[Partickger]

Excellent picture there. Ball clearly not over line.

It’s a still, it shows nothing.

 

[HandsomeHead]

What was wrong with the goal?

I hear them banging on about this curvature of the ball thing, but I think that’s daft. If the bit touching the ground is over the line, that should be it.

If thems the rules, fair enough, but it’s daft, IMO.

Souness is raging about it

 

[Iain04]

I miss the EPL/SPFL quick VAR checks & pictures or offside immediately. This tournament has been farcial for delays on getting pictures

 

[WillowBear]

Some of the pictures now.....the boots on the Japanese player look photo shopped.

 

[Awaydays]

That is out, no matter what they say. Looks well out for me.

 

[Taverneeeeer]

Excellent picture there. Ball clearly not over line.

It went further but the overhang was still in.

 

[Scott-Ger]

The ball clearly isn't out. GIRFUY Germans.

So if the ball is in the air it's still in play?

The angle across the line shows there's a baw hair of the ball still on the line. Correct decision from what I've seen.

 

[sonofbunk]

Did Souness get Germany in the ITV office sweep?

 

[julian candy]

It's impossible to tell whether it's over the line from any of those angles. Maybe that's the best angle they have so went with the onfield decision.

 

[GavCo]

How exactly?

The Germans are out on the back of their pathetic second half performances against Japan.

They are out due to a VAR decision that FIFA havent produced any evidence for being correct!

 

[tonforty]

Looks in from these pics as far as I can see. Don’t understand the fuss on ITV.

 

[Taverneeeeer]

That is out, no matter what they say. Looks well out for me.

The ball is over but the overhang of the ball is still on the line so that means its in mate.

 

[Ready72]

Souness is absolutely furious here

 

[Kirkwall Blue]

Souness is rippin it

 

[Hilly5411]

Why is Souness almost greeting hahaha

 

[Oranje]

Qatari’s when German’s ask for the replay of Japans goal

 

[HowdenEnder]

Why does this gimp have 4 TVs behind him?

When he's not on camera, one of them is showing porn. :shh:

 

[McQueen]

It’s a still, it shows nothing.

ITV showed the video from this angle. That is the moment the Japan player connected with the ball.

 

[Saturnblue]

The Spanish goalie didn't even try to save Japan's first goal

 

[GavCo]

It's impossible to tell whether it's over the line from any of those angles. Maybe that's the best angle they have so went with the onfield decision.

One does look conclusively in to me but the other angle looks out and you have nothing to tell you both are taken at the exact same moment in time

 

[dcbear]

When he's not on camera, one of them is showing porn. :shh:

Why does he need the other three then?

 

[doyle55]

Overhead pictures the ball is IN.

 

[rossgers]

Ooh. That looks out.

 

[WinkieWATP]

That is out, no matter what they say. Looks well out for me.

The full ball needs to be over the line. Your talking millimetres either way.

It’s neither well out or well in.

 

[Iain04]

Why does he need the other three then?

Different camera angles of the scene

 

[Kirkwall Blue]

They are out due to a VAR decision that FIFA havent produced any evidence for being correct!

The on field decision was goal as ball didn't go out. VAR can only review that if there is evidence the decision was wrong; they're not looking for evidence the decision was correct.

 

[Cyberniv]

You found tonight’s games boring?

The 10 man defence part, yes, utterly tedious, as it always is.

 

[TheBlueDevil]

Ok let me get this right - theres some controversy and possible cheating by a wee Japanese fella and the bloke the filth signed who looks like the Colonel out of Tenko - well who'd have thought that would have happened - whenever there's something dodgy going on in football there's always some link to Scotland's shame isn't there no matter how ten(ko)uous

 

[Awaydays]

The ball is over but the overhang of the ball is still on the line so that means its in mate.

That picture doesn't prove it as far as I can see. In fact it looks more out, than ours against frankfurt.

I see what you mean though. Let's just say it's highly controversial.

 

[julian candy]

Why is Souness almost greeting hahaha

He just plays the role of the old guy shouting at a cloud these days. Sad to see.

 

[HowdenEnder]

Amazing that it comes down to how steady-handed the guy painting the lines is.

 

[wilso10]

The ball is over but the overhang of the ball is still on the line so that means its in mate.

Have you got the proof?

 

[Tumbling Dice]

Yeah lets call Peter Walton to help us. F#ck sake

Goodnight Jim Bob .

 

[Kentbear]

Excellent picture there. Ball clearly not over line.

I cant even see a ball ffs.

 

[No Hiding Place]

Neville laughing at the Germans who now wont add to their 4 world cup wins.
3 Euro wins in the bag as well BTW.

 

[OnTheWay]

The different perceptions are absolutely fucking with my head haha

 

[Dynamo]

I hear them banging on about this curvature of the ball thing, but I think that’s daft. If the bit touching the ground is over the line, that should be it.

If thems the rules, fair enough, but it’s daft, IMO.

Souness is raging about it

I thought every adult knew it was all the ball over all the line and not just the part that touches it, always has been.

 

[Ibroxkev]

Fifa showing them whose boss

 

[DocStone]

Ach, these things even themselves out over the season, time to move on.

 

[Blue Zebra]

Haha forgot about that.

They can stfu and go home now

Really? One of the few protest moments. Everybody else, mainstream, going with the flaw, kissing FIFA ass. Congrats! I am German, I am no big national team supporter but some comments here piss me off...if you pretend it is all about the fitba, fine by me, but please start thinking before communicating..m

That’s the key point - unless the VAR can prove the refs decision was wrong and they can’t because the camera angles are inclusive, then it stands.

 

[Taverneeeeer]

That picture doesn't prove it as far as I can see. In fact it looks more out, than ours against frankfurt.

I see what you mean though. Let's just say it's highly controversial.

Aye. Pics on twitter with the lines drawn show its in though mate. Devastating as it means that kents would probably be given

 

[GavCo]

The on field decision was goal as ball didn't go out. VAR can only review that if there is evidence the decision was wrong; they're not looking for evidence the decision was correct.

Where is that from? The linesman had flagged it. The japanese player didnt celebrate and pointed to the linesman when the players were running over to him.

 

[Taverneeeeer]

Have you got the proof?

Its all over twitter mate.

 

[dcbear]

It's a pity the Japan Spain game didnt have the all female refs group to ramp up the "is the ball out?" outrage.

 

[TheBlueDevil]

The filth's player learns quick doesn't he - cheating AND lying down on the job - must have been on some sort of team and fanbase orientation Training Course over at the San Giro

 

[sofa_kineazy]

All this ‘curvature’ of the ball bollox.

Back in the day if half the ball was over the line it was out.
