Premier League 2019–?

[slartibartfast]

Arse started 2nd half well.
Balls. 1.1

 

[philll]

Boo.

 

[yankspurs]

You cant maul a keeper, pgmol. Just for future reference. Idiots

 

[nailsy]

That looked like a push on the defender.

 

[JCRD]

Arse will win this unfortunately. Brighton should have taken their opportunities

 

[nailsy]

The linesman flagging says it’s not through. Keep your flag down, let VAR do it’s job.

You can understand why it happens occasionally though. Linesmen have gone their whole careers flagging every offside, now all of a sudden they're meant to keep them down in certain situations. Occasionally that instinct to raise them will kick in, especially if they're still officiating in other divisions with different rules.

 

[SE Spurs]

Brighton just gotta hang in there. They'll still get chances the other end.

 

[richard_gleeson]

Brighton actually look like a good side

 

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

How have you missed that, fuck off Brighton

 

[JCRD]

How have you missed that, fuck off Brighton

They remind me of Bournemouth. Good football but flaky as fuck.

 

[philll]

Meh.

Edit - ok, offside. I'm relying on BBC text here, I can't bring myself to watch it.

 

[JCRD]

See flaky

edit: should be offside no?

 

[Sandros Shiny Head]

VAR took its time for the easiest decision ever

 

[Phomesy]

This linesman is watching his career flash before his eyes.

It's okay to flag AFTER the goal has been scored IF you think it was offisde.

It's NOT OKAY to flag when you're not sure and play is continuing.

FFs

 

[slartibartfast]

Thats the sound of gooner hearts breaking.
Delicious.

VAR took its time for the easiest decision ever

The kettle was boiling.

 

[richard_gleeson]

I thought Andre Gomes broke his leg? I'm sure I just saw him in the Brighton team?

 

[WalkerboyUK]

Two prime examples of why the public have no idea what the current rule is/should be.

Newcastle goal - onside but linesman flags for offside.

Arsenal goal - Luiz clearly offside, flag stays down, VAR rules it out.

 

[WalkerboyUK]

Brighton could ship a boat load in this half

 

[Gareth88]

Wouldn't mind putting a bid in for the Brighton right back
