VAR and disallowed goals...

[AdamSmithSO]

Hello (admins, please feel free to remove if not allowed), we are looking to get the view from real Leicester fans not just Arsenal ones as this will change the outcome of the results!!

 

Were the ref and VAR right to disallow Lacazette's goal yesterday? 

 

Apologies for the intrusion but we are keen to hear what knowledgeable fans think rather than just what the papers or TV are saying. Link to our 30-second Speedy Poll can be found here > https://sportingopinion.org/daily-football-opinion/

 

Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts!

Yes but for no other reason than I utterly loathe Arsenal with every fibre of my being, and my dad finally has justice for Rodney Fern's disallowed goal at Highbury in 1971.

You've come to the wrong place mate. 

[mikey_b]

do i think the goal should have stood? yes

do i care? no

did holding punch the ball off ndidi's head a couple of seasons ago that would be a pen to us and probably 2-0? yes..karma

 

[RonnieTodger]

Probably not, but Pawson missed the most obvious second yellow I've ever seen for Bellerin, who then nearly scored 5 mins later.

I think we need to know their reasoning before we can fairly answer.  I've seen a lot of focus on Xhaka 'blocking' Schmeichel in which case it's probably a poor call, but for me Aubameyang and Xhaka are both interfering with Justin's positioning/decision making. Harsh but fair imo.

I'm more concerned about Slabhead's chokeholds.

[Scotch]

At first I thought the goal should have stood but the more I saw it the more I thought that he definately interfered with play. 

[Jimbo]

You cannot be in an offside position, practically stood on the goalkeepers toes, a yard from the goal line and not be classed as interfering with play. Correct decision for me. But let's not forget, and this keeps getting overlooked, VAR did not disallow the goal last night, the lino did. VAR only agreed with the decision. 

[Spiritwalker]

I would say any player inside the 6yrd box should automatically be classified as interfering with play.

so annoying when the narrative becomes about VAR disallowing a goal when it didn't - happens a lot in the media  

[PaulW]

If a player can be declared offside during a build up because a fraction of his anatomy is deemed (after much discussion) to be fraction over a  line drawn on a monitor screen, then two players standing way beyond any defensive players other than the goaiie in the goalmouth, (one of them actually in front of the goalkeeper) MUST be offside.....surely!

[Captain...]

The linesman thought it was offside VAR didn't see a clear and obvious reason to overrule and neither did I.

 

But I get Arteta's frustration, that ball was going in regardless of Xhaka and Aubameyang, Kasper wasn't saving it and Justin wasn't getting back. Xhaka's presence caused Schmeichel to move but he was onside when Shmeichel moved so I get the argument it should have stood because the nuances of the offside rule are unclear and poorly defined.

Yes.  Unfortunately for you, when an in-swinging corner comes into the box, every opposition player in the area is interfering with play.

[Vulpine Victor]

With two attacking players standing just in front of the keeper ( within 2 foot) in an off-side position they are bound to be interfering with play. As someone more qualified than me said, “If they are not interfering with play, what are they doing on the pitch?”

 

[Countryfox]

I’m behind VAR but can see it’s a long way from being perfect ...   the wrestling hold by Maguire and Pickfords X rated tackle are two massive glaring errors that are totally unacceptable ...   what the fvck the VAR muppets were looking at (if they were looking!) ..  beggars belief.    We could actually doing with someone just watching tv coverage and pointing out something they may have missed ..

Rough day?

[Aus Fox]

I actually cannot see how anyone is complaining about this being disallowed. There were two Arsenal players clearly offside!

This was the easiest decision I’ve ever seen.

Every day's a rough day. Maybe I should be less stressed. It's not his fault he's an Arsenal supporter but I believe I have a point there, somewhere.

Xhaka's movement quite clearly changes Justin's actions.

 

It's a 50/50 really, one of them you're pissed off with if it goes against you and you can't understand why.

Yes because Mesut Ozil is a tw@

[shailen]

If it was the other way round I would have hated that being disallowed so I do have a little sympathy but then again it's subjective as to what is considered interfering with play. We'll never know if Xhaka's presence had an impact on the goal and the difference it would have made had he not been there.

C'mon, there's no need to sugarcoat it. Tell me how you really feel.
