Premier League 2019–?

Man City must hate VAR

 

[Sandros Shiny Head]

Surely he was on? Didn't think you could score with your arm?

Technically the shoulder is attached to the top of the arm lol

 

[KILLA_SIN]

Humm this is going to be a much tighter season

 

[Thewobbler]

Offside because of his arm?

 

[nailsy]

You can score with your shoulder.

Armpit. And it was level.

 

[JCRD]

Sorry but i thought clear and obvious and also with the intro of VAR are we now removing the benefit of the doubt to the attacker?

 

[Monkey boy]

Surely the camera angle plays a massive role there?? Every other angle makes it look like sterling was behind him.

 

[TheChosenOne]

Wilshere comes off for Snodgrass
Shocking player

And they had such high hopes for the perma-crock

There’s no clear and obvious for offside, it’s either on or off

 

[wirE]

I think we should pursuit Diop if/when Toby leaves. What a powerhouse he is

 

[mark87]

That's not a yellow card

 

[Gareth88]

Ederson was all over the place there, think his positioning on crosses is his weakness

I agree it seems harsh but if you're going to use it you have to stick to the rules. Or else where do we draw the line? 2mm offside for liverpool or city and it's a goal but the same 2mm from a different ref against us or someone else and people will scream corruption.

They might try to buy VAR in the next TW

Yeah I know - I just find that decision to be really picky but it is what it is

 

[Cornpattbuck]

Felipe Anderson done already.

 

[nailsy]

I know offsides are black and white but ... that doesn't sit right with me.

I agree. Offside was designed to stop goal hanging, not to stop an attacker being an inch ahead of a defender. I'd prefer it if the entire body had to be ahead of the defender to be offside.

Fredericks is the definition of a mediocre rb

 

[JCRD]

Offside but great goal

edit: onside
