Liverpool v Wolves F.A Cup Tie

Have seen the goals highlights of this game, for the life of me, I cannot understand how Salah's goal was allowed to stand and yet Wolves 3rd goal was disallowed.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Errrr nope and nope... if those are the correct rules then I just don't get it anymore.... how to complicate a pretty easy rule.... only in Association Football

Salah was a light year offside

Salah was onside because the defender deliberately played the ball. But he was in an offside position when the original ball was played. He gained an obvious advantage. The defender had to play the ball because he was behind him. If that is the rule, then it is bollocks.

The third Wolves goal was disallowed because the corner taker was allegedly offside. But only the linesman saw this. And the linesman was not in line with the last defender. And there were no other camera angles to prove otherwise. In a world class stadium. In 2023.

All a bit contrived in favour of Glowing Teeth's team innit?

Re: Liverpool v Wolves F.A Cup Tie

Both decisions were correct according to the Laws Of The game.

For Salah's goal the defender deliberately headed the ball as a result of which a new "phase of play" started meaning Salah wasn't offside because the ball had been played to him by the defender. It is an utterly ridiculous rule but that's how referees have been instructed to interpret the rule.

For the second one, the Wolves player may have been inches offside. It's not possible to tell from the camera angle. The linesman flagged believing he was offside. He may have been onside but it was very very close and even if the linesman was wrong it was by no means a terrible decision from the linesman. VAR didn't have an angle from which to use their technology so VAR didn't get involved. So the lino's decision stands. The only issue here is that I can't understand how VAR didn't have an angle to use. That's poor. But that's not the officials' fault.

So both decisions were correct based on the tech available and based on the laws of the game.

"VAR didn't have an angle"

Hard to believe that that hasn't been the case many times before, yet they've always dropped those lines onto the pitch to convince us otherwise

It's simple really. There are two things at play here.

1. Liverpool are always favoured by officials
2. Said officials all all bent, incompetent or both.

Wolves will get justice when they play us.

As I have said before nobody knows the rules any longer, and there lies your answer.

Re: Liverpool v Wolves F.A Cup Tie

It's ironic that the best thing the Wolves defender could have done was to leave the ball to go to Salah and hope the ref or VAR gave the offside to cancel out whatever would have happened.
It really is asking a lot of defenders to think things through like that in the split second available in these situations.
Also it is a complete contradiction to say you should all play on as if there is no off side and at the end of the play we will tell you if it is offside, but also by playing on you can play an off aide player on side and allow him to score.

Whoever changed the rule so the Salah goal could be allowed to stand needs fucking executing

Re: Liverpool v Wolves F.A Cup Tie

No one changed the law but it is a subjective judgement as to whether the Wolves player's touch is a "deliberate action". I can see why they allowed it under the law, What I cannot understand is why there doesn't seem to be any pictures of the Wolves offside. Forget VAR for a minute, but they have multiple cameras to cover a live game but I have not seen a single picture of the header out to the corner taker with the corner taker in shot. It is as if they don't want to show it because it is such an obvious mistake.

That may or may noy be true, but the if they were given the other way, there would have been no problem. The common thread between the two incidents was that they went in LIverpool's favour. There was an element of interpretation, so even with VAR the decades long favouritism can still be perpetuated.

Amazing in that every other sport that uses that type of tech' they normally find the `angle'.... both decisions absolutely and utterly stunk

"VAR didnt have an angle" - how convenient!!!!.

Its Offside FFS - how do you not have an angle for an offside decision?

Bent as arseholes.

Not even clever about it any more

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Salah not get a decision

Re: Liverpool v Wolves F.A Cup Tie

Saw it in another game a while back where they drew a line across the field, but the camera angle was so far away you really couldn’t tell if someone’s toe nail was over. They still gave offside though and sure they looked at 3 other pieces of that area of play trying to find something.

Fucking corrupt.

Re: Liverpool v Wolves F.A Cup Tie

He has dry hair and keeps rolling around on the floor the floor when simulating so someone on here called Salah a cheating Roomba.

Whoever that was can take a bow.

Re: Liverpool v Wolves F.A Cup Tie

First offside rule is stupid...
Salah was offside...stop game no goal...
Defender heading ball should not change this..

No VAR pics for second is VAR incompetence...

Wolves hot screwed twice...

Salad was in an offside position when the cross was put in but the defender touched the ball thus putting Salah back onside. Legitimate goal in my book.
