VAR big side bias 22:20 - Oct 20 with 2756 views | redrickstuhaart | Once again. Man City get the win (good from our perspective). But what utter bollox. The bloke is a mile offside, in front of the keeper and even gives him a good shove to put him off balance. It was rightly disallowed initially. That decision can be debated but WAS NOT OBVIOUSLY WRONG. It should not be interefered with, by their own fecking rules. Same as yesterday. |  | | |  |

Did he gain an advantage from being in an offside position? Not just about the moment of the header. Given that he gave the keeper a good shove, and was then in the keeper's path, the answer is plainly yes. [Post edited 20 Oct 2024 22:25]

He didn’t give the keeper a shove though, if anything the keeper should have shoved him! Silva did his job perfectly. It is about the moment of the header because he wasn’t in an offside position from the corner, and neither was he at the moment of the header as he wasn’t interfering, clearly.

It is about the moment of the header, because he's clearly onside until the header, at which point he's nowhere near the keeper's line of vision or obstructing him. Too many people outraged over things they don't understand. |  | |  |

I dont think it is obviously wrong. VAR should not be involved. but always seems to be when a big club needs a decision. See yesterday, and our missed pen against Man City.... He is in the keeper's domain at the time of the header. Keeper is plainly occupied and bothered by him. That said, I agree on further watching, that the shove is not whilst he is offside.

VAR big side bias on 23:17 - Oct 20 with 2393 views | FrimleyBlue | I thought it was a spot on call. Wasn't offside when corner was taken. Keeper actually moved him more than he moved the keeper. Then when header was made he was clear of the keeper and there was no issue. What you're asking for is offside for someone who's just offside not one that's actually interfering with play. Any interaction he had prior to the header is null and void ad he wasn't offside in that phase of play. |  |

They got one view out very briefly which was very misleading, from the Man City attacking angle, you can see he wasn't in his eye line at all, be it he may have been momentarily offset on the back foot slightly I don't think he stops that without the push either frankly, he didn't have time to react to it Wolves would be raging if they did the same and didn't get the goal, let's be honest about it |  |

They did get one similar incident disallowed last season, and of course now people trot out the stupid consistency argument while ignoring the fact that both incidents were different. Similar but different. |  |

VAR does that already though. First or second game of the season, ManU v Brighton I think - ManU 'scored' a late winner only for VAR to disallow it because an offside player touched the ball before it went in. The ball was going in anyway, the offside player could not stop the ball from hitting him. Should have been a game in my opinion, but VAR said no. This post of course does go against the OPs title |  |

For me, it is not about the offside or not, I agree he is not interfering with play at the time the header is made, the issue is why is it ok for strikers nowhere near the ball or action, (in an offside position), to be able to just 'back into a goalkeeper'! putting them off? Surely a goalkeeper, quite a key position on a corner kick set piece, should have better protection than that? |  |

How could he not be offside if he touched the ball? |  | |  |

I also think they way they are interpreting VAR differently this season I get the impression they weren't overly keen to undermine ref's original decisions last season. I have to say, I thought the penalty was the right call but I'm not convinced it would necessarily have been overturned last season, even though it wasn't a penalty. |  |

Sorry, thought I'd made it clear. He WAS offside, but the ball touched him, on the goal line, before going in. It was going in anyway, in otherwords, he was not interfering with play (as per this OP), so why disallow it? |  |

But the rules say he was offside, you can't just discount rules because of a players poor positioning! The player made a decision to place himself on the line in the way of the shot. The ball touched him, which IS interfering with play, regardless of whether the ball was heading in or not. |  | |  |

Because he touched the ball in an offside position. Touching the ball is the very definition of interfering with play. Whether or not it was going in is irrelevant. |  | |  |

VAR big side bias on 14:45 - Oct 21 with 1373 views | OldFart71 | If Town had scored that goal and it had been disallowed I would have been steaming. However as I have said on numerous occasions VAR is no better than a referee giving decisions because if the officials watching a screen are biased it's no better than a biased ref of which there have been many over the years. The only way that VAR can work is by being run by technology that has the same outcome every time given a certain set of circumstances so a handball has to have certain attributes to it to be awarded, offside, pens, red cards etc and is only used if officials are unsure. Otherwise their decision is final. No that doesn't do away with bad or suspicious/controversial decisions by officials, but it does do away with the same on VAR. |  | |  |

If he wasn’t interfering with play, what the hell is he doing on the pitch? RIP Cloughie. |  |
