One of those dumb VAR decisions where yes it technically was offside, but honestly who would've complained if it stood? It's dealing in fractions of millimetres.

The only people who'd have complained would've been fans of clubs who've been screwed by worse VAR decisions in the past, which kinda tells you what the real problem is.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm fairly certain the sporting fans would have been upset if they had lost to an illegal goal thay was allowed to stand. I'm sure the fans of the other team in the group that can still qualify might have been a bit miffed too.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

By the sounds of it you would have been apoplectic as well
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Nope. Whether spurs win or not has absolutely no bearing on me whatsoever unless they are playing Liverpool, or the result affects Liverpool.

All I have done on this thread is point out that the decision was categorically correct under the rules and that the fans of teams affected would probably have been upset if the goal was given.

This aspect of VAR I really don't like. It wasn't necessarily the case here, but it punishes intelligent movements and/or rewards poor defending because of technicalities. How is a player supposed to account for his fingers or toes being offside when he makes a run? It's f@ckin daft

The bigger issue is that it has taken a qualified ref 4 mins to find an angle that might show Kane offside. It’s a worry when decisions are taking that long and it felt like VAR was looking for something, anything, from the outset

------------------------------------------------------
Yep, that's the overarching issue with VAR as a tool, it encourages the referee to seek out reasons to disallow goals rather than do what most people assumed it was going to do - reverse clear & obvious errors.

It’s very easy to resolve as well - give VAR 1 minute to make a decision, if they can’t then the original decision stands. Better still, let a faaaacking computer decide if something is offside or not - that will likely be instant like goal line tech.

That`s 2 games in a row we have been shafted by var

If you're relying on VAR to win your games, then something is wrong.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Agree, but nevertheless, he’s right
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How were you shafted? Was the correct decision.

Anytime VAR rules out a goal it should be be because the officials have made a clear and obvious error.

By not putting a time limit on the decision making process and making the offside so forensic they are just asking for trouble.

In the days before VAR nobody would have even considered that Spurs late goal might be offside.

There is nothing in the offside rule about "forward" or "backward" passes.

One of the few then, good for you.

I can still annoy a few Gooners now by talking about that Holding red card - Son ran into him boo hoo hoo.

Kane was in an offside position.
The ball from Emerson deflected off a defender to Kane, but that deflection was judged to be "not deliberate".
Hence Kane was offside when he played the ball.

You should be working for UEFA mate, you would have turned that decision around in under 4 mins - you didn’t even need the replay did you stud

I’m talking about your entire 100+ years history - you can’t have been rebuilding the whole time you mad man

1 proper Euro trophy in that time compared to our 3. It’s a huge stain on Arsenal football club, you have a great domestic record and been the third biggest team in England for most of your history, but Sevilla have 6 times the European trophies you do?
