VAR

Stopping a player clearing a goal, You cant haul down a defender as the ball is heading towards the line. If there was no first foul and Haaland did that he's have been sent off.

Don’t be ridiculous! That’s not a rule! 😂

Otherwise you would send players off for bumping a keeper from a corner.

Pulling a shirt is only a red if it prevents an obvious goalscoring opportunity.
 
Are you telling that if Branthweight was coming back to clear a ball off the line and an opposition attacker hauled him back preventing the clearance you wouldn't be calling for a red?
Yes but it depends what happens beforehand. Slobbergob pulls Haaland back first so for all intents and purposes the game then becomes dead.
 
Haaland was already on a yellow so he would probably have been sent off (second yellow) if the earlier foul hadn’t happened.

Their thick fans were complaining about ref bias for sending off the cheating red scum player but not sending off Haaland.

The first foul is stopping a goal scoring oppertunity, always a foul and a red, the 2nd foul ended the advantage and it got pulled back for a free kick for the the first. In my opnion the only thing the REF got wrong was not sending Haaland off too. Both fouls individually are red card offences the contraversy is that they were within seconds of each other.

Why would Haaland need to be sent off?

For denying the opportunity of preventing a goal scoring opportunity?
 
Tbf you can see a clear difference in these goals - mainly that the Bournemouth player going for the ball is completely unmarked, so not really affecting our defender.

He makes a move towards the ball and tries to head it and the moment he does that he becomes active and is offside.

Active Involvement: A player in an offside position is penalised if they move towards the ball and attempt to play it, or challenge an opponent for the ball.

I’m not sure where you got that definition but I don’t think it’s from the rule book. The action must impact an opponent’s ability to or reaction to playing the ball. There are no defenders between Unal and the other Bournemouth player (but that’s for the Tarkowksi thread). No defenders react to Unals attempt to play the ball.
