Kane is off but the pass hits Sporting. Emerson is playing the pass backwards so I don’t think it’s getting ruled out, but who knows?
Yes they showed the redline when the ball was on his head. Offsides doesn’t work that way. That would only be Kane, but defender played the ball to him.
If it takes three minutes, you better 1) get the moment the ball is hit right, and 2) be clear it is offside within 60 seconds. If you’re quibbling for 3+ minutes, you’re full of shit.
It was Kane who was adjudged off. The play off the Sporting player didn’t reset offside. And shouldn’t really? Idk
He was on when the pass was hit but drifted off while it was in the air? I still can’t get over the fact that Conte got sent off when we’re going to face a game we have to get a result from in an incredibly hostile environment. Just brain dead.
You’re right. I’m just trying to make sense of it because it seemed like Emerson was the one called off?
Lose to Marseille and either Frankfurt win or Sporting win and we’re done. I guess even a Sporting draw would sink us in that scenario based on H2H.
So I have two issues with that call. IMO it was way too close from that angle for them to overrule a goal. They have no way to know exactly when that ball hits Royals head and exactly at what spot when it is that close…then I am not clear why the defender playing it back doesn’t matter?
That’s my point. They are being exact about something that is absolutely impossible to be exact about.
it was an absolute bullshit call. If that's the way they're going to judge offsides in the WC there's going to be wars fought over this shit.
I assume the defender playing the ball is being ruled incidental and not that they just forgot to check.
Gotcha, so the line still justified nothing for me especially since the ball was blurred and depressed on his head which means there was a split second that occurred before even that contact was made. Unless they had some other image that we didn’t see.
Btw, Chaos Beatle was clutch, if we have a need to play 3-4-3 before Kulu/Richy are back, fucking start him.
Afternoon, GK, has Unai “greasy book-version of Severus Snape” Emery docked Gryffindor any house points yet today?
