Posted this before but the whole point of offside is to stop goal-hanging

not to decide which individual blades in a clump of grass it is or isn't ok to have an armpit hair encroaching into the space above. If Teemu had been a couple of yards or even a couple of feet ahead of his man that's one thing and a clear advantage. As it was there was very obviously no advantage from the literal millimetres involved in that decision.

No, I'm still not over that one.

Good review of the match from ACN which includes this great insight into why VAR is shit (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Sep 30, 11:18:47
- Presume VAR wouldn't have intervened with our third goal? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 30, 13:29:43
  - Indeed and they started with a throw in from our clearance (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 30, 13:38:17
- The goal would have been ruled out in about 15 seconds (NCFC) - norwaay, Sep 30, 12:54:47
  - But the handball would have taken 5 mins with the ref having to go to the monitor (n/m) (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Sep 30, 13:19:17
  - they had goal line technology .... (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Sep 30, 13:00:43

        Yes, but not for the second one, for some reason? (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Sep 30, 13:08:54
        
        Yeah that’s a point (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 30, 13:18:53

        Today that goal gets given (NCFC) - SCC 28, Sep 30, 12:25:54
