The official, though undoubtedly misunderstood or derided, 24/25 VAR thread

[Miles Away]

I’m sorry but several people in the match thread were adamant that every angle was clearly onside.

It's possible I was mistaken.

I BN is correct in the post match thread that this was the image they used (albeit cropped here) to determine the call, there is no way Mateta was onside.

I hope sincerely a decision wasn’t based on this obscure angled photograph with subjective line.

How in the actual **** can anyone say this random disposable camera picture casts sufficient doubt on the on field decision to the extent where it was right to conclude the decision should be changed.

Someone from the premier league should be made to say with a straight face that they aren’t just trying to **** us over.

Why did they take Mateta’s position from his knee?
Looks like his head is further forward,
Most people run with their head further forward, not like Forrest Gump!

****ing WHOOSHY flaptastic.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

If the whole point of the VAR is too make accurate decisions on offside, but then admit they cannot get accurate camera angles at this ground, they should have gone with the on field decision and just stick to penalty and red card decisions.

Possible foul before a goal: Saliba on Vardy

What happened: Leicester City were furious about the lead up to Arsenal's opening goal in the 20th minute, with Jamie Vardy claiming he was pulled back by William Saliba in the centre circle. Referee Sam Barrott didn't give a foul, and Arsenal scored 14 seconds later through Gabriel Martinelli. (watch here)

VAR decision: Goal stands.

VAR review: Arsenal had five touches of the ball, and Leicester were set throughout the move.

Saliba had his arm on Vardy's shoulder, and you can argue the case for a foul on the field but there wasn't enough in it for a VAR intervention from Paul Tierney.

Did they ever give an explanation of Mateta being deemed onside?

Yes, they said it's all bollocks and LCFC are a load of cheating feckers so they are going to give as many var decisions against us as they can all season to try and ensure we get relegated.

Working well so far!
