They deserved to win but I felt we were denied a penalty- dunno how it looked on the replay but in real time I was sure VAR would overturn itOn the replay it also looked like VAR would overturn it.

Howe nailed it v Spurs last week but got
it all wrong tonight.
on paper it’s a dog shit XI but we do have loads of starters out.
Bar Schar, not one good performance tonight. Anderson tried.
Gordon needs to start showing up away from home.
well played Palace though.
Palace were very good.

A few weeks ago you'd have put your house on Liverpool beating Everton.

He's fucking dogger. But you can't criticise a local lad.We really need to "protect him" by wrapping him in cotton wool and keeping him safe on the bench.

What a shocking pass that was Longstaff. We've been absolutely shite here.

What's the point of VAR?
To create controversy seemingly.

I've no idea how the ref hasn't given that. Look at the view he has of it.
Fucking ridiculous that.
Yep, that level of contact is fine if both players are going for the ball or if there was already contact. That has to have been such a simple decision as the palace player has reached across the body of Longstaff for no reason other than to slow his run. Diabolical. Let's get Nottingham Forest's social media on the case.

That's surely gonna be given by VAR.
That's surely not going to be given by VAR, it's like they've been asked to make the wrong decision of late.

Has to be a pen that. If it's anyone else it's given on the spot. That's ridiculous honestly.

Anderson wins a battle of strength. Freekick to them. They grab hold of our players. Play on.
They're definitely getting the rub of the green, but can't say they don't deserve their lead.

Great movement and passing and then a shit pass Longstaff.

Well second best and that Eze is fucking running us ragged
We've got no answer to skilled pacy attacking players, particularly through the middle. Burn and Schär would have to be amongst the slowest defensive pairings in the league and we've not got a shielding midfielder to help them.

Good tackle Gordon, shit refereeing, but Gordon shouldn't have reacted for that long, obviously frustrated from the rest of the game.
-
Can't say it hadn't been coming, but poor defending with Burn doubling up instead of marking the open man.

I get the application of the rule and everything, I just think it should be there for the ‘howler’. More widely I think it interferes far too much with the flow of the game. The decision was correct though, in terms of the offside but I’m not actually clear if the official was at fault for putting his flag up or not tbh.
Edit: I thought HMHM was saying it should just be there for clear and obvious errors
Maybe that's the measure; if you can't prove the onfield decision wrong in 10 seconds then it's not a clear and obvious error and the game goes on. Minimal disruption to the flow of the game and anything that's actually clear and obvious is addressed. Drop the charade of the ref going over the the screen, just have the VAR announce the correct decision and have the audio able to be heard in the stadium and by TV audience. Simple. Effective.

I don't disagree but that is still all that is happening right now, unless the critical margin is kept secret from all but the VARs or the machine determining who is off and on then we'll keep having this conversation.
For it to stop its not about what the gap is, or when the line is considered the rule has to have a wholesale change.For sure people will still complain but now the complaint is that they're not offside because their toenail was in front of the second to last defender. This would take that understandable complaint out of the reckoning. It would br their whole boot that would be infront. Where it can still be confusing is when they consider the shoulder and head. Make the rule relate to feet as this is how players move... if your head and/or shoulder is in front of the defender but your feet are behind theirs (or in the allowable zone) then that's fine.

The thing with the offside rule, is that no variation of it actually changes anything that we all hate about the offside rule.
in line - ok so a millimeter out of line and you're offside
daylight - ok so a millimeter of daylight and you're offsidea yard off - ok so one yard and one millimeter and you're offside
Everyones variation is just moving the margin because there has to be some point where you're off vs not off.
VARs shifted the debate to shit about the lines and whatnot but we still spent 50% of every match of the day or whatever moaning about marginal offsides before VAR, nothings actually changed.
The number of cameras at the top level of the game now ensures that we are trapped in this endless debate forever.I don't think anyone will complain with any justification if there is a clear advantage to the attacking player being ahead of defenders. I'm sure they will still complain but there will be no validity to it. There should be an allowable margin of error considering that they also need to identify the moment the ball was released to determine when to draw the line. That's my biggest contention. So for example if there is less than 150mm* between attacker and the second to last defender at the determined moment then allow the goal to stand. If it's 151mm and you're still complaining then you need a new hobby.
* - Or if you really want to be generous 300mm

Of course he could have stayed on his feet, the only tackles where you can't are brutal and almost never occur in the box. You have to go down in a scenerio like that to rightfully get the penalty. Usually anyway. He was right to go down but he has to be the least convincing player when going down under contact and it's reflected in how rarely he wins free kicks. I believe it's because he's fundamentally slow, so falling over always seems delayed. We need to get Jonas in to teach him, he was the best I've seen at Newcastle at winning free-kicks.
