Not blowing for offside.

[Code 983]

This is really starting to annoy the fuck out of me. Why do they do it, and what is the fuckin point?

 

The one time today with Rashford involved is obe of the most ridulous things Ive seen.

 

any GIFs?

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.

Sounds kinky.

It's wank. Just like VAR.

The Radford one was fucking dreadful. They only blew for offiside once the play broke down and we countered. Total bollocks

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the quarter finals of the 1972/73 Cup Winners' Cup by an imaginary Dundee United, who have as a result retrospectively rescinded their participation in the 2010/11 Europa League.

... and AEK Athens are considering an appeal to restore their 2-1 aggregate victory over the Tangerines at the play-off stage.

It's the inconsistency. I'm sure Mane got flagged instantly in the first half.

 

It's shite because sooner or later someone is going to get injured in a last ditch tackle which is wholly unnecessary as it's an offside.

I’m more pissed off with the ref blowing for half time when it wasn’t half time and we were clean through 

[The Guest 1,914]

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.
