Agreed.Var completely ruined the Liverpool Everton game plus Everton’s keeper should have had a red card.....Getting crazy and no sense or sportsman ship .....
Better still, and simpler still, just get rid of offside altogether. It would open the game up by using the whole pitch. Worth a trial.I'd settle for a simplification of the offside rule that makes it easier for everyone at every level of football incl the kids. If when the ball is kicked any player is further ahead of a defender it is offside - simples.
Your observations are right Prem but just some fines or point deductions would help. A bit like when players kick a ball out and claim a throw in or corner
Agreed. No penalty due to prior offside but no excuse for such violence whether the game is in play or not. If the FA have any balls they will charge him with violent conduct and ban him for as long as their rules permit.In the Liverpool match the Everton goalie should have been sent off his tackle may destroy a footballers career out for this season at least.
What is your considered opinion ?Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford will not face retrospective action over his challenge on Virgil van Dijk in Saturday's Merseyside derby.
The FA determined the incident was seen at the time having consulted with the match officials, including VAR.
The Liverpool defender suffered cruciate ligament damage when he was caught by Pickford in the first half.
The injury is likely to keep him out for at least six months and potentially the rest of the season.
The FA does have the power to intervene even if a decision is seen, but this is only used in exceptionally rare circumstances.
Evidently, these circumstances do not apply on this occasion.
Footballs becoming an expensive farce...
