Yeah, by the VAR rules as they are applied. It’s generally a toe of a boot or the width of a pube. Every rule change made in recent times has been to advantage the attacking side and then they introduce VAR. Personally, I’d draw the line from the player’s chest (or core) as a near enough approximation of centre of gravity.

Oh I agree.
I'd make everything onside unless there's daylight between the attacker and defender.
The one in this game was very clearly offside though.

Viktor Torp, Coventry’s Danish signing in January, is one of my neighbours. He’s a lovely, quiet respectful lad with an equally charming girlfriend. I thought he played a stormer today, and was unlucky to have his winning goal chalked off (****ing VAR). His family (and his girlfriends) came over for the game today, even though he started on the bench. He did them proud. Gutted for him, and even more so at the loss of my chance to tap him up for Cup Final tickets. Balls.


Its much more engaging watching a game when you actually know one of the players, even if it’s only a little.

The whole experience must’ve left you all in a bit of a Torpor.

Every official in football is a fan of one club or another!

I've never heard of a rule that states they have to declare a conflict of interest and excuse themselves if their decisions impact on a rival club.

Anyway, from the last VAR fiasco, aren't there at least two of them checking?

I remember Mason( a known Bolton fan) disallowing Clint's perfectly good goal, when it was between us or them to go down ! Fortunately, that year we escaped but no thanks to that cheating bastard. Its been going on for decades , with or without Var
