I didn’t realise they was no VAR and was waiting for the Manure players to look like twats for the celebration as VAR ruled the goal offside.
The non handball soft ref went with the crowd pathetic.

Seen it again that is almost corrupt. It is so far offside it is unbelievable. He should sacked on the spot.

That's it. It's the sheer numbers that are offside. That's the giveaway

It's inconceivable to me that the lino can't see that. Maguire is as offside as offside can be
Maybe we should have some sort of video assisted rubric?

We could call it VIDARUB!

Four (and possibly five) offside!
Clearly offside. But this is where VAR has its values. It's hard for a linesman to judge the point of which the ball is struck and correlation of the players movements, especially when he doesn't know who is going to score the goal. So it's a clear error, but it's much harder to call these things than it is to publish a damning still from a video.

f*** VAR.
Deserved win for the bigger team.
All is good in the world of football.

Or something.

It's less likely to be corrupt than just further evidence of the sort of big club bias decisions which are regularly given at Old Trafford, Anfield etc. More likely to me due to cowardice and the sub conscious desire for an easy life from the officials. It's highly unlikely they've taken money to let those go

I always ask myself, if that was at the other end, is there any chance whatsoever Leicester get given that goal? No. No chance at all

Oh please. They were 2 yards offside. Protect all you want but FFS that was as obvious as obvious could be. It was a complete shitshow of a decision. You can't protect such a crap decision EVER. f*** me there wasn't a blue shirt in sight

I switched over after watching the Mansfield game. There was more quality in that game.

Fair point. . . at least the linesmen did something, not much granted. they're like lizards in snow now
The thing is, that sort of decision was always rife in the game. It's nothing new and VAR is certainly not responsible for lower officiating standards when it gets switched off.

There are sticks to beat VAR with - notably the delay it involves (which statistically is actually now improving) - but let's not pretend the reasons for it's introduction never existed. It was brought in because games like this were too often being decided by decisions like this. Now those 1200 Leicester fans have to go home pissed off because of officiating incompetence, rather than because their team deserved to be beaten.

All I can think of is that with Maguire being closest to the (blind) Lino, maybe the Lino was concentrating on the 4 other Man U players who were in offside positions if they had played the ball?
