[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs AFC Bournemouth *** Official Match Thread ***

TBF we have gained from VAR but it's getting silly if a player leaning forward is offside even
though his feet are not. Stupid interpretation.

 

[Stephen Seagull]

Even if his hand was slightly further forward I still fail to see the advantage that has been gained.

The rule should be, if you can score with it, you can be offisde with it

Pretty sure that is the rule. That's why they aligh to the armpit (start of chest, end of arm).

Fickle fans slamming our man of the match against the Blades

 

[Nixonator]

Don’t worry some tired old prick will soon be here to inform us all it was the correct decision and what tremendous service it’s doing to our game.

 

[Goberpiles]

Can understand it being offside if he headed it in from the free kick but it was 6-7 phases after when bmouth could not clear the ball.

And "adds to the excitement" - don't forget that bit....

 

[Peteinblack]

At some point someone is going to be ruled off side due to their quiff

Or they've got a semi hard-on...

 

[Farehamseagull]

Nailed on late Bournemouth equaliser. I ****in hate Eddie Howe.

 

[London Irish]

Ali is tiring

 

[Marxo]

Or man boobs

Bloody hell. Another armpit offside and the goal is disallowed. Really hard to get too upset when we had a similar one in our favour on Boxing Day but that could be so costly.

Surely an “umpire’s call” equivalent will be brought in sometime soon?

It won't though. That would be tantamount to an admission by the idiots in charge of VAR that they got it wrong - and that just isn't in their psyche. They haven't even realised yet that 'the final decision lies with the on-field referee' is incompatible with 'Don't go and look at the pitch-side monitor'. Pillocks.

.......and Dermot Gallagher on SSN will go on finding 'reasons' why any particular VAR decision is right.

 

[Gabbafella]

I know VAR has kind of taken centre stage for the past few minutes, but seriously, how good is Aaron Mooy?!

 

[London Irish]

Bmuff have a left back who can’t walk can we get the ball to Leo please

 

[Napier]

Time to show how much we have learned about game management from other teams........

 

[Dick Head]

Mooy!

No we haven't. The only winners from VAR are those making a profit installing it, and referees getting paid for fannying around with it.
