Same thing when Arsenal equalised at Old Trafford, the Merry flag wavers should keep their flag down & players carry on until the whistle, they all need to get used to it

Whys he flagging in the first place on such a tight call? Almost as if hes lY and cba to run down the line flagged instantly asif that or he was a clear offside. Arent they told to keep their flags down now for tight calls ? Let var sort it out. Players will have to learn quickly to play to whistle only fack the linos
Like having a lollipop man at a signalised pedestrian crossing
Looks ok to me....nobody whistled for offside....linesman can do what he wants it's the refs decision to go with it or not.
Stupid s utd players don't know the rules
Sheffield United players should have played on. They know the rules
look this is not that easy.
do people want teams to gain advantage from being offside?
example. v Everton there was on occasion van dij k I think gave the lino a rocket for a late flag cos he has to clear a ball. we got the offside.
the game.before alisson had to run miles from goal and out a ball out for a throw despite being chased down by a clearly offside player. lino gave Brighton the throw.
if we remove offside flagging the attacking side can the just take advantage constantly just as long as they were not offside in the direct passage of play for a goal.
linespersons need to flag. players need to learn not react to flags and only react to the ref. fairly simple stuff.

It was the keeper who should have made an effort because the defenders were out of the game. He just stood there and made it easy for Shelvey
The only flaw is in the Sheff Utd players not playing to the whistle. That man utd loanee keeper is an absolute mug. If he makes it at Man Utd then it will be because they have serious problems.

It's their own fault of they stop as they know VAR is in use. Therefore they would have to be absolute imbecilles to stop.
the rules are unchanged and VAR makes absolutely no difference, even in this case.
the linesman raising a flag has NEVER been an indicator that play has stopped. the ONLY official indicator to stop play is, and always has been, the referee's whistle.
the flag raise is to notify the REF, not the players, of a possible offside, it's then the ref's decision to agree with the linesman, stop the play and give offside, or to overrule the linesman and allow play to continue.
it's been drilled into players since they were kids, ALWAYS play to the whistle. the only people at fault here are the s. united players for stopping, and their manager for complaining about the decision.
