The point I was making was that Ali Mac's wouldn't have been picked up by this system if it only operates when the 'ball is received by an attacker who was in an offside position...', nor would the Juventus one, because in neither case was the 'offside' player the one who received the ball. So...

But the most contentious and soul destroying ones (Argie Mac, Sterling in the CL a while back, that Juventus goal the other night) all involved a non-scoring player being offside.

Astonishing. How can they totally miss a player like that??

That's what I thought it said anyway!!

There was a defender behind Mwepu (this still is just as they all start moving, not sure it's relationship with when the ball was kicked).. But why was everything only from one angle - surely they have a camera on the other side which could/would have helped? Having said all we have said, it...

Agreed - but everyone knew that was a foul as well..!

And there you go - the Arsenal goal that was ruled out. It 'felt' like a foul on Erikkson straight away.

I think the thing is, most of us in the crowd or watching on TV know when something is likely to need reviewing or not. That's why we all, still, instinctively glance over at the linesman to see if the flag is up. We know when something feels as though it 'may be offside', we know when...

Not one Leicester player even thought of appealing so far as I can see. And players generally know. The overhead kick attempt had no actual influence on the headed clearance. Frustrating to say the least.

Yes - good point.

You can't be offside if you are behind the ball. Which is why you cannot be offside from a cross from the actual byline. But you can be offside from a ball passed backwards if you were in front of the ball and the second-last opponent at the time it was passed backwards. You can run back from...

No no no. We didn't 'benefit' more than anyone else. This was early days of VAR and many of the 'goals' overruled were so blatantly offside in the first place that pre-VAR they would have been instantly flagged. And some of the other ones we 'benefitted' from were also decisions that were...
