Match Day Thread Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

Looked a dive to me. Engineered the contact and fell in the most unnatural way imaginable.

 

And, had lost control of the ball.

 

Ah **** off with the injuries BS.

If not for our injured players we'd be even further ahead of them.

 

tjey are just not **** like.you.lot.

 

'Arry is so comfortable diving he can cross his feet and look for a nice soft spot before landing.

meh,

he's English and getting an mbe soon.

he doesn't cheat

 

6 points is an ocean when you're at the top and have only dropped 9 points all season

Man Utd wouldn't know the feeling, dropping 6 points is a just a big week's work when you've already thrown away 25 points, every single one of them to a squad that cost less than yours

 

Dive #confirmed by that pose

I can't believe sarri thinks it's offside cos lino flagged.

it's a very tight call and the angles available have to be used and he's barely in line.

as for the dive. kane seems to be desperate to

or his legs were knocked into that exact position by keepers foul.

this is like Hennessey's Nazi salute.

it might look like a complete dive but the 1000 shots taken and they just happened to select the one that looks most dodgy.

fake news as trump would say

 

I didn't see the incident, but if it was tight the linesman is not supposed to flag with VAR as it will make players stop and assume it's offside.

 

I saw the thing and the lines on pitch were that close.

lino flagged when kane got ball like he is supposed to.

kane kicked ball out of play then went down.

if keeper didn't touch him then there would be no var.

how can a lino decide when to flag then?

lino doesn't flag til kane gets ball then he flags so the argument Chelsea players stopped it stupid imo.

the decision is so tight even on var you are arguing body parts over a line... thus imo we have highlighted a flaw in system compared to cricket.

imo.... just imo.. if the lino flags that is an infield decision and var has to conclusively prove that it's not right. in this case its so marginal that yoy could stick with linesmans on field decision per cricket on lbw.

 

shouldn't flag anyway if using var.

what happens if other way round and he flags and they are not offside? play has already stopped and attacking team gets stitched of an opportunity.

 

I didn't know that. Sarri said his players were affected by the linesman as they were sure Kane was offside and the linesman stopped. Perhaps because he thought so too but wasn't allowed to flag. A real mess all round. And then there's Harry......

 

imo question should be any reason to award penalty.... then you look at offside and pen contact.

the reason being ref has a pen shout to deal.with and that's only reason var is used.

this question then puts onus on system to conclusively prove kane is not offside... the default position is then it was offside due to on field decision

ref.

where does that stop then?

what we are saying is stop? let ball in net? as only a few things trigger var. a goal. a pen. a red card. mistaken identity.

lino has to flag when whoever gets ball. in this case the getting ball and keeper throwing himself at kane are almost the same.time.

does lino now have to judge this before deciding to flag?


this is a recipe for abdication of responsibility to technology

 

but the incident went to var anyway, so why is the linesman interfering or not interfering in first place?

 

Cos its his job to flag offside.

How is he supposed to know there's going to be a penalty given in a second.

9/10 lino flags when man gets ball in offside position and theres no goal.

The only time VAR will be used is if a goal is scored or a penalty is possiblity.

So are we changing the rules such that if a through ball is played.... but cos its played wide into a full back channel the linesman flags but if the through ball is down the middle he can't flag?

AND now we are into highly dangerous territory cos is lino fails to flag a clearly offside player and he runs in and scores and then ref just refuses to VAR call and gives goal (and he can) then the lino who knows a goal is offside can do nowt.

The rules must be crystal clear.

The very minimum imo is the Lino must flag offside after whistle is blown and hold flag until ref deals with it. We cannot have linos not flag.

So for kane decision.

lino lets play continue until ref blows whistle for pen then flags?

seems bad rule

OR lino flags offside and all must play whistle and that is clear rule.

 

"OR lino flags offside and all must play whistle and that is clear rule."

you are just waffling and complicating it for no reason.

if decisions go to var then the linesman does not need to interfere, if he gets an offside wrong saying off when they wasn't, its tough **** too late by then.

 

PGMOL are intent on making VAR fail so their authority to determine the result of a game is protected

VAR should just be a 5th official constantly looking at video feeds and providing ongoing information to the ref, not this stop and look at 10 replays and still get the decision wrong garbage
