FA Cup 24/25

Offs! United are utter crap, but they still have luck in abundance! Offside by a mile, but no VAR means goal stands!

Yard offside. I mean the FA Cup and there is no VAR, its the sort of thing that would happen to us. Had it not meant United won, I would be laughing because it was leicester City

There are loads of difficult offsides to call but when everyone is standing in a line and it's a set piece so you have a good idea when the ball is kicked it's not that difficult. Terrible from the lino.

Plus it wasn't handball for the free kick in the first place.

This is another problem with having some games with VAR, and some without. Assistant refs are used to having VAR, and hardly ever make an offside call on their own anymore. And if you're not having to make those calls, you get worse at it. It's only natural. You get good at what you practice, and when you don't, you get worse.

That is a good point.

He must have thought that Man Utd were the defending team. Their whole front line were offside.

Leicester hold their nerve, play about 3 Utd players offside but don't get the reward for that. Linesman doesn't give a simple call and Leceister go out. That to me would kill the game a lot more than VAR ever would.
