Easy win, never in doubt.

 

[AB13]

How can you let United win on a massive huge super clear and obvious offside?

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Soooo, how was that goal allowed by VAR guys??????

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Looked onside tbh

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Even the commentators said it was a clear as day offside.....(in the match what i was watching)

The camera angle deceived. He was just onside.

 

[hatterson]

It looked offside, but it was obviously checked by VAR.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Weird,,,... because they didn't even show the VAR slow motions, from various angles.

It was not clear as day that much was obvious lol.

This is offside

 

[koyvoo]

Huge win for Newcastle at Elland Road

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Sooo, VAR is as reliable as the people looking at those videos.....
How about create a computer program to look at those situations instead.

 

[bluesfan94]

Newcastle knocks off Leeds, just proving that all lower table sides should just throw numbers forward a la Leeds or whatever

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Glad that call stands. Forget the centimetres calls. Id rather have the emotions. Well done by VAR

 

[Jussi]

This is offside

No it isn't. The defender's foot plays Cavani onside.

Viasat Sweden's studio apparently had the lines and according to them it was onside.

 

[hatterson]

This is offside

Obviously it isn’t or VAR would have called it back.

 

[Jussi]

Shoulder doesn't matter on offside calls this season, it's the armpit that matters.

 

[Jussi]

"The hands and arms of all players, including the goalkeepers, are not considered. For the purposes of determining offside, the upper boundary of the arm is in line with the bottom of the armpit," the IFAB report states.

What an awful game. Two awful teams really.

Also two weeks in a row a player got hit by a bottle and HFboards posters comment less than when the same happened in L1

Look at the number of posts in this thread. Not many people watched these games, period.

Correct. I mean duh @Evilo , Premiership is a farmer’s league.

Wish they had done the same during Spurs - Southampton

Agreed and not just because I am a United fan. I complained about Kane being 1 pixel offside against Southampton too.

There are SO MANY variables that add uncertainties to these VAR calls - having to draw the lines at an angle, the camera not being in line with the last defender, which frame is chosen for the ball being "played", where they draw the lines for the attackers armpit etc etc etc.

And still they continue to apply ZERO margin for error and draw the lines 1 pixel wide. Compare to the Hawkeye system in cricket for LBW where they have an "umpires call" rule if the computer decides the decision is "wrong" by less than the allowed margin (in this case, half a balls width).

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Feels like this game is being played in a museum. Zzzz

 

[Mount Suribachi]

Just seen Traore had a goal disallowed because his toes were offside. Thankfully it didn't affect the result.
