[Albion] West Side Linesman

[El Turi]

We've been poor the last 2 games but if VAR had been in place we would have picked up 4 points.

boring but I had to look it up.

from the FA Rules



So, as the foul happened before the 'offside' player had a chance to play the ball then the foul was penalised, in this case as a penalty.

But surely he is ‘active’ because if he wasn’t then you wouldn’t need to try and tackle him

 

[BensGrandad]

As Brian Clough once famously said "If a player isnt influencing play he shouldn't be on the pitch".

Exactly - we've created some of our own problems but without factual mistakes by officials which would have been sorted out by VAR we would be sitting on 18 points which would have been even healthier than the (2 points ahead of the tracker) 15 we have now.

I thought he had already touched the ball before the foul.

The ball rebounded off Kayal and as the ball was heading toward the player, Kayal lunged in and virtually at the same time the ball hit the player. In real time that would have been impossible to spot.

But surely he is ‘active’ because if he wasn’t then you wouldn’t need to try and tackle him

As above.

All should be well next season with VAR except that nothing you mentioned will be covered by VAR. It needs the Officals governing body to be more pro activated to improve the standard of refs and assistants instead of continually backing them when making mistakes.

With VAR the Lino won't flag Gross offside if not certain but wait to see if it matters and let the TV ref decide.

Correct. They are told to play on with tight decisions then review after.

The offside is covered by VAR.

 

[Triggaaar]

The ball cannoned off Kayal to the player

If it cannoned off him, then it's still offside.

and also from the screenshot Duffy appears to be standing right on the goal line

But Matt Ryan isn't. Jesus, learn the rules

You too....

or read the thread....

Offside has been established by the NSC jury but Kayal's tackle nullified the chance of the offside being given.

If the goalie isn't particularly 'active' should he be off?

Its interesting that on Goals On Sunday the debate about the penalty centred around its validity...Kamara thought Kayal was hard done by as he had clearly got the ball first..(his interpretation)

Fair enough

The ball hitting a Brighton player doesnt put the player onside now. I think that having just watched MOTD that the player in the middle played Gross onside although MOTD didnt highlight it.

They didn't highlight it but it was mentioned by the commentator in the replay. I watched MOTD last night & again this morning.

Blimey you are a glutton for punishment. I have been sulking too much to even watch it once

No point in sulking. It doesn't change the result.
My husband was ill yesterday so hadn't seen the game or the highlights. I was sure some of the decisions were wrong, so we watched it this morning. We agreed the lino & ref were illegitimate and felt better after that!
