Re: Todays football
They will get nowhere with this but I have to say I’m baffled as to how that winning goal was ruled out for offside. I’ve not seen the Pickford/VVD incident.wilks_bfc wrote: ↑Sat Oct 17, 2020 6:58 pmLiverpool have asked the Premier League to investigate the BAR decisions from today’s game

Whether right or wrong, it would set a very dangerous precedent if clubs were able to start getting decisions changed after the event.

Yes, they are both black - but both terrible pundits on Sky Sports now. Absolutely dreadful. Sol Campbell doesn't seem to know what day it is.

Re: Todays football
Just seen Rovers fell to an injury time defeat, that's cheered me up no end
Chelsea and Liverpool throwing leads away again, what on earth has happened to the famed Liverpool defence, it's leakier than a sieve this season, and if they don't tighten up pronto they can forget retaining the title.
Another home defeat for Bolton, and Salford suffered a reverse in Paul Scholes 1st game in charge, welcome to management Paul.
A big win for Stevie G in the Old Firm derby, but we've been here before, the question is can Rangers last the course, only time will tell on that score.
Bags of goals in all the leagues again today, this looks like being a season for the strikers to flourish, if this trend carries on we could see some PL records broken come May.

Re: Todays football
Peter Walton on BT Sports said it was a definite red. If not for dangerous play, then for violent conduct. As he said, the referee blowing his whistle doesn’t give players carte blanche to do as they please.

Quite possibly it should have been a red card, but I doubt it was missed by both the referee and VAR, I'm sure they saw it, reviewed it and decided it wasn't violent conduct so not a red card.

Re: Todays football
Yeah, they definitely didn’t miss it. But what an awful decision to let that go unpunished. I can’t think of many more reckless challenges than that, and if rumours are true then it’s going to cost VVD his season, and quite likely Liverpool’s.

And I see Chilwell is playing today after crying off Wednesday. I thought they had brought in a rule to stop this shirking off internationals for no other reason other they cant be arsed.
Re: Todays football
I know you can't, I'm just explaining what I think was the reasoning behind the decision. I don't think it's possible to be sent off for serious foul play if the ball is dead, it has to be for violent conduct and they obviously decided that this incident wasn't sufficient to be such an offence.Bordeauxclaret wrote: ↑Sat Oct 17, 2020 10:57 pmThe offside doesn’t matter.

I could have possibly worded it better saying how could they have missed the red card offence rather than how could they have missed the tackle.

Re: Todays football
I'm honestly not sure if it was violent conduct or not.
The definition is:
The definition is:
So if Pickford was challenging for the ball it can't be violent conduct, but on the other hand the ball is dead so he can't have been challenging for the ball so it must be violent conduct.Violent conduct is when a player uses or attempts to use excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for the ball, or against a team-mate, team official, match official, spectator or any other person, regardless of whether contact is made.
In addition, a player who, when not challenging for the ball, deliberately strikes an opponent or any other person on the head or face with the hand or arm, is guilty of violent conduct unless the force used was negligible.

Re: Todays football
If you watch Bosscat's clip then you can see from the angle behind the goal that the referee doesn't blow his whistle until after the challenge, so there isn't even an argument about the ball being dead. Just another awful decision.

Re: Todays football
If that was in the Championship or any other level of English football it would have been offside, no VAR involvement, Van Dijk injured and goes off and get on with the game.
THe people running the game have created the monster by telling ARs not to flag for offside because it will be reviewed by VAR and the keeper will always try to prevent a goal, even if the offside had been a lot further away than this one was. Today it was Van Dijk who got injured, on another day it could be the keeper who gets injured, even though the offside could have been 20/30 seconds earllier.
Van Dijk can't complain because he had taken out two Everton players only a few moments before and knew exactly what he was doing and got away with it.
Too much emphasis is being put on the powers of VAR and this is undermining officials at the top level all over the world and it won't get any better!
It is a good job that VAR is at Stockley Park which is in the Borough of Hillingdon and is Boris's constituency so it won't be closed down because he doesn't wish to upset his voters.

Clearly Pickford should have been sent off for violent conduct-/ common assault/ Whatever you call it it, it’s clearly a sending off
As obvious as the later offside error
The mis - use of technology clearly ruined that game and changed the result of the game

What Manes disallowed goal clearly tells us.....
Over the seasons before VAR there were thousands of goals scored "that weren't goals" if VAR had been around.
Re: What Manes disallowed goal clearly tells us.....
They've rushed to make the top of the arm not-handball to stop some ridiculous penalties being given and in the process have made it a playable part of the body, thus the offside for Mane's goal. A better solution would be to accept that some rules in football are a bit weird and contradictory, making the top of the arm legal when contending a penalty or free kick (handball) decision, and not-playable when adjudicating offside. That kind of contradiction is practical. Being absolutist about what part of the arm is playable has caused the problem here, and it could be addressed with a bit of a more nuance in the handball laws. This would work because offside decisions don't concern themselves with which part of the body a player eventually controls the ball with, only which parts of the body fall behind or in front of the offside line.

Re: What Manes disallowed goal clearly tells us.....
To be fair, everything was kind of ok before. You were either offside, onside ,or if it was a bit too close to tell you were level and therefore onside. I think most of us saw the can of worms that VAR would open, and it seems that every little bit of tinkering to the laws just makes the game worse.
Re: What Manes disallowed goal clearly tells us.....
Before implementation/in the early days I was never behind the argument against VAR that it would give fans in the pub etc nothing to talk about after games, because an innovation's capacity to stir gossip or chatter is no measure of its value, but I'm genuinely amazed how much more it's given everyone to talk about. Surpasses my wildest imagination. Officiating might be more accurate in a compass and protractor sense, but it has been awful and frustrating to watch.

Yeah that’s true. The reason is you can forgive officials for getting marginal decisions wrong, well I can.

Re: What Manes disallowed goal clearly tells us.....
Not quite. The point of VAR is that the law has changed. The old rule introduced 30 years ago said level was onside, and the guidance to referees specifically said that level was to be judged by the human eye - if the man looked to be level, then he was level. In other words, fractions of an inch didn't count. (That law still applies at most matches.)kenyon6923 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 17, 2020 11:57 pmOver the seasons before VAR there were thousands of goals scored "that weren't goals" if VAR had been around.
I don't know whether the current law makers have changed this on purpose or if they are too stupid to realise they have changed it at all, but changed it they have. All they need do to put it right is to stop drawing lines on the screen and look at the picture with a linesman's eye. Was Mane level? Yes he was. The goal stands. It's quick, it keeps the law the same as it has been for 30 years, and it fulfills the original aim of the rule change in that it gives the forward an extra half yard to play in.
Re: What Manes disallowed goal clearly tells us.....
Or Pickford's legs-akimbo finisher move on Van Dijk's knee? We're told that the phase in play was offside, and so subsequent offences don't count (or that everything that happens after the offside movement doesn't count, or something...I don't know anymore, because the flags don't go up right away), but if in a lull in play in between the whistle a player jumped into another's knee like that he's be gone. He wasn't spared a red because it wasn't a red card challenge - it was - he was spared because the refs somehow had it in their heads that offences outside the whistle don't/can't happen, or something. It wasn't a tactical foul, it was reckless play.Rileybobs wrote: ↑Sun Oct 18, 2020 12:22 amYeah that’s true. The reason is you can forgive officials for getting marginal decisions wrong, well I can.

Unless I'm wrong and the commentators are right, dangerous play is still only an indirect free kick. The commentators were so determined that it ought to be a penalty that I thought the law must have changed, but I've checked and it appears not; it was just the commentators being appallingly unprofessional.Rileybobs wrote: ↑Sun Oct 18, 2020 12:22 amYeah that’s true.

But that means VAR wouldn't be relevant because VAR doesn't assess indirect free kicks unless the possible offence immediately leads to a goal.

However the referee didn’t actually blow his whistle until after Pickford’s challenge. So how can they deem the challenge to be unpunishable. Wasn’t Richarliason sent off in the same match, by the same referee, for a challenge that took place after the referee had blown for a foul?Spiral wrote: ↑Sun Oct 18, 2020 12:42 amOr Pickford's legs-akimbo finisher move on Van Dijk's knee?

Re: What Manes disallowed goal clearly tells us.....
Exactly. Things have become so complicated and coloured by regulation that they lose sight of common sense. If that challenge happens in the midfield area by an outfield player, it’s a straight red. If, after an offside whistle Pickford were to jump up and punch van Dijk it’s a straight red. The ball being dead is irrelevant around a player being out of control. He was out of control and could have snapped van Dijk in half.dsr wrote: ↑Sun Oct 18, 2020 12:44 amUnless I'm wrong and the commentators are right, dangerous play is still only an indirect free kick.

Maybe it’s because it was Pickford and Southgate had a word and reminded them, he is in fact the second coming of Christ?
