Hey @F1, when I did this sprint race it was meant as a meme and wasn’t a serious suggestion. Please reconsider, I don’t want to be counting lights in the tunnel again xx
@lawnsower@IAmDidge I tweeted this during the match before the VAR footage was even shown to be checking Enzo and the commentators were entirely focused on Haaland's positioning
@avappleyard@AOArena The whole thing is embarrassing, the only saving grace is that it won't get the national shaming it would if it were a more mainstream sport. At the same time this is the kind of first impression that for first-time attendees will put them off ever coming back.
@JoshuajHolden@PommyAFC Based on your own argument Josh, both the things you’ve just tweeted cannot be true. Your 2 points that contradict each other, they didn’t even say it was wrong. In fact Webb came out after the game and said the laws of the game supported the onside decision.
@Ldkav04@MUFCsz@NGKia6@PommyAFC They didn't though. Howard Webb who was the chief of PGMOL refereeing never said it was a mistake. He actually said as the laws are written and define the decision was supportable.
@MUFCsz@NGKia6@PommyAFC Are you forgetting the Fernandes goal from 3 years ago in the exact same fixture, where Rashford was making a run from an offside position but didn't touch the ball, so was deemed not to be interfering?https://t.co/zPOv629orD
My initial tweet was about the fact that the commentators didn't understand how it was possible that Haaland was onside from Dorgu's foot. I agree it should be offside by the letter of the law, but there have been other similar incidents like this where the goal has stood in the Premier League.
@PommyAFC On goalkeepers vision being blocked it has been, although wildly inconsistent. Defends actions less so, even though by IFAB standards it probably should be offside. The league has often done their own thing
