The linesman put his flag up, so without var it wouldn't have counted anyway.
They need to change the rule to where the feet are.

I'm far more bothered about the pen than the offside due to fact he put his flag up. As I've said before, I don't think VAR should be looking so closely at offsides and it should be clear and obvious only, and as the lino flagged it I'm a bit meh about it.
The penalty was a complete joke though.
The reason given is that it came off his thigh first and apparently they’d said that shouldn’t count as handball.
Unless you’re Liverpool obvs.
Pretty sure that only counts if accidental. He ****ing saved it ffs. There's not a Villa fan out there who complains if that's given.
I hate to repeat myself but again, this is a big problem with VAR. Football is an imperfect game and the rules were written to that effect, they were never intended to be scrutinised to the letter and ignoring all common sense.
Game's gone.
Oh well. Old Trafford next. I'm sure we'll get a decision or two there.
Yeah I know, it was bollocks, it barely brushed his thigh and he was leaning into the ball with his arm anyway, plus the ball was heading on target. The excuse given was a joke. It was a nailed on penalty.
We didn't want Bruce and have consistently said he's rubbish and we'd prefer pretty much any other established manager. Even when results were good the football was rubbish and we were just lucky most of the time. Been pretty consistent on this to be honest. Media seem to pipe him off for some reason though.
Hes too conservative mate.
Should gave won the Cgampionship and Fa Cup here but his sitting back cost us
Yedlin did that to Messi a few years back. Honestly.
Unlike some Newcastle fans I don't hate the guy, plus I think it often gets overlooked that in our regular starting team we have:
11 Englishmen: Darlow, Lascelles, Lewis, Shelvey, Wilson, Hayden, Gayle
4 of which are local: Dummett, Longstaff x 2, Carroll
and a bunch of other players from UK&Ireland (Clark, Hendricks, Richie, Fraser)
In the main I like the idea of having a local manager, local representation and a core of English players but not if they're Championship standard. It ends up being very conservative, as you say, and he uses them to play 80's/90's football.
