Not blowing for offside.

It is fucking stupid....someone is gonna get injured chasing a ball shouldn't need to.

 

It is ridiculous - may as well do away with linos if they aren't gonna flag obvious offsides.

 

This is the PL's explanation of it.

 

Delaying the flag for offside 

This is new for the 2020/21 Premier League. When an immediate goalscoring opportunity is likely to occur, the assistant referee will keep their flag down if they think there is an offside until the passage of play is completed.

Once a goal is scored or the chance is gone, the assistant will raise the flag to indicate the initial offence.

If a goal is scored, the VAR will review the offside call. This weekend, incidents of a goal being scored and the assistant raising their flag occurred twice. The referee does not need to go to the Referee Review Area (RRA) as the decision is factual.

It bloody wasn’t!

 

 

 

After waiting for that and 48 subsequent competitions to be played out, the linesman finally (and very probably posthumously) raised his flag last Tuesday - and VAR have subsequently named Newcastle as joint FA Cup winners for 1972.

 

It's also been ruled that they were knocked out in the quarter finals of the 1972/73 Cup Winners' Cup by an imaginary Dundee United, who have as a result retrospectively rescinded their participation in the 2010/11 Europa League.

As annoying as it is it’s going to allow more correctly scored goals to stand rather than be cut out with a flag when they were actually on side with a second look.  The Mane flag was comical though as he basically had the ball in the exact position Rashford had it.  He did look offside though.

 

The early whistle in the first half was just typical of the reffing we’ve had this season.  That complete muppet Richards at half time said we were clutching at straws because Lindelof was about to pick it up and lay it back to the keeper.  This cunt gets paid to comment.
