@jimuckmac@belfastDGM@AwayDaysFB I get what you’re saying but he didn’t directly interfere with play when he was in the offside position, definitely the right call made
@jimuckmac@belfastDGM@AwayDaysFB Me too, I’m a Preston fan, while it might be monotonous and dull I’m so glad the championship doesn’t have VAR, it’s completely ruining football for the fans on the stands. I also appreciate that tv broadcasters don’t care about the fans that actually turn up
@jimuckmac@belfastDGM@AwayDaysFB While I don’t know the technical definition, the ball was played to an onside player (the offside player didn’t interfere with play at that point), he then passed it to a player that was onside, 100% should stand
@jimuckmac@belfastDGM@AwayDaysFB I agree football is a mess and I hate VAR, I’m glad i support a team in the championship so we don’t have it. However by the letter of the law it’s a handball and penalty, person preference aside.
@jimuckmac@belfastDGM@AwayDaysFB With regards to the handball the rule doesn’t state anything about an attacker kicking the ball at an arm, it states that its handball if he deliberately touches or his arm is in a unnatural position making his body bigger which it was. Listen I wanted hearts to win but rightcall
@jimuckmac@belfastDGM@AwayDaysFB No because phases of play had passed at that point so the didn’t gain an advantage from it. You can’t say it was ball to hand, hand was in the air, unnatural position , handball all day
@jimuckmac@belfastDGM@AwayDaysFB I disagree with both points, he technically gained an advantage from being offside however there was more phases of play after the fact. As for the handball it was definitely handball
@jimuckmac@belfastDGM@AwayDaysFB Yeah fair enough, however there can be no complaints with that goal he was onside and it should stand. The handball the other day however is another matter
@belfastDGM@AwayDaysFB The law literally states “ a player is offside if he gains an advantage being closer to the opponents goal line than the second last defender”, he wasn’t involved with the play, the player that received it was well onside. Correct decision made even though I wanted hearts to win
