How come Akanji isn't classed as interfering with play & therefore offside for man city's 3rd today? He's right in front of the keeper & makes an attempt to play the ball before Gvardiol?

He was onside. Traore playing him on in Lb position
 
McCoist was showing his usual lack of understanding of the rules, obsessed with whether Akanji touched it or not. This being despite the fact, that having tried to play the ball would have made him offside regardless.
 
Premier League clubs are set to hold a vote at their annual general meeting next month on a proposal to abolish the video assistant referee (VAR) system from the start of next season.

VAR has been used in the English top-flight since 2019, helping improve decision making but also generating persistent controversy.


The 2023-24 campaign has featured many contentious incidents, which has heightened the criticism of VAR and led some teams and fans to question the competition’s integrity.

A resolution has now been formally submitted to the Premier League by Wolverhampton Wanderers calling for VAR to be scrapped this summer — and that will trigger a vote when representatives of the 20 clubs assemble for their yearly gathering, in Harrogate on June 6.

A Wolves statement said the move came “after careful consideration and with the utmost respect for the Premier League, (referees body) PGMOL and our fellow competitors.

“There is no blame to be placed — we are all just looking for the best possible outcome for football — and all stakeholders have been working hard to try and make the introduction of additional technology a success.

“However, after five seasons of VAR in the Premier League, it is time for a constructive and critical debate on its future.

“Our position is that the price we are paying for a small increase in accuracy is at odds with the spirit of our game, and as a result we should remove it from the 2024/25 season onwards.”
 
Couldn’t post the link, but on sky sports apparently we have proposed it..

How is PTS claiming that as an exclusive *and simultaneously* tagging in the author of the original work 🤣

It's an Athletic exclusive isn't it (for 5 minutes), not his personally
 
I think it'd be a tight vote if really open, but there's too many reputations and egos entwined for the PL to not try to heavily influence the vote in favour of keeping.

Depends on how much pressure fan groups put on.

VAR or no VAR PGMOL are giving us absolutely fuck all next season
 
If they subconsciously go down the “don’t fuck with us” attitude it’ll pretty obvious.
If we’re continually getting screwed by VAR again then we can always claim we’re being done over by a system we don’t want.
