*** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Sporting CP ***

[seaside spur]

that's not VAR, that's not knowing the laws, he headed the ball backwards

It is, because no var it's a goal as onfield officials gave the goal. No var , no official to fudge it up.
Nobody can celebrate anything now.
I didnt even get excited when we scored because the majority of goals seem to have some sort of check that goes on for minutes.

that was awful, kept a clean sheet with him on though, that's better than the other lot managed

Yeah it was all down to Royal

 

[Mulletperm]

Can whinge about VAR all we want, the bigger issue is that we were poor for large parts of the game against an average team and needed a last minute ‘goal’ to ‘win’ that game. Gil did more when he came on for twenty minutes than most others the whole game, the way we are playing is a huge concern and I’m more bothered about that than whether some guy has drawn his lines right or not….

I'm bothered by both.

Royals body is irrelevant. The only thing relevant is that it's headed backwards, so Kane can't be offside then. It's a massive fuxk up by whoever was in the VAR room!

Well, judging from the pic above, kane's boot is in front of the ball there, so offside.

 

[Kandi1977]

Doesn't matter if the ball goes backwards or forwards from the pass, if you're offside then you're offside. If it deflects off opponent that is now irrelevant, the player has to make an attempt to play the ball.
Anyway, we didn't deserve to win. Improved second half against a very young, unexperienced team. We were pathetic.

Wrong. You can never be offside from a pass going backwards.

 

[Robbo]

who knows, Lino might have flagged, they are told to keep their flags down now and let the VAR team check

Well at least that would be an honest mistake and not the collective act of mind blowing stupidity and incompetence that VAR served us today.

 

[MKSpur]

Var should have a 60 second limit else original decision stands

I don't think you are correct

nah, there shouldn't be a limit, take days if you need it, being right is the only thing that matters

So your saying the correct decision was made by var?

If you are behind the ball you can't be offside.
If the ball travels backwards to a player that player must be behind the ball, so on side.

Source?

Everything I can see online points to the opposite.

 

[Gazza Dazzla]

That’s onside, just seen the replays on BT. The lines they’ve drawn look dodgy as fudge!

what point of the ball have they drawn the line from?

 

[Kandi1977]

I don't think you are correct

Well I am.

 

[billyiddo]

I've only seen the still image - how did the ball end up with Royal, is he not offside when he headed the ball?

But Kane was in front of Royal

deep cross, well timed run

Royal was onside, ball in travelled a long way.

 

[seaside spur]

Need a draw in Marseille. Would have been nice to rest some.

It would be even nicer to get through which I doubt we wil now.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

That’s the key
Said that since day 1

 

[glasgowspur]

That camera angle is from the side so perspective is distorted.
