Why didnt we appeal their goal?

[Now and forever]

We can wipe that smugness next week.

 

[rtid]

But… it was checked. All goals are.

If so then fair enough but it must of been a quick check then as game kicked off quickly.

Also none of the commentators even mentioned that a VAR check was in progress as they usually get notified which made me doubt it was actually checked.

 

[Ferrybear73]

I will revert to your superior knowledge of Var but do you not think it deserved a look by the ref?

Mmmm, see what you are getting at. It is more a point of fact though (i.e. blocking of the keepers view), than say a foul for a penalty could be imho.

They didn’t mention it because they don’t need to. It happens automatically.

As for kicking off, did you time the celebrations? The VAR check wouldn’t need to be long. Seconds and they can see several angles. Nothing untoward so nothing raised to referee.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

I'm astonished that after all these years of VAR posters - on a football forum - seem genuinely unaware that every goal is subject to a VAR review. Quite remarkable.

 

[Kingwoody]

I keep thinking back to the Braga goal chopped off for the tackle on Jack.

 

[Ferrybear73]

No.

How not ?!

 

[GEODGC]

You only have to go back to the game at Ibrox a giant Dortmund to see how VAR can get things wrong. It all depends on what footage and angle they are looking at. If the ref at Ibrox that night had seen all the angles then the Rangers 'winner‘ wouldn’t have been chopped off. Who knows what footage/angles they looked at tonight?

Yes, every goal is checked. That doesn't mean every decision is 100% correct.

Of course not - but that's not the gist of this thread. Its very much 'we should have appealed and they'd have looked at it' - as if it wasn't already 'looked at'.

 

[Bluenose1979]

I’m more perturbed by the fact that as the weeks and months go by more and more of our support seem determined to adopt the dhims’ “always cheated never defeated” mantra.

Something we’ve taken great pride in mocking them for for years.

 

[Shengus Malengus]

The ball has travelled a bit here and McGregor's view still isn't blocked.
There's also a fair gap between him and the RB player.

There may have been a case if the ball went flying into his left hand post but it goes to his right hand. The only players blocking his view are Rangers players unfortunately.

I suppose u would have to be in the VAR Room to know all the angles for definite, but safe to say there will be camera's behind the goal and at the side of the pitch.

 

[Gazzabear v2.0]

I thought it was offside, but after a few replays he is away to the side, not in direct eyeline. If anything McGregor is unsighted by a few of our players.

 

[stillAlwaysblue]

I want to know why we did not get our penalty. Does the Ref and VAR not understand that we get one in all these type of ties. Their goal was fine and I am happy it was only one. Means we get two penalties at Ibrox lol.

 

[Ferrybear73]

why don't you

again the Ferry coming with the support of the opposition

Hardly m8, just stating the facts. I am desperate to get through.

Seemingly the Referee tonight hasn't given a penalty in any of his UEFA matches this season. Just our luck, eh?

If that’s at the other end and gets chopped off, folk would be pissing boiling blood on here about cheating refs. Nothing surer.

I'm going to have to disagree...

 

[derbybear]

Referees and linesman are 100% calling players coming back from an offside position (an awful rule) but if a player is affecting the line of sight he would need to have been gouging the keeper's eyes out before a foul is given.

Is the return leg on RTV mate?

Yeah his view is blocked by Arfield Silva isn't even in his eyeline. Macgregor doesn't even appeal for it either once it hits the back of the net so that itself as well as VAR check tells you it's a goal.

 

[keep_believin84]

Obviously not or var would have looked at it .

Don’t get the ‘obviously’ in this comment, like VAR is the daddy? It’s been proved wrong plenty, and I agree with the OP that the player is in Shag’s line of site all day long!

 

[Googsly 8]

Be good if our keeper could come for a nothing cross for once, honestly.

The cross itself was dealt with, the goal was a great strike. Did not see anything that we should feel nervous about next week, last two rounds have been against far better teams than them imo

 

[Murray the Bear]

Cant be bothered reading the whole thread but there has to be an argument for saying their forward was in line of McGregors's sight. I think I'm right in saying Shagger didnt seem to complain too much though!

 

[Whats up doc]

I think your seriously mistaken, we didn’t trouble their keeper and had around 36% possession, without the ball you don’t score. We don’t have a natural striker, just don’t see anyway we put two by them but I could be totally wrong.

 

[Barryhopez]

For what?

Purely to get in the refs face....or something like that.

 

[Rangers_2001]

If McGregor was unsighted you can bet your bollocks he’d be the first one bursting the referees ears.

This. You can tell a lot about the correctness of a decision by the players reaction.

 

[2 of the Best]

Let's just fix it at Ibrox, it is only half time and the atmosphere will be amazing. We can do this.

 

[tottie beck]

Did Goldson not call for it? Or was he shouting at our defence?

 

[Rangerista]

I can’t understand why VAR didn’t pull it up. All goals are checked and the guy is offside standing right in front of McGregor.

But Alan McGregor wasn't distracted.

 

[Robbie Hepburn]

If we scored that goal and it got flagged offside. Would anyone agree it was the correct decision? Because I find that doubtful

 

[RTD-BEAR]

The one that got me was the goldson headknock to me that's potentially penalty as the boy had lead with his elbow it was his elbow that hit goldson not head

 

[Bluenose88]

Why chase the Ref? VAR looked at it and said it was fine. Offside I thought but they must reckon Greegs had a view of it anyway.

The fact he dived for it probably suggests he saw it, albeit maybe late, hence he missed it. I thought two players looked offside from the replay. We'll beat them next week though.

 

[devilman]

Very strange they didn't. Very strange people on here think there was no claim to be made either. Two players offside and in front of the keeper doesn't seem a problem???

 

[Bum chin]

Nobody is clutching at straws pal.

I don’t think anybody disagrees that it was a wonder strike, however the guy is an offside position (no debate about that) and also looks to be interfering with McGregors line of sight so it’s a valid question as to ask why wasn’t it checked.

Nothing desperate about asking the question as none of the commentators picked up on it either, albeit it’s a valid question.

Why did Mcgregor not go mental then if his view was blocked ? He would have been going bonkers at the ref if this was true.

 

[Chinggis_could_I_khant]

Bring back to old offside rule so we no longer have this "interfering with play" ambiguity.

 

[tazzabear]

I haven't seen it back but pretty sure the knock back came from quite a bit quite wide and definitely outside the 6 yard box. I don't think any keeper in the world is coming to get that

You’re right but that won’t stop the smarty pants “look at me, I don’t like McGregor anymore either” posters looking for a way to blame McGregor.

 

[HIHI]

Straw clutching with that. It was a great strike and we've done well with 1-0.

Would have taken 1-0 before the game!

 

[Texas ranger]

It’s a tremendous goal and there’s nothing wrong with it unfortunately.

It’s everything to play for next week and going into a home leg of a European semi final, that’s as good as it’s going to get folks.

With a bit of luck, we can take this one.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Offside player blocking McGregors eyeline

I’m sure if he was then McGregor would have gone after the ref

 

[ibrox1975]

Worth it. With VAR in the mix i can't understand why we didn't chase the ref.

Let’s make this clear all goals are considered for VAR
Therefore that goal would have been through VAR process by default

 

[scottishpoet]

Offside by a couple of yards and had to jump out the way of the shot so definitely blocking McGregors view. Would be interesting to see if they checked it.

They check all goals

 

[Rangers_2001]

I'm astonished that after all these years of VAR posters - on a football forum - seem genuinely unaware that every goal is subject to a VAR review. Quite remarkable.

Just wait till next season. People complaining that they haven’t reviewed why we didn’t get a throw in.

 

[YorkshireBlue]

Would have taken 1-0 before the game!

Me too. Especially how the game started.

Completely different at Ibrox.

 

[WDYGH]

VAR would have checked it.

It’s should have been disallowed. The guy was blatantly offside and in shagger’s line of sight.

 

[JeffreySpauIding]

McGregor wouldn't have been shy in saying something if they were obstructing his view. Don't think there is much in it.

 

[Roskilde]

Ball leaving the goalscorers foot... Offside no doubt

Spot on. Can't believe this goal stood. McGregor's line of sight is clearly occluded by the head and upper body of the Leipzig player running in front of McGregor.

VAR was asleep on the job this late in the game, and I'm gutted losing to an offside goal.
