Vital Champions League
We were told it was for clear and obvious mistakes. We had the Lundtram's toes incident v Spurs, 2nd phase and all that was not applied. Before the home game v Newcastle in the 1st PL season we were told the linesman would NOT flag if there was any doubt about an offside.He flagged, we stopped and VAR overturned it.
There's been so many tweaks from the 'natural', known by all offside ruling that we now have a rule about 'physical interference' culminating in the daftest, most perverse offside decision I have ever seen yesterday from OT.
How can a defender defend when a player clearly stood offside is allowed to run alongside the ball thus affecting the mindset and natural instincts of the other players until another player runs from a non offside position and kicks the ball into the net?
VAR - righting the clear and obvious wrongs?
No it's rewriting the rule book to help officials by adding ludicrous tweaks to the rules to try to make it work.
FFS go back to 2 between the player and the goal being onside and , if not. flag.If the lino gets that wrong then use VAR but don't change the whole game because the ruling bodies have f***ed up.
As Shankly said " if he's not interfering with play why's he on the pitch?"
