Lets not forget VAR drawing lines on the wrong player at Palace.

Just seen the clip from Martin's presser. https://www.skysports.com/football/video/30998/13265646/russell-martin-pgmol-chief-howard-webb-admitted-that-southamptons-disallowed-goal-against-brighton-shouldve-stood Sounds very much like he's taking a personal conversation with Webb out of...

Gallagher's summary was along the lines of players and pundits are split down the middle, therefore the on field decision should stand. It's what most of us signed up to and goes along with teh "high bar" edict. As you say, if Webb has come out with this decision being a mistake..... Very ...

The second time Webb has bowed to online/media comments against us., on very subjective decisions. Claimed Kavanagh failing to book Pedro for kicking the ball away at Arsenal was a definite yellow. It wasn't. Now claiming that a perfectly reasonable, subjective offside decision was wrong. It...

Wouldn't defending teams just have to stay outside the box to play opponents off?

Ref watch confirmed what most of us already knew.

Which is also correct. He is active and playing from an offside position. The arguments about Whether he could have done something with it making him not interfering, are ridiculous

A fair few online comments calling it "the worst VAR decision ever". The decision was harsh but correct. Not as Harsh as the Ali Mac/Mwepu offside , and nowhere near as bad as the long list of actually incorrect VAR decisions For example Saints being awarded a penalty at the Amex from a...

Russel Martin was making the same mistakes in his BBC interview. Saying that "offside isn't subjective", "well sometimes it is" because obviously he's looking for a subjective call to overrule the offside flag.

Does it matter whether it impacts the outcome? I doubt that level of subjectivity is a factor. i.e. "the keeper would have saved it if he wasn't there."

Thiis! Often when a player knows he is in an offside position , he will raise his hands and jog back into an onside position. Demonstrating to everyone that he should not be considered to be "active". In this case Armstrong is busting a gut to be involved in the attacking movement. The idea...

MotD punditry: Lineker: I agree with Martin. I don't understand this decision. Dublin points out that Armstrong is interfering with play, as it affects Verbruggen's position. Murphy agrees. But they all come down on the side of "We don't want to see goals chalked off for that" TLDR It was...

Yeah the whole sequence starts like a clear argument, then descends into "Waaah! I want the goal to be given!"

Mildly amused by Russel Martin tripping himself up over his explanation why the offside goal should have been given. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/videos/c98e7z0g5y2o Starts off well, then contradicts himself and realises it, then winces when he tries to get back on track and finally...
