The disallowed 'goal'

[Large Mendonca]

I have a problem. The way I feel today, I am done with football where VAR is concerned, which means I'm done with the Premier League. I'm quite happy to watch it on the telly when United aren't involved because I give few fucks about the teams. So, I should be happy that I'll be watching United in the Championship with no VAR. But what will we be playing for? A place in the Premier League. What, then, is the fucking point?

I'll be honest with you, I'm in a pretty dark place today and feel like I'm at some sort of crossroads.

Touché

If that player had been stood just a bit closer to the post, all the is Vini blocking the keepers sight, becomes irrelevant. Even though by been stood near the keeper's right post, he'd have made fuck all difference to it going in.
I've not seen any clip showing how much he was off by.

Looking at that angle, I am unconvinced the lino would have even 100% spotted it. Pre VAR I reckon it's 50/50 the flag goes up.

They had a goal line camera on the broadcast, but it doesn't seem to be in any of the highlights packages. He's probably a yard ish offside.

VAR causes huge eight-minute delay as League One play-off final descends into chaos. The stoppage came at an inopportune time for the O's as they were in the ascendancy in pursuit of the equaliser.

Why are they introducing this in the Championship and league one finals - smacks of jobs for the old boys!

Was Vini in an offside position? Yes

Was he in the keepers line of sight of the ball when it was struck? No - 2 Sunderland players and another United player were

Did he move across the keepers sight of the ball - Yes - as the ball was about 6 yards out

Vini, why didn't you step left instead? Ffs.

but Vini was stood to the left of their goalie when the ball was struck

Look at the side view above, he's standing offside about a yard away from the keeper, on the side the ball goes and the way he needs to dive, he's also between the keeper and the ball on its way in. If you still don't think that's interfering with play or impacting the keeper, I don't know what to tell you. Whether he'd have actually saved it or it'd gone in anyway is irrelevant in terms of the offside.

I still think that’s a goal and every week in championship it would be.
Felt like they had to use VAR in final - don’t think I saw their players complaining after Burrows scored but them of course it’s right decision when tv analyse it. It’s completely screwing up the joy of watching football when it takes 5 mins to confirm/disallow a goal

Funny to see Villa are now complaining about referee after today’s match
Didn’t see them complain much when their goal line technology failed against us a few years ago
Karma ?
