Hot take: if the ball counts as in there despite it being literally impossible to tell and looking out to the naked eye, either the rule should be changed or the lines should be required to have GLT all across the four lines.
Yes, GLT across the line would be definitive.
It’s the only way to justify this rule. Otherwise, it should be just if the portion of the ball on the ground or something, idk how it would be worded but this rule is simply untenable
Any portion of the ball can hover of the line and it is till in. That’s the rule. VAR needs a definitive angle. There wasn’t one.
Yeah so the ref lets play go on because VAR will fix it and then VAR can’t so by default there’s more leeway for the attackers
Correct, if the ref doesn’t know something definitively, they should let play go on - no matter the case.
Yes. But then we either need VAR to actually be able to make a decision, or the ref should be allowed to make it according to his best judgement, which won’t happen; so it should be down to VAR to judge as best they can instead of clear and obvious error
That’s why an extended GTL is the only best option.
I was just thinking that to your last point… crazy we can tell if the ball crosses the line for a goal, but can’t tell if the ball has gone out of play.
You know, we often talk about the dark arts, but we clearly haven’t reached Newcastle’s levels of rotational dissent
Argue more Bruno G, argue some more
Red card for dissent, we will be there
Honestly in a game like this, kinda glad we have Jorgi on the pitch to just be calm
Him and Rice together give us such a strong and compossed midfield
I love Declan Rice
What a player man
I love players who got his paycheck and rightfully earns it
BRO there were 4 minutes taken for the VAR check ONLY. How the fuck is 8 minutes acceptable?
Should be 10 MINIMUM
Just give a card to Bruno already
Insane that he doesn’t have at least one already
Havertz showing his worth there. Hopefully he can get some more balls to Eddie
When even Gary Neville thinks you’re fucking wrong
That ball is defs out lol
It is partially in. There is no definitive angle.
Nice recovery by Tomi.
The ball went fucking out
Bruno G hits Jorginho in the head. Hits Havertz with the ball. Then tries to choke Rice. How is he not booked once? Fishy stuff going on upon Tyne.
MOTM: PGMOL
So we gonna go back and review that elbow?
nope. elbows have been deemed ok today. Until an Arsenal player does it.
I genuinely wonder whether someone’s unplugged the VAR TV
It’s just Madley, assume we’ll not have VAR today
VAR signals too weak this far up north
I wouldn’t even be surprised if it was true lol
