You can only play someone onside via body parts that can legally score a goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Have some faith in Magic Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Just now, The Master said: The point of the proposed “tolerance” is because the video only moves at 50fps so you can’t tell the precise moment that the ball leaves the foot. A thicker line would account for that. Unfortunately the thicker pundit doesn't understand that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 It's only parts of the body you can play the ball with I think. Why doesn’t Maguire’s arm come into consideration there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 The Premier League is rubbish now.VAR is only hindering the game. Watching the Swansea game the other night was great. 8 goals scored and you never had to worry that one was going to be chocked off. Tonight we've seen VAR disallow a good goal and miss a red card. It's fucking useless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as has been seen numerous times this season, you can play the ball with your arm as a defender and get away with it. It's absolutely fucked the game as a spectator sport since its arrival, as anyone with half a brain could see it would. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The law specifically mentions hands and arms not counting for offside purposes, for both the attacker and defenders (including the goalkeeper). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bernardblack Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 The game is gone. Giroud gets no advantage with his big toe being offside there. Different story if he scores with the foot however Let’s Maguire off being out of position too which no commentator would ever dare mention 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the laws also state you can't volley somebody in the penis. The laws aren't being upheld and the game has actually got worse since VAR's introduction. A massive waste of time, money and energy. Bin the lot of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bernardblack Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I’ve really lost interest in the EPL this year. Unsure if it’s VAR, Liverpool romping it or a combination of both. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s only “worse” because the EPL has decided to make a complete pig’s ear of the implementation. It works perfectly well on the continent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As short as a couple of months ago there was weeks upon weeks of controversy in Germany. Just because it isn't reported on doesn't mean you can say it 'works perfectly'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
