English Premier League 2019-20

Right - howcome when you get a shot off from outside the box and it's saved/goes wide and a tackle comes in and it's a foul you get a free kick but Jimenez just volleyed it wide from like 10 yards and was completely wiped out but it's the defender "done well to get in his eye line" and a goal kick? 


I did wonder how that wasn’t checked either. Wolves worthy of the lead, great finish.

VAR is only as good as the people who operate it, and at the moment they are making a proper baws of it in England.

That Sheffield Utd goal that was disallowed was a shocker. How far do they go back and check in the build up? Not one Spurs player even thinks there is a hint of an offside there.
Regardless of which people are operating it, the technology is not good enough to make a decision that precise.

The margins for offside are too fine really. Is there any clear advantage to having half a foot or a quarter of a shoulder ahead of your opponent ? The defender should be able to deal with that.

Referees and VAR would benefit from the rules being more relaxed and the error being at least half or a full person ahead of the last defender.
