Re: Leicester City v Burnley - match thread
Not losing a difficult game is a good start and will have boosted our confidence, particularly as we were a whisker away from snatching it at the death. If we can win next week then things begin to look different. Just hope that Maxwel’s injury is not too bad.

Re: Leicester City v Burnley - match thread
I’m really struggling with the interpretation of rules again….
The phrase clear and obvious error is bandied about a lot these days, and that VAR will only step in when it’s clear and obvious.
Woods goal was neither, it was tight as a tight thing. So shy would they even look? Not saying it was the wrong decision, but I’m saying if VAR is for clear and obvious errors only, it shouldn’t even have been looked at.

Looks VERY close to me.
Too close for VAR to overturn in my opinion.

Re: Leicester City v Burnley - match thread
Anyway, great point.
Pity about Cornet, looks really lively and it was a great strike by him.
Looks like our plan A is quite good. We should be ok if plan A players remain fit, because we aren’t all that when plan A is disrupted.

Re: Leicester City v Burnley - match thread
What percentage of fans wanted rid of VAR altogether in that summer survey? 70 per cent, was it?
They took no notice as usual.

I’ll watch MOTD to see if there is a better angle but from that view it looks too close to rule out.
These split second decisions should go in favour of the attacking team in my view.

Re: Leicester City v Burnley - match thread
both Vydra and Cornet walked over to the away end and applauded after the game, if the injuries were that bad then they would have been straight down the tunnel. Fingers crossed they were both precautionary

Re: Leicester City v Burnley - match thread
Be gentle with Joey13; it wasn't a school night last night, so he would've been allowed to stay up late and now he's probably just a bit tired and mardy as a result? If you keep teasing hime he'll only scream and scream and scream until he's sick and then it'll be his mum, not you, that has to clean it up and get him bathed again before bedtime.

Re: Leicester City v Burnley - match thread
Exactly. If he is offside for an arm then it automatically goes in the favour of the defender because the momentum of an attacker is always gonna put his arms, forehead, etc, in an offside position. It's their instinct to move forward and attack an oncoming ball, and it's so much easier for a defender to move his body slightly or stand his ground. That seems ultimately unfair on the attacker and almost impossible to gain any advantage.

Re: Leicester City v Burnley - match thread
There seems to be just as much argument over VAR decisions as those taken in real time, so I just don’t see the point of it
Re: Leicester City v Burnley - match thread
I thought they would always check with VAR for offside but now they will only overturn the decision if the two lines they draw are overlapping in any way

Re: Leicester City v Burnley - match thread
Going by the forensically drawn lines that we were subjected to last season, Wood was offside. However I thought that they were now using a thicker line, which they may very well have done but I haven’t seen it, in which case it’s the right call. Otherwise it seems to me like the kind of ‘level’ goal which we were told would stand if awarded in real time.
It’s a funny thing is football. Before the game i
I’d have been happy with a point, and even going into injury time as gutted as I was I wanted the game to end. But having come so close, twice, to winning the game it leaves mixed feelings. I always think it’s good to imagine had the game gone the other way would I be happy, and had we scored a 86th minute equaliser I certainly would have been.
We’re playing pretty well and trying to take the game to the other teams. We need a bit of luck, and certainly some better game management, but I think we will start picking up the points we need.

Re: Leicester City v Burnley - match thread
His foot is in advance of the defender’s foot but that angle doesn’t conclusively prove that his foot is in advance of the furthest point of the defender’s body.Vegas Claret wrote: ↑Sat Sep 25, 2021 5:54 pmhis foot is clearly in advance of the defender, even my mrs said it was offside in real time !

Dyche on Cornet's injury
"Good signs early on and we just hope it is not too serious an injury, and the same with Vyds."
positive

Re: Leicester City v Burnley - match thread
Most observers could clearly see the midfield needed bolstering
Apart from Dyche
His tactical ineptacy is really coming to the fore this season

Re: Leicester City v Burnley - match thread
Is ineptacy infectious
Re: Leicester City v Burnley - match thread
Under the laws as they stand, level is onside, and under the guidance given to referees when the law was brought in 30 years ago, level is to be judged by the human eye, not by toes and inches. If a man looks, level, then he is level.
The VAR people, whether through ignorance or deliberate policy, have decided that that rule brought in 30 years ago was wrong. It was brought in specifically to give the forward an advantage and create more goals, and the VAR people in their pig-headed obstinacy have chosen to pretend to believe that the lawmakers at the time meant to give a quarter of an inch advantage to the forward, and not (as we all thought at the time) a couple of feet. Which is why Wood's goal would be onside if Accrington Stanley scored it. in a game with no cameras, correctly under the law; but offside under the newly applied VAR rules.
And that, of course, is before we start thinking about the way a player's foot can move literally two feet between frames of a TV camera.
