Ref watch, Gallagher has surpassed himself today. Says the Newcastle goal disallowed by VAR should have been a penalty for the push and not just awarded as a goal due to the Newcastle player fouling the keeper after he was pushed. He's mad, how can you foul someone when you have been pushed into...
Exactly, we can all see he looks offside but where does that line come from? Were they trying to get him inside but failed? Whatever they were doing they have completely guessed a decision which they tell us is a matter of fact until it isn't.
It took over 4 minutes yesterday to determine a close call for offside for a player that didn't touch the ball. The reason given was they had trouble to draw the lines due to the positioning of the cameras in relation to the players. So frankly they guessed with the lines mm away from each other...
No rules as we know in football.
Secondly it was wrong as they admitted after as the on field ref blew for full time with three blows of his whistle. If Brighton had all walked off the pitch they’d be nothing they could have done.
Apart from being rude you’re wrong. If a player is in front of the passer of the ball and the ball goes backwards and the player retreats to get the ball he is offside.
