So if it’s obviously offside but the lino doesn’t put their flag up straight away, then the defending centre half clatters into the striker is it a free kick, as in theory the player was offside so the game should have stopped, or would the attacking side then be given a free kick or even a penalty for the “foul”?


The lino wants his flag putting straight up

If they don't touch the ball though then there's no need to raisr the flag? So another player who was onside runs on and gets the ball it is ok because the offside player was not active.

But surely to god if the player is making movements towards the ball, regardless if they end up touching it or not, they are influencing the play and are therefore 'active'.

It’s another example of pointless tinkering with the rules thanks to VAR . And then there’s this ridiculous extra minutes being played rule . Just leave the game alone we loved it how it was ffs

Talking of VAR did you see the blatant penalty not given to Wolves on Monday night?

One game in and the apologies are in full swing from Howard Webb and Co.

VAR is just designating the responsibility to an off field referee who still gives a subjective view, often the wrong one.

Of course it doesn't matter how many mistakes are made by the VAR refs we (well the PL) are stuck with it.

If the offside player influences how the defence react though, it should be offside whether he touches the ball or not.  I know that’s not the current rule but imo it’s what it should be.

Yep, to paraphrase Brian Clough: if you're not influencing play, what are you doing on the pitch?

Quoted from ivanosandwich
I'm always annoyed with something like the following situation:

A midfielder threads a through ball to the striker, who happens to be offside but at this point in time, only the lino knows that. The covering defender, thinking he has to make a challenge, clears the ball into the Pontoon and the ref gives a corner.

The offside player's team have gained an advantage when the ref should have given offside.


In this situation, the lino knows it's offside so should flag once the phase of play is over.

Maybe VAR ‘officials’ should have to give a reason and explain why they did/didn’t award the offence. Teams are left just having to accept the decision that has been made. If technology is to be used then it would be good to have explanations and those ‘officials’ be held accountable
