Bluewolf 7,161 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I will watch it later unless someone has it now??? A Bayern handball was ruled out with VAR last night and that was fairly accidental but ruled out none the less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Blue 1,899 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Sky has just shown the offside, it came off a Wolves player before the hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eco 3,008 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Wolves clearly scored on a goal that was both offside AND a handball. But it'll stand because too many people bitch about VAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLS isn't superior to the English league in ANY way but this. VAR is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That angle is the only one I could find. I agree that it was impossible to spot in real time by the officials, even from other angles, but the replay showed conclusively that it was off his hand.

Bluewolf 7,161 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 It is a tough one to call.. If they just kept the rule simple it would be applied to everyone no matter what and there would be no confusion and everyone would know where they stood.. If it comes off the arm or hand accidental or otherwise before going in the net then it's no goal, The rule could be applied and it's nice and clear for everyone... no moaning, no groaning just get on with the game... Where it all seems a bit harsh to have that rule and apply it might be in say a relegation or title decider and a player through no fault of his own gets hit by the ball on the elbow arm/hand really quickly and it deflects favorably and goes in... You can only have one rule really if you want to prevent confusion... Then of course we wouldn't be talking about it and this place would shut down because everyone plays fair and by the rules and it's no fun anymore..

Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,613 Posted August 25, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted August 25, 2018 Far better entertainment than I was hoping for from this game. And to think that people thought Wolves were going to get a master class in embarrassment. Also really shows that you can get something against City as well. This league truly is unpredictable.

SirBalon 2,692 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 This puts reality back into the Premier League and leaves open avenues to explore for the rest of the division. Manchester City are going to concentrate massively on the Champions League this season which means it could make things interesting once the fixtures start coming in thick and fast.

The Palace Fan 3,402 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I would have given the goal. Whilst it hit his hand there was no intention unless he did a diving header like a salmon. What a cross by Moutinho too. That said, I would have given it for offside, and VAR would have ruled out the goal either way. Manchester City getting the wake up call early they need. Not every game is going to be a formality and they'll have to be as sharp as last season to stave off Liverpool this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
