Question re: VAR
So...heres the thing...VAR needed a micrometer today (again) to determine Roberts was offside... now considering that the pass came from the other end of the pitch how the hell can that linesman be watching for when the ball is kicked (released) to calling Roberts offside when vAR as I said, needed the micrometer and 3 minutes to work it out?...Its getting absolutely ridiculous.

Re: Question re: VAR
It looked offside and from his body language Bamford knew it too

Re: Question re: VAR
I didn't see the replay and am trying to find the highlight but everyone cuts disallowed goals out it seems for some reason. Must have been very closeSmudge3920 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 13, 2021 11:37 pm Really...was there a big gap which was obvious then?.... as I missed that

Re: Question re: VAR
Bamford was given offside, everyone acted like it was offside, including Bamford

Re: Question re: VAR
They only showed one replay and it looked clearly offside, but sometimes camera angles make positions look very different to a 90 degree camera angle, so it may have been closer than it looked in that replay.Smudge3920 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 13, 2021 11:37 pm Really...was there a big gap which was obvious then?.... as I missed that

Re: Question re: VAR
Bamford was offside, it looked like it in real time but it was closer than it looked. No doubt that Roberts was well on side when Bamford passed to him.

Re: Question re: VAR
I like that Beckford slated the crooked line that was drawn to Costa's knee ...."My kid could have done better" or some such.
