penguin Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 No way they’d be getting away with this with fans in the ground there’d be pitch invasions and huge boycotts. They are so **** brazenly corrupt it’s absolutely **** disgusting. If that’s the other way around does anyone think they’d even blink before calling offside? What the **** is the linesman even there for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted January 20, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 20, 2021 You’re offside unless you absolutely shouldn’t be offside. Stay onside, or stray offside if you can’t stay onside. Offside means offside. Stay onside, protect the VAR, save refs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-k Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 No doubt we try this next match and it immediately gets flagged offside 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way lads, guess who the VAR was? Kevin **** Friend. If by Kevin Friend you mean Andy Madley, then yes, you're correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I hope we set up against Newcastle with Ollie Watkins just sat offside, waiting to tackle their defenders. Just constantly, all game. Then, if any offside is ever given, we just walk off and abandon the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 If any team outside of the top 6 does that, it's offside. No question. The league is corrupt and VAR is there to ensure this. It's beneficial to the PL to have a title race this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Not the first time Jon Moss has created such controversy from idiocy. Quote Jon Moss was “misguided” in asking for TV assistance when awarding Tottenham their first penalty at Liverpool but called the decision correctly, the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) has said. The referees’ group took the unusual step of explaining the process behind Harry Kane’s missed penalty at Anfield on Sunday after Moss and his assistant, Edward Smart, were recorded debating the legitimacy of the 85th-minute spot-kick. Kane was in an offside position when collecting Dele Alli’s pass but the Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren sliced the ball into the striker’s path before he was brought down by Loris Karius. Moss was heard on a pitch-side microphone saying: “I have no idea whether Lovren touched the ball to be honest with you. Martin, have you got anything from TV?” He then added: “I’m giving the penalty.” The TV question was to Martin Atkinson but, with VAR not in use in the Premier League, Moss has accepted he was wrong to request outside help via the fourth official.

Admit I’ve gone into it big time kicking off with all the city rocket polishers. Apparently Mings had the ball under control but the exact same incident with Ronaldo, the defender wasn’t controlling it. either way it’s wrong because it’s about a deliberate act to play the ball.

It’s so energy sapping I’ll have to stop myself. Just want to chin every one of them. even the PMOL statement proves they got it wrong. He never ever received the ball from Mings. He tackled him. Anything short of 3-0 v Newcastle and I’ll be livid still. Need to improve our GD beyond the 2-0 loss against the lesser Manchester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Man City benefit again. Match officials seem to be as confused as us lot.....it was already a tough job which has been made tougher with VAR, not easier. Just scrap it and give us our football back please.

villa4europe Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Taking a page from the Tyrone mings criticism that "he should know better" Last night was a tight call that the lino got wrong ultimately proved by VAR, that's what it's there for the baggies need to take a long hard look at themselves, they gave up, stopped playing without a whistle, sawyers in particular (who gave up on everything the lazy bastard) they should know that VAR will review it so just keep playing, I assume that's what the ref knew so let play continue VAR used to rectify a mistake that's very easy to make rather than her using it to do her job for her, got no problem with that Got no issue with what the officials did for that goal, it was all on the baggies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the players are also instructed to play to the whistle not the flag, though it will still require more time to re-train that mindset. Errors on both sides, but ultimately nothing wrong with the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
