How on earth is this 0-0..

If you had to commit a foul to interfere with play, there would be no need for the entire interfering with play part of the law.

But he doesn't interfere. He doesn't interfere with the trajectory of the ball or the battle between VVD and Chilwell. Colwill isn't getting to that ball regardless.

100x better then the previous 0-0 finals between these sides.

You guys on a huge delay

You think this is a direct result of him saying that?

Yep, the correlation is 1.0.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Poch's comments about the refs favouring Liverpool in his presser have clearly worked.

Why couldn't he be this savvy for us?

You too?

The idea that a statement in the media results in this is, quite frankly, fucking ridiculous and beyond any sort of credibility

It's the fact that Endo came from an offside position that ruled the goal out, not the block itself.

He is in a passive offside if he doesn't make the block... he has his back to the goal and doesn't do anything apart from the block... he's not blocking anyones view or going for the ball. He's even alone and is not being covered by a Chelsea-man.

The correlation is ridiculous bullshit

I keep expecting to see a goal (that doesn't get disallowed) after this post

Turns out Liverpool just won the league.

It's like an offside player standing in the line of vision of a keeper, it's not a foul, but he's affecting the play. Even if it's an absolute thunderbolt that the keeper won't be saving regardless..

He's looking straight at him and sets a pick like it's basketball. If it was against anyone else but Chelsea it wouldn't be an issue on here.

My issue is we have opposing players blocking Vic, and refs aren’t giving fouls. Nothing about Chelsea.

Media influence is absolutely a thing and managers play the media to get exactly outcomes like these. Liverpool have got pretty much everything their way since the game at ours, and now someone's called it out they suddenly get two disaster decisions against them in the game immediately afterwards. That's too coincidental.

I wasn't serious with the correlation. Just made an observation that that decision came after his pre-match comments.

 

[cwy21]

That was their chance.

 

[hughy]

Great save Kelleher.

 

[easley91]

That Gallagher chance brought back memories of Zokora.

If you want to complain then send your complaints to FIFA/IFAB. This will be viewed as 100% correctly given for offside within PGMOL. There won't even be a debate. It's an absolute nailed on offside offense in the current laws.

The tactic of an offside player setting a pick has been something refs/VAR have been watching out for the last few seasons.

And there’s the problem in a nutshell. These guys have been ruining the game for years.
