Match Thread Everton v Manchester United - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

Feel a bit for the ref given he allowed it and then has his decision overturned, meanwhile the person who made the call is sat in a studio hiding whilst the ref gets absolute pelters lol

Referee is the one giving the final decision.

If he isn't sure after the words from 300miles away, then he should go and check the monitor himself.

If Maguire touches it as he did doesn't that mean that siggy is played inside. Just heard a lad onnth radio ask that. Any refs on here know the rule?
Defo goal.anyway. Dr gea gets wrong footed by Maguire's deflection never mind siggy being there

Supposedly the decision isn't made from the deflection off Maguire, it starts from our player hitting the ball, so Sigurdsson is offside.

VAR is the Premiership's functional equivalent of any major company's HR department. Presented as for the good of the many but only ever working on behalf of the few.

VAR isn't the issue

The officials working it are.

Another thing... How fkn quick was that VAR check??!!...i've seen less important decisions take 3-4 minutes.. VAR official had no interest in making a big decision against United that decided the game...

Televised bias..

To be fair, it was Jonathan Moss on VAR so at the time he was probably a good fifty yards away from the VAR monitor, blowing.

This.

Although I think it does differ if the defender makes a clear attack of hte ball, rather than it just hitting him. I don't think it could be seen as clear.

Back form the game

Wow what an absolute disgrace at the end. Couldn't believe it when they showed the replay 2 minutes later. When it went in I said to my lad and those around me "doesn't matter if they kick off, no way is that getting chalked off as he was t interfering with play"

Things about the game

Pickford awful again with that goal. Made amends with a superb double save but these mistakes are costing us massively.

Baines was excellent.

Davies really put a great shift in 2nd half

Gylfi really should have buried that chance a few seconds before the disallowed goal.

DCL was absolutely fantastic. Won every single header and I think he gave the ball away once all game.

Another game though where we've dropped points, 1 point from 6 against the teams where I felt we had to have got at least 4 points as Chelsea away and the rs at home will be tougher.

Nothing but 2 wins now is needed

Yup Bundesliga doesnt have these issues. It's because the English FA and their refs are absolute tossers

 

[blueconverse]

If refs gave post match interviews it would get fans onside. As they are cowards they deserve all the abuse they get

 

[deipnosophist]

Lovely use of egregious, but here, on GOT?

haha...my many followers on here demand my posts contain elements to raise them above the quotidian...

Ultimately he’s offside and is in direct line of the shot (even moving his leg out of the way), so by the letter of the law it’s the correct decision.

The annoying thing is if Gylfi wasn’t there that still goes in.

It’s one of those incredibly unlucky calls in football, that ultimately is correct.

Technically incorrect

dcl shot was off target so when it hits maguire then maguire is playing him onside and its an own goal

 

[Davidoff]

He says "Off you go"

Where does he say "disappear now"?

Says it three times before red card

Hi mate how are you feeling? I notice you only posted once yesterday about how bad Lovren is. Strange.

Yeah if a defender made a back pass to his keeper and it got intercepted by an opposition player in an offside position and he scored, then the goal would stand.

I'm throwing a party the day John Moss (var ref) is deemed too fat to referee

You know for a fact, if we where challenging for trophies again, this fat stain of a man would be as notorious as Clive Thomas. Hate him.

Calming down now after that. Sigurdsson should have scored initially and then that would have been avoided.

The goal should have stood. Line of sight rule means degea can't see the ball. With sigs on the floor he could clearly see the ball and Calvert lewin.

But you're right, how sigs misses the chance in the first place I'll never know. Can he not just put his foot through the ball instead of trying to sidefoot every chance that falls to him?
