The Football.....

Offside….

I gave up just before half time, so missed the chat that may have explained it, but who was offside in that attack?

No wonder Ecuador are winning ... its 6 times the population of Qatar.

Remember that the next time England play Scotland.

Not the best second half that first match ... think we'll see more fireworks tomorrow though

A players knee was given as the reason

Wow, that VAR really is pathetic.

 

[Mike_P]

Makes you think VAR is ruled by the UCI

It was the whole leg to be fair……which like it or not, means offside

 

[jowwy]

The whole leg, not just the knee….which means offside, VAR doesnt make the rules, fifa does

 

[Mike_P]

Apologies - I had heard an explanation as being only by a kneecap's length. This is the offical image

which no linesman would have given (except if it was the opposition in the last few minutes at Old Trafford)

Do they though?

From the 2021/22 season, the process was tweaked as part of an adjustment to the implementation of VAR.

Firstly, for marginal offside decisions, after the one-pixel lines are applied, the VAR puts on the thicker broadcast lines and where they overlap, those situations will now be deemed as onside.

Granted, the league are obviously not world football.

It wasnt marginal though……and i believe in the world cup they use a 3d image and not lines, but some one may correct me on that. But it did look that way when bbc showed it back

and again, VAR didnt make that rule, the premier league did within the guidelines of the rules of using var, the same as they have done in other countries were var is used.

Must have been the camera angles then, because it looked miles onside from my couch.

There was only one defender between the ball and the goals, there must be two…….normally the keeper, plus another player. In the case the keeper was past the ball, leaving only one defender between the ball and the players leg, therefore offside. It was shown in 3d after the game and from numerous angles.

 

[Grant Fondo]

Pretty dull 2nd half. Qatar have got two more defeats then they can, .... er, go home.

 

[Mike_P]

Ecuador could end up kicking theselves for not scoring more as goal difference may well be a factor on who advances.

I think they can give the other two a game as well .... interesting group, and big game tomorrow.
