GWT: PL Matchweek 26 - Zack Snyder Extended Cut

[hatterson]

While according to the rules that shouldn't count, none of us thought that VAR would be used to disallow offside goals that are offside by that amount.

Based on the shot they showed pretty much his entire foot was offside, which isn’t particularly close.

 

[Blender]

At least that no-goal is the right call based on how the rules are currently (even though VAR isn't capable of that degree of accuracy, which has been an issue all season).

 

[Epictetus]

That's the correct call.

 

[Burner Account]

I have no opinion on the proposed 10cm margin of error, but does that not mean players are allowed to score from offside positions?

 

[Havre]

That was pretty brutal defense by Shaw though. Not really sure I understand having him be the third member of a back three with williams on the outside of him.

He needs Mourinho next to him.

So poor by Shaw.

“Clear and obvious”

At this point why even have a ref... just use var. match will last 3 days but at least we get the “correct” call

We don't have anyone else lol

There is talk about a margin of error because the current technology isn't good enough for the mm precision they are currently using. So there is a lot of discretion in the system currently based on which frame the VAR official decides to stop the footage on.

 

[Aladyyn]

not sure why Pereira gets in instead of Greenwood

Prior to VAR, that's not a goal where public would be upset about, that's my point. There are many more egregious examples pre-VAR that we can point to for why VAR was introduced.

It's the same thing in hockey with offside review, or football with pass interference.

Well. Where does an arm begin etc?

The current system doesn't work either. If they want it to be correct they would need sensors on the body and on the ball. Knowing where body parts are exactly when the ball leaves the player passing the ball.

It's so painfully obvious that AWB is a great fit as an outside CB in a 3 back formation. His skillset is literally perfect for it.

 

[Jussi]

Yup, the concept for VAR is fine. Even how the EPL said they were going to use it was fine. How they have actually used it has been a joke.

I don't understand why they don't let the on pitch ref see the footage.

I don’t disagree that no one was upset at it, but that’s actually the exact type thing they wanted VAR to fix.

It’s a clear an obvious error in that he’s obviously offside.

It’s not a case of being millimeters off or a frame issue.

 

[hatterson]

They’re allowed to, they just basically never choose to for some reason.

We probably just disagree on that being clear and obvious, and that's exactly where the issue is, just like pass interference in NFL.

 

[bluesfan94]

Yeah, I have no issue with the second goal being called back. The first one is silly. Some other offside goals have been silly.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

I don't understand why they don't let the on pitch ref see the footage.

They do in Serie A and la liga. UEFA too. Epl is just bush league. And one of the many reasons it’s barely better than the championship.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

It’s not the worst but definitely not some thing you’d like to see. The worst was the spurs one I think the “knee hairs offside” or was it Norwich vs LFC. Can’t remember.

 

[hatterson]

Looks like de Gea mighta popped his shoulder when he hit the net there.

 

[SSF]

Haha 5 minutes of stoppage time

 

[Cassano]

What a collapse by Chelsea. They're going to let Mourinho and Utd* back into CL next season.

*Utd as in Sheffield Utd.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Chelsea are a train wreck

 

[hatterson]

Fred has had a really good game.

 

[Savant]

What a collapse by Chelsea. They're going to let Mourinho and Utd* back into CL next season.

*Utd as in Sheffield Utd.

Young team with new manager starts hot and then runs out of gas
Tale as old as time
