Champions League Quarterfinals

Next year though that’s a handball and the goal is disallowed

I hate nascar and NFL. Thanks anyway. I know what I'm talking about.

Clearly you don't...

I’m not 100% sure he was offside. The angle is poor

Not a great angle but he's clearly offside to me. Not by much though.

Hats off to Spurs for scoring 3 on the road without Kane. Son is criminally under-appreciated.

 

[bluesfan94]

Yeah, I’m only looking at stills from twitter. So I don’t have the best angle perhaps

The replay I saw it was clear. He was a solid foot offside.

I can completely understand why it was missed live though since it was off the deflection and it was an awkward play with the pass back from Erikson.

Perfect situation for VAR.

I love the Tottenham matchup. They have four players Ajax also went on nice runs with, three of them were Ajax youth products. Will be fun.

Depends on the team, different rules depending on the situation.

We talk about the NHL offsides rule..... this feels like the equivalent of if Bailey/Barzal had been called offsides in Nassau

So one SF with underdogs and one with heavyweights. The way it should be IMO.

 

[Venkman]

Craziest game I've seen. Can't think of many like that. Wtf was Eriksen doing? quadruple my arse.

Actually, it’s because the rule is changing. By the current iteration, not a handball

Doubt it. There's gonna need to be a revisitation of the handball rule due to VAR changing the way it's called, but I'd be shocked if a goal like that was called off even considering that. His arm was literally on his body and I'm not certain it even hit it.

Have they finalized the interpretation or are they still tweaking?

Liverpool's biggest challenge these last two years. Up for it.

The rule is apparently changing so that any handball (defined by ball hitting hand/arm) that leads to a goal is no goal.

[Havre]

I hate VAR and still hate it, but how can anyone complain about the decisions?

Even if Llorente did touch the ball with his hand it is a) not an clear mistake and b) not necessarily a handball.

Most important is a). VAR specifically should only change clear mistakes. If the ref doesn’t give the goal live then it shouldn’t have been changed to a goal either.

Just got to say thank you Laporte. Wouldn’t have managed without you.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

One of the better QFs in a while, hoping we get a Barcelona-Ajax in the final

Not sure:
Handball definition changed for goal-scoring situations - Reuters

Poch is a beast.

Well you just showed you don't know the rules and don't know who to support...
