[Albion] Offside?

[Bozza]

I'm struggling to agree.

Drawn the lines off the wrong player

 

[chickens]

Ferguson yes (not interfering with play), Dunk no.

 

[GingerBeerMan]

Let's just nip some of these comments in the bud.

1) it doesn't need to be a clear and obvious error for an offside. All goals are assessed for offside, clear and obvious only applies to fouls/serious foul play.

2) the line is drawn to the shoulder which is above the elbow.

That being said: f*** this anti-football decision.

Everton’s stadium is too old to use VAR properly as shown by that photo and angle.

I’m surprised it’s not in black and white.

It was marginally offside most likely, probably, could have been.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Drawn it to Dunk’s arm?

 

[KZNSeagull]

Nope.

 

[DanR]

Joke, it's off Dunks little finger. Line also looked bent!

 

[KZNSeagull]

You cannot tell from that picture as you cannot see the ball being kicked. But it is bound to be the correct decision as VAR is great and not run by buffoons at all.

 

[Hotchilidog]

The line should be on the shoulder not the hand. That decision is an utter joke. Goal stealing filth yet again by VAR.

 

[AlbionBro]

Drawn the lines off the wrong player

I totally agree with that.

It’s probably not drawn from his hand. Likely they drew it from a different camera angle to position the line, then flicked back to that one to show where he was in relation to the goal and defenders. Not sure how often it needs to be explained that they don’t just draw a line from a still picture and guess… it’s calibrated via a combination of cameras. We just get to see one still image.

That said, it’s the type of ludicrously tight, bullshit offside decision that only VAR comes up with. A lino with a flag would give the benefit of the doubt in that scenario which is far more in keeping with the spirit of the law.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

They clearly say it should be the shoulder (which is anything above the elbow)……. Super clear right!? But well why draw it off our player’s finger then?

Also that debate alone took more than 4 minutes. So where is the added time?

 

[WhingForPresident]

It just isn't, is it?

They've also been let off with a blatant backpass and Docoure pulling back Veltman then preventing the free kick being taken.

 

[Mustafa II]

I honestly don't know.

But if VAR needs to start f***ing about with lines, then the goal should be given.

The rules need to change. If a decision can't be made by eye then the goal should stand.

 

[Napper]

Total nonsense that .

Be easier if was drawn on front or back foot

The line should be drawn from the black stripe on Dunk’s left shoulder. It looks to be drawn a lot further forward than that.

I think they would say the line is drawn down from the edge of the "t-shirt line" as it looks like it would meet the edge of the black part of Dunk's sleeve.
