It’s absolutely horrible. VAR should have a casual glance at it for anything blatant, and unless it could be clearly overturned from that glance, the ref’s decision should stand. The offside rule was brought into existence to stop goal-hanging, and should not be used for this kind of shit.
As mentioned above, those lines look incredibly suspicious, and as someone who works in software, the deference to the technology as being a perfect all-knowing Deus ex machina makes me chortle so hard that a snot bubble came out of my nostril.
That deadset had everything. The timing of the run and somehow not managing to stay in his own half, failing to finish and roll the ball into an empty net on his left foot having rounded the keeper, then inexplicably taking it on to a much tighter angle and allowing Reddy to come back and dive on it. Park level hilarity.
Western Suburbs are looking up and about unfortunately, some really tidy footy and rapid counter attacking. Lord knows how Muller isn’t a starter in this side though unless his body isn’t up to 90 mins.
I think it’s because he is more of a winger rather than a #10 and with Robinson preferring to go with a front 2 and wingbacks there’s not really a spot for him.
Maybe we could do a swap with them, Muller for ABJ?
Yeah, the powers that be for this, as well as the Bulldogs-Panthers game in the NRL, should hang their heads in shame. Especially with the latter because apparently there is at least minor flooding very close to the stadium.
