VAR is the worst invention to the game in a long time. It completely ruins it for the normal, match-going supporter. To have a moment like that as a Cov fan and it gets snatched away from you. Unbelieavable
I thought it was clear and obvious errors only?! Well if Haji Wright is offside by a toenail, that shouldn't be a clear and obvious error, that's an easy thing to miss. No one spotted it in real time did they.
Please Coventry, win this for the universe's karma to be restored. |  | | |  |

To every fan, manager, player and whoever else has ever gone over the top complaining about refereeing decisions, this is your fault.
I always go back to Warnock who specifically called for VAR after a dodgy offside went against his Cardiff side. There was never any thought about how it would affect the sport.
It was always a terrible idea and it's been a terrible thing. |  |

It was offside -simple.
Toenail - so what. Would you accept toe, or ankle, or leg, or I metre.
Offside is offside. VAR is excellent on factual stuff. |  | | |

It was level.
And it is not accurate enough to call anyway, because you cant pinpoint contact with the ball. |  | | |

I doubt you would have the same viewpoint if that happened to Town. What advantage has Haji Wright gained by his foot being slightly past Wan-Bissaka's? | | | |

Before the introduction into VAR that goal wouldn't have been talked about for being offside. It would have just been the good old fashioned advantage to the striker.
Still think it's absolutely daft to chalk a goal off for being half an inch offside. |  |

Absolutely no way he even gains an advantage out of this at all. Like the tweet says, this is not what football is about. | | | |

it was level by any judgement a perfectly positioned all-seeing linesman could reach. why are we looking for anything other than that? |  |

They draw the line but cannot be certain at point of ball release, it's at risk of a load of human error and judgement .
He was in line for me in real time and I don't see VAR can decide otherwise with absolute certainty |  | | |

It was not level. You keep saying this everywhere but it wasn't. He was a toenail offside. Barely anything, yes, but something.
If VAR did not exist and it had been given, would United be moaning about it not being given? No chance. But if they go down the route of making it subjective it gets messy. At the moment offside is objective.
Perhaps it would be better if VAR was scrapped. | |

Imagine pre-VAR that goal had been disallowed by the Lino for offside.
There would have been uproar, and everyone would agree the Lino got it wrong. Coventry supporters would be talking about it for the rest of their lives. We were robbed in the fa cup semifinal.
Now though, VAR rules it out. Still as nonsensical a decision, it completely ruins football as a spectacle, but at least pedants can say “well, if you look at the line you can see it is an inch offside”
They’ve still ended up with a terrible decision … and ruined the game. Wonderful |  | | |

Yes I do go to games.
Yes I would be frustrated if one like that went against town.
The offside law is about fact not a question about not gaining an advantage.
I,m perfectly happy to see a disappointed, exhausted and flat Coventry side.

That's a lot of faith in the algorithm.
Given the camera wasn't exactly in line I doubt the algorithm can be as precise as you are crediting.
It was a joke decision.

Forgive if I’m missing something here, but why do he count the attackers toenail, but don’t seem to count the defender’s hand? |  | | |

Don't care. I do care that they had to play extra time and had their souls shattered.
Now they have got to play on Wednesday, then on Saturday and hopefully will lose both games, because of the aforementioned extra time and disappointment, by which time they will be no longer play off contenders and the manager fields a weakened slide and backs off the gas a little to avoid injuries.
Excellent...... |  | | |

You can legally play the ball with your toenail but not your hand | | | |

Very true on the last sentence, don't mind it from that perspective at all!
And I get what you mean about the offside law - but in my eyes it needs to be tweaked to avoid moments like these where you have the VAR system scrapping around looking for their tiny offside margins.
The law itself was brought in many moons ago to avoid people goal hanging, and it has not yet evolved with the rest of the sport. | | | |

It's a stupid rule. You're not playing the ball with the hand at that moment, you're using your body and limbs to propel yourself forward. | |

var should involve the online official rewatching the incident at normal speed from the right angle. if on that basis they're still not sure it's offside then it's level by any reasonable human standard. drop the algorithm. | |

But isn’t the offside rule about your position on the field and not about whether you are playing the ball or not? (He said, not having read the rule book lately…….or ever actually!) | | | |

You could argue the Manure defender has the advantage as he is facing and running in the right direction whereas Wright is pretty much stationary on the half turn | | | |

When we do go up don't celebrate a goal straight away. We might have committed a foul 50 yards up the pitch a minute earlier. Can't celebrate a goal until VAR has checked it. Absolutely killing the game from a fans perspective. | | | |
