Premier League Gameweek 29

Since Kane didn't touch it was he still offside? I imagine that if he headed it the flag would go up. Otherwise the foul is before? I don't know this for sure.
 
So what suits us more?
A draw or a spurs win ?
(And I wonder who is more likely to have a bad finish of the season amongst those two)...
 
And then there are still people who are against VAR.
It has it uses for sure but I'm kind of waning on it myself as well these days. It looked good at the WC but I fear that was a small sample and maybe we got ahead of ourselves. It will be a work in progress for sure seeing how you'll still have humans in charge.

yeah, same happened with City at Shalke, it seems a stupid law to me

It was offside in either case. He was affecting the play (Mustafi).
 
How the feck has Xhaka escaped a yellow? 3-4 times he should have been booked.
 
I followed Schalke vs City game, Schalke got a similar penalty. According to the FIFA rule, if an offside player is fouled then penalty is given.
Which would make sense, but the rule says opposite. The VAR decided it was a pen in city-schalke based on that.
No it doesn't.

The rule is
  • an offence is committed against a player in an offside position who is already playing or attempting to play the ball, or challenging an opponent for the ball, the offside offence is penalised as it has occurred before the foul challenge
I don't know why people keep saying the opposite if they haven't read the laws.
 
All we need is for the result to remain the same or spurs to win!

But the guy in that situation was nowhere near the ball and hadn't become active. Kane was closest to the ball and was going for the header, thus making him offside.
 
I still can't decide if that pen was soft.

Think the ref made the right call, but by a small margin.

Think it was definitely a foul. Defenders can get away with a little nudge in those situations but Mustafi timed it poorly and put too much into it.

That's exactly what I was thinking, Kane didn't have any influence on the ball at all. Mustafi just shoved him.
I think the offside law needs to be revisited, as since VAR came in etc everyone's getting confused over what is and isn't offside.

As for this one, I'm confused to whether it should be or shouldn't be. Could be argued Kane affected play but could be argued he didn't so it's a hard decision

I would say a draw, really any result if OK. Spurs win, it hurts Arsenal, Arsenal win it brings Spurs back to the pack. A draw, both drop points.
 
Rose now having to play in central midfield because we have no midfielders. What a joke.
