Today’s Football 25/26 Season

When the ball hit Semenyo's knee in the middle, Haaland's right foot was further forward than the goalkeeper - as that only left Thiaw level with him, he was in an offside position. Haaland and Thiaw were grappling with each other, and therefore Haaland was interfering with Thiaw by making an obvious action which clearly impacted on Thiaw's ability to play the ball. Some may argue that Thiaw was never going to get there anyway but a precedent has been set that this doesn't really come into consideration.

It looked messy and took too long, possibly because the semi-automated technology didn't work due to the crowd of players, but it was offside.

What about the 5cm rule, your Wirtz rule

That margin of error has always been there in England when they were drawing the lines, that Liverpool goal was just the first time people realised it was still there for the semi-automated technology. They drew the lines in the old way in this case, the simple answer is that he was more than 5cm offside.

It would be interesting to see where the corner taker was stood at the time the ball hit semenya.

I just can't be bothered with VAR

 

[davids]

Time to bin offside.

As was Wirtz.

Why are you telling me that? I don't care.

Are you @damo1978 ?

I have no idea who that is.

is he a red?

What was the difference between that goal for offside and Semenyos last night.

 

[Runub]

Arsenal 1-0 already

 

[atrottel]

Arsenal 1-0 already

And, although I'm not bothered either way, how was the Arsenal player on the goal line stopping a Chelsea player getting to the ball not offside?

Didn’t really notice but sounds similar to the City goal yesterday disallowed? They make it up as they go along

He's very suspect I think
