So how long before the Premier league maximise profits by running ad breaks in VAR checks?

If the opportunity arose, I imagine Specsavers would happily bung a few million quid in their direction.

I went for a piss before the goal went in, went to the bar and was back before they had even disallowed it.

I've seen the VAR shot frame by frame and still can't believe Stockley Park ruled it out?

Everybody seems certain it was Bailey who was offside but why did they start analysing Lenglet blocking the keeper's view? It was at that stage i thought bailey had been passed onside. I cant understand why they would do this unless to do the two issues at the same time to save time?

Either way the reason the offside law exists is to act as a deterrent to goal hanging. It was never intended to micro analyse. Unless the decision is blatantly wrong the onfield decision ought to be upheld.

I didn't really celebrate the goal because I didn't think Bailey got back fast enough in real-time. Then when I saw the first replay, I expected it to be disallowed for what appeared to be a foul by Lenglet on Danjuma, which stopped him from being able to play the offside.

If you're going to disallow it, surely you have to consider whether it was a foul first, before going through all the bother of drawing lines on the screen.

VAR will work better once they start putting microchips in the balls and using semi-automated offside tech.

Well that's another issue entirely after Anthony Taylor's 'not getting involved mate' performance against Sheff Utd.

It seemed like a process was being followed.

Is it offside? No.
Is the player impeding the goalkeeper's view? No.
Was the defender being fouled? Yes...no goal.

Whereas if you're not following a process, you could reach the conclusion that it was a foul within a few seconds without having to go through the other stages of the process.

I think Tarks is a frustrated, yet to come out predatory homosexual.

Huh?

Me too.  I was thinking, "why are they showing the tugging by Lengelet on Coleman?" he wasn't interfering with the play in any shape or form. If the reason was Bailey, that should have been sorted in 10 seconds max.

Did you you mean to say  "yet to come out as a sexual predator"

VAR has turned over 3 on field decisions against us so far this season costing 7 points. There is been no balance other way around.

[PaulWinch again]

Has there not? I’m sure I’ve seen VAR calls in our favour - not least that it helps us play the defensive style we do.

Gallagher was claiming they couldn't see Bailey's position when the pass was made, not sure if that was the case initially or later. In any case Lenglet fouls the guy and Bailey is also offside. Cracking finish but the correct decision.
