I’ve no idea if VAR can intervene if they had scored from one of those throw ins?

Depends because while that pic as a still looks illegal given the ball is already about 2 metres away from him if it was the follow through from the launch that took his foot over the line that would probably be ok? Its where the feet are when the ball is thrown thats important

We are top of the away table. What a funny season.

There's an awful negative atmosphere at the THS and i think the players find it easier to play away. Been like that for a while 2bh.

If I was an away team i'd absolutely relish playing us at home. Great pitch, great stadium, bit of pressure and home fans will start moaning and groaning and then you go for kill by pressing the home team as you see their confidence wilt infront of you as every misplaced pass gets a chorus of groans and the atmosphere flatlines. I'd absolutely love it would absolutely relish getting in the face of likes of Romero and Porro as the panic sets in.

Agree.with all of this. You could undertand our players dreading playing at home.

Our away support also tends to be very good.

Semi-automated offside technology: What you need to know

Ahead of semi-automated offside technology (SAOT) being used in the Premier League this weekend, here is more information as to how it will work

Get sensors in players boots as well, and a red light turning on as soon as someone with the ball is in an offside position, and we wouldnt have to mute our celebrations every goddamned time we scored.

I know it's a bit pedantic but the forward foot looks like the one that is planted to get the power in throw rather than the follow through.

He had his foot over the line before releasing the ball. It was so obvious throughout the game that even Alan Smith on comms said it shouldn’t be allowed

We seem to get picked up on foul throws more than a lot of other teams

Even Smith was going on about it ffs.
VAR most be seeing this, why are they not letting the ref know to keep an eye on it, it was blatant and deliberate.

It's every teams first seasonal target....no matter how good you think you are.

I disagree. I don’t think it’s the target of any team that should be finishing top 6. It’s just something that happens along the way to the end destination. It’s like if you are travelling to town. You may pass the end of the road but it’s hardly a milestone achievement in your journey there.

Yep, it’s so obviously the best way to fix the issues for me. Do it for ball in play at corners/goal kicks and throw ins as well. Allow assistant referees to do just that…assist the referee. Suddenly you have 6 eyes on fouls and other infringements.

They could I think. Seems to be they can adjudicate on any significant infringement in that played a key part to the goal being scored.
That said.....who the f knows anymore?!

Surely it would fall into the 'clear and obvious error' envelope?
One, It's a rule, two, it's easy to ascertain it's been missed (as there is a line to guide you), three, it's then easy for VAR to say you got that wrong even if the onfield officials say they were watching.

Yeah. If we can get all line calls and who touched it last all covered by fast tech...then that will be a great leap forward.

Yes, some parts of offsides are subjective, but probably only 3 out of 10?

Dunno, it being so marginal (we are talking millimetres here), not sure it's clear and obvious.
 
Good to get a win. Team showed character and fight and all that. As a performance very much underwhelming again imo.

Hopefully getting a win at least gives us some confidence and something to build on.
