Think for blocking keeper...Was it chopped for offside or the attacker impeding the keeper?
Hate Ajax and Real. Self entitled arseholes
%^*& you all moaning about?
Offside is offside.
If VAR stops an offside goal from being awarded then it has done its job.VAR is only meant to be used when it’s an obvious error. Being 3mm offside isn’t an obvious error.

Yes. Although I am a fan of VAR, the clock has to stop.So much for VAR only being used when it’s clear and obvious. The fact they took 3 minutes to make the decision says it all. Complete bullshit.
They then only add on 2 minutes of injury time...

The impartial punditry of Owen and McManaman ex of Real Madrid.
What a shock. They think it shouldn’t be a goal.
Pish. Utter pish
Nope. It was given as offside as he was deemed to be interfering with keeper.No way was he saving thatBit
And it looks like it was given for interfering with the keeper, not offside.
Shite decision

It’s not the intended purpose. It’s being used inconsistently. That’s a massive issue. It’s not a level playing field if referees pick and choose when they can use it.
This. If you can take one look and it's so obvious that the ref / linesman has made a cock of it that you can overturn it in seconds, then fair enough. Anything else will kill the game as a spectator sport. If you lose that spontaneous eruption when you score, the game is done.So much for VAR only being used when it’s clear and obvious.

The VAR team dont make a decision. They highlight incidents for the ref to have a look at and the ref decides what happens from thereMy understanding is that the VAR "team" work behind the scenes "checking all goals, incidents in the penalty box, red cards and cases of mistaken identity" and relay their findings to the referee if his decision differs from theirs. The ref doesn't get to pick and choose when he uses it, although his decision upon seeing the footage is final.

The team looks at stuff, but they can recommend to the referee to take a look when it’s a clear and obvious error.
In this instance, it wasn’t clear and obvious, so shouldn’t have been used, regardless of whether it was the correct decision. I can guarantee within the next few weeks, there’ll be a decision ignored that should have gone to VAR. Its the inconsistency that bursts my head, happens all the time in countries that use VAR.
People that are out of touch with the fans want it IMO. Such as managers and players. It can be a safety net to catch players and managers if they make a lady's front bottom of something, like Courtois here for instance.This is what everyone wanted wasn't it?
Offside decided to the last millimetre by frame by frame dissection of the footage
Why are folk getting annoyed now?
Even the pundits.
The box is open and there's no putting it back now.
I haven't seen the term clear and obvious being mentioned in relation to its use but the fact is the team seen it and called it differently from the ref, they were right, the ref was wrong and after seeing the footage the ref agreed.
Clear and obvious error is the exact wording FIFA use in their VAR guide.I haven't seen the term clear and obvious being mentioned in relation to its use but the fact is the team seen it and called it differently from the ref, they were right, the ref was wrong and after seeing the footage the ref agreed.
