Here's the rule according to the laws of the game

"A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately plays the ball, including by deliberate handball, is not considered to have gained an advantage, unless it was a deliberate save by any opponent. "



The first goal in this game (1:10) is an example of where a goal was overturned because of this, he plays it just as deliberately as the defender tonight, who lifts his knee up slightly and is clearly trying to block the header.


Agree. We should have gotten the goal. Wrong call by VAR.
 
i don't understand the rules?

if he heads it along the path of blue arrow then i think that is off side.

if he heads it backwards, cannoning off the defender into kane's path along the path of the yellow arrows, i thought that wasn't off side
It would only be not offside if the defender has deliberately played the ball in that area.If its a deflection/block that makes the ball randomly go towards kane, then its offside.
 
The semi automated system UEFA use should reduce the error rate and achieve a more accurate contact point. Did VAR stick with the semi-automated decision, or re-draw the lines?
Yep, even the way the line is drawn down from the ball, the left hand side of the line is not coming from the end of the ball. The right hand side of the ball on camera won't even be the furthest forward part of the ball because it is spherical. Do they account for that. If not how can they decide?
 
We don’t qualify this is 100% on Conte

We had the easiest group in the competition

3 fucking farmers and we still have to win on the last game to qualify ffs

Banter club and fraud manager
Mate, Sporting Lisbon, Eintracht Frankfurt and Marseille are hardly fucking Farmers!
Look in the history books!
it's that kinda arrogance and disregarding of anyone YOU haven't heard of that makes us sounds like cunts!

They might not be the best in Europe, but I hate this fucking 'Farmers' reference....
It's so tired, and dripping in arrogance as to be quite nauseating!
