just that.
Doesn’t fit the tactical regiditty. Doesn’t fit the physical profile.Start Gil on the weekend
Does this matter? Serious question. Half the people in this thread obsessing about the direction of the headed pass but the only relevant point is whether Kane is ahead of the ball or notWhy is no-one in the studio not mentioning the ball going backwards?
