Remember Neves' similar (ish) goal versus Man United? Same end, off a (short corner) BW side, SB end that went in off the bar.With you.
Just had another look, it is simply amazing, BUT HORRIFICALLY if you look closely it was from a corner and we have two players centrally and in the line of sight of the goalie standing in an offside position when he hits it. I am horrified to say that I think a VAR referee would have referred THAT GOAL for review if it had been in the PL and VAR had been in existence.
Leicester?. We fell foul of another like that, NB end, where I think the stud on Jota's heel was offside on a short corner routine.
Yep, for sure. And, I remember for years Real Madrid amongst others getting tap ins for players standing near a goalie in offside positions after he has knocked the ball down in a save. They always used to have a player or two standing as close to the goalie as possible at set pieces.Remember Neves' similar (ish) goal versus Man United?

VAR took ages trying to find a reason to disallow that [possibly great viewing on TV but terrible in the ground] for the ball back to the corner taker (Joao possibly?) to rule the goal offside.

Wow VAR was worse back then, checking if managers are offside is taking it too far.Yes, think they were checking if Mourinho was offside when he received the ball back as part of the short former
If you're offside you're offsideWow VAR was worse back then, checking if managers are offside is taking it too far.
Only works if the line can be synchronised to the SPLIT second the ball is kicked. Otherwise it is open to abuse as the current ststem is.
Nothing to do with cameras this one.Have they updated the cameras to be mm accurate, or is there still the ~30cm margin of error from rate rates?
I prefer Boly's little hand shakeAfobe's reaction is spot on
I'd like Johnny75 to explain why my post amuses him so. The powers that be seem keen to draw lines to the nearest millimetre to rule goals on or offside, but there is no such minute accurate measurement for when the ball is kicked. In fact all the screen focuses on when there is a tight offside decision are the two or more players involved in the back line.Only works if the line can be synchronised to the SPLIT second the ball is kicked.

There have been occasions when the defence is back-pedalling and the attacker is heading back onside (and the other way round) when the film clicks on one frame and the result is different. And on those occasions all they focus on are the players on the line and no accurate measurement of when the ball is kicked.
