UEFA has decided to mess about with the handball law again apparently. Some new disaster incoming no doubt.

I was just bout to post bout this. He literally pointed to where he wanted the ball and that made him offside. Plus i thought because you cant score with your arm it wont make you offsideWow. Just seen images of the Bamford 'offside'. Absolutely shocking. What the fuck have these bureaucrats done to the beautiful game?
The implementation of VAR and these fad rules has ruined this game. It's getting less enjoyable and watchable. Bin the whole fucking thing. I'll go back to shit refs and dodgy linesmen.
Oh dear...watch Leeds disallowed goal against Palace
Bamford - who was clearly onside, had his goal disallowed as he pointed to where he wanted the ball, and his hand was adjudged to have been offside.
football refereeing is totally and utterly fucked
VAR is now in the hands of the monster raving loony party.
mental
oh dear - it was his hand and forearm at the very mostOh dear...
You do realise top of the arm is now deemed legal to score
Read the rules - it’s very clearoh dear - it was his hand and forearm at the very most
Patrick Bamford's goal disallowed against Palace. Leeds on a rampage "because only the arm with which he indicates the passage is over the line".
What do you think? Was it a real advantage?
I just feel folk like me who were initially all in favour of VAR have been duped. No way would I ever have voted for this slow, forensic analysis of offsides. All the sane ones among us wanted was for the VAR to have a quick look at a goal then judge if it's offside to the eye. No fucking lines required, if looking level give the goal, etc, but yet again common sense goes out the window.

In Morata against Barcelona the Var canceled 3 goals with millimeters on one foot etc.I think it’s the worst offside call yet. Pre VAR it isn’t offside and shouldn’t be now. If that was against us we’d be going mad.
