The disallowed 'goal'

[FMBlade1]

Not going on a campaign against the officials it was a marginal call but it was so important and deserves a thread of it's own.

Do people thing it was right it was disallowed?

Probably would have been 2-2 then gone to extra time and lost anyway.

 

[Ralph Blade]

No because VAR has no place in a Championship match

 

[Houston_Blade]

It could have gone either way and the ref took the easy option. If it had been against us I’d have wanted it disallowed though.

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

It was the right decision.

 

[Stebop]

We would've fucked it up regardless as we're a team off worms as evidenced by the outcome of this season

[Brian Blessed]

It was offside, rightly ruled out, don't be using that as an excuse for that dogshit second half

 

[Jon B]

It was a straightforward decision.

Their defenders came out of the six yard box fast. Our front two didn't. And Campbell was in the eyeline of the keeper.

It's not an excuse for a poor second half. But it's a wrong decision.

We had plenty of chances to win second half

More than they did

It's not tho

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Keeper has a clear view of the ball when it’s hit, offside players don’t impede his dive.

 

[Bladesman]

We would be fuming if that was at the other end and it had been allowed.

 

[gordoncharles]

As soon as I saw the reply I knew it would be scrubbed. I don't see how anyone with a modicum of objectivity can complain. Souza was right in front of their keeper and it went in the side he was obscuring.

 

[FlamingLip]

It's a sickener. And VAR was always gonna play a part in a final with united. But in the prem I rec the goal is disallowed, and given we were playing with prem standards, let's not whinge

 

[snb69]

Sadly, it's offside. Irs the correct decision but I still hate it

 

[robbiez666]

It's offside. He's clearly interfering with play and would have been ruled out 20 years ago is an official saw it. Vini is stood almost infront of the keeper and then moves to the side. He's in the keeper's eyeline and impeding his ability to dive. No doubt Wilder will use it as an excuse, because he's not someone with the integrity to ever take responsibility, but it's a clear and obvious offside.

 

[TJB.]

Hand on heart, if that happens at the other end, I'd have no qualms about it.

And nothing changes the fact that if there's no VAR, that goal stands. If that happens against Bristol City nobody is talking about it.

If it had been against us it wouldn't have been disallowed!

Two Sunderland players to the right playing him on?

 

[Matlock Blade]

Unfortunately it was the the correct decision.

Sorry - that’s incorrect. When it’s hit - no offside player is in front of him

Is an offside player in his eyeline? ie, can he see them and are they potentially putting him off?

 

[SuperSonicBlade89]

The Offside rule is not fit for purpose. Absolute bull shit you can chalk goals off like that. Killing football along with VAR.

 

[Toronto Blade]

I thought that the league wanted more goals for entertainment but they keep wanting to strike goals off for the silliest reasons.

 

[Champagneblade]

Whatever we say on here won’t change anything.

But form what I say that ball went through a huge crowd of bodies at pace.

If Souza was there or not I doubt very much Paterson is saving it.

It just adds to the mystique that it had to be us.

Subs warming up don’t count!
