this is how good this boy is
McNeil (four) is one of just three teenagers to assist at least four goals in Europe's big five leagues this season, alongside Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho (five) and Parma's Dejan Kulusevski (five).

50m+, if he carries on this trajectory he's going to be approaching what we make in a season if a bidding war happens

Re: this is how good this boy is
The time taken was ridiculous. And why after every goal did the referee wait in the other half and assume that the goal was going to be ruled out? Why not start walking to the centre spot and let VAR review the goal in that time period?Bin Ont Turf wrote:They took long enough to get to a decision, so I reckon it's another b0llocks one.
After the own goal he allowed West Ham to set up for a free kick in their box.
Re: this is how good this boy is
The VAR men have been told that although the technology isn't there to judge offside to the inch, they have to pretend that it is. So if they can find a frame somewhere near the right moment that shows offside, then offside.mdd2 wrote:The VAR guy should be ashamed of himself
I don't know what they are told about how to pick which frame they look at. Or even if they consider that. Someone must be deciding which frame is nearer to the moment the ball is kicked, but I don't know who that is.

Re: this is how good this boy is
VAR rules state that when goals are scored, the governing phrase to rule it out is “a clear and obvious mistake by the referee”
Can someone please explain to me how that is relevant in this instance?
A few inches of foot, or shoulder is neither clear nor obvious.
Woods goal from McNeils wonderful cross was absolutely sublime, and it’s disgraceful that it should be ruled out.
If That sort of thing is going to be a regular occurrence, lets save the PL a fortune and get rid of linesmen altogether. In or out of play is irrelevant really so pointless keeping them on.

Re: this is how good this boy is
Clear and obvious does not apply to offside decisions. Offside decisions are black and white, although they can only be determined by the technology available which obviously carries a margin of error. By the same token, goal line technology will also carry a margin of error.bobinho wrote:VAR rules state that when goals are scored, the governing phrase to rule it out is “a clear and obvious mistake by the referee”

What was that?
Not even in the top ten of daft VAR offsides.
And Wood had no business being offside there.

Lampards England goal v ze Germans was a “clear and obvious” mistake by the referee and VAR would sort that out. There was nothing to sort out today as there wasn’t a “clear and obvious” mistake.
To disallow the goal, there must’ve been a “clear and obvious” mistake by the referee. Anyone outside the VAR room see that?

Re: this is how good this boy is
But offside is considered a clear and obvious mistake - in that he’s either offside or he’s not. And the pictures showed that he was offside. It’s not a subjective decision, it’s a clear and obvious, black and white decision. Like the ball crossing the goal line by an inch.bobinho wrote:But there was no offside decision.

Re: this is how good this boy is
As has been said several times, 'clear and obvious' doesn't apply to offside calls. From the Premier League website:
factual decisions such as offsides, and the issue of whether a player is inside or outside the penalty area, are not subject to the "clear and obvious" test

Who decides if VAR is to be used? Is it used for every goal? Why was it used today in this instance? Is very offside/not offside/ pass forward scrutinised?
When it’s THAT close, why is it “clear and obvious”?

Clear and obvious doesn’t come into play because the decision is considered factual. ie. he’s either definitely offside or he’s definitely onside. It doesn’t matter how offside or onside a player is.

To me, the clear and obvious mistake part is the reason VAR is brought into play, not the reason to give us a clear and obvious answer. Hence my argument that there wasn’t a clear and obvious mistake at the time. No one questioned it, WHU players didn’t mob the referee asking him to take a look. I get that he WAS offside by a fraction, as you rightly point out it’s factual rather than subjective, but it’s the reason why (namely the use of the phrase “clear and obvious” because at the time it’s neither) that I’m struggling with.

Re: this is how good this boy is
To be strictly accurate, according to the MotD picture, he was in an offside position when the ball was about a foot away from McNeil's foot - ie. a little while after the ball was played. They didn't offer any evidence as to where Wood was when the ball was played.bobinho wrote:Ok, fair enough. If VAR checks every goal, why don’t we get to know it?
