I think it was a very complicated situation for officials and I can't really blame them for the decision they took even if in my own opinion I feel it was a wrong decision but based on the numerous offside rules that are currently in play and may soon be removed the next season it becomes more confusing to tell when a referee is making the right decision or not and at such you wouldn't know if they should be sanctioned or not.

I agree. Even as a Barca fan and even as I said previously, that the tiny small margins should always be given benefit of doubt to the attacker. It is a tough call to make, but especially if there is doubt, and 50/50, you should actually award the on field referee decision first of all. Remember, all these things are assistants, referee is always the first call, IMO.

But enough about it, lets get on with it. We don't need VAR to cloud our game. Hope Flick keeps his head on and not lose it like Xavi. The goal wouldn't have guaranteed we won or even got 1 point anyway.
I believe Hansi Flick would have gotten over those dramas, he seems like a very gentleman to me and I like the way he handles issue of this sort unlike how the likes of Jose Mourinho, and I know he wouldn't let what happened against Real sociedad affect the psychology of his players and that's why he hasn't issued any negative statements about the referees ever since and am quite impressed with his sense of humour.

Just as I was asking about a crystal ball my team lose lol

Flick has been really good at keeping away from media and drama but even he got drawn into the VAR debate last night. Don't care if he was right or wrong, I hate using VAR as excuse and anyway, we would have not guaranteed won the match even if the decision went different.

Real Madrid and Ancelotti do be smiling.

An unexpected part of the problem with VAR is that those who analyse the results of VAR can be biased. Have you seen the scandal unfolding now with one of the referees in the Premier League who was caught hate-speaking about Liverpool? Incredible stupidity on his part, but the worst thing is that many wrong decisions made by him based on VAR were immediately found. As always, the human factor adds to the problems.
Take a look https://x.com/The_Forty_Four/status/1855984660146160081?t=Q-7sSl_ehe_ZNH8_cIivJA&s=19
Yeah, I saw these news about referee. But when it comes to offsides, there is no way to be biased as there is now way how you can interpret, especially when you have semi automated offside technology.
That Lewandowski offside when you see replays from different angles and then that 3D replay with Lewa fingers ahead it looks so weird andindeed more similar that it was dedender's leg. Such things can happen when VAR system and cameras isn't calibrated properly before the game.

Well, actually, there is a huge scope for subjective interpretation here. As far as I remember, in the latest edition of the rules, the arm is not taken into account at all when determining offside. "The boundary runs along the lower part of the armpit." Even here, looking at the situation from different angles, it can be interpreted as +-10 centimeters in one direction or another. In the case of legs, where every millimeter is determined objectively, everything is simpler.

Wow, what a read. Can't believe refs would say such things while being recorded. Crazy!

But... Honestly I think its okay to have opinions about who's a cunt and who you hate but of course as a ref you shouldn't be saying those things and isn't it a rule that refs must declare the teams they support and don't support?

For me, I always would rule offside that is like 5 cm difference as positive to the attacker. You can't be ahead of the defender, but if it's fingers or boots or crotch or ears, come on.

I'm a big fan of VAR, but I saw on Twitter today (I don't know if it's true or not) that VAR "added" a defender's boot to Lewandowski's boot, which put him offside. At the same time, Lewandowski's hand was "added" to the defender's hand. This looks very much like neural network hallucinations, are they really used in VAR?

In EPL a few seasons ago I can't remember but shoelace from someone and IIRC Lukaku's crotch was marked by VAR to be offside.

In La Liga, I think the system is semi automated offside, so its different. I have no arguments, but clothing parts and small things like fingers and boots, come on. Lukaku didn't ask to be born with a huge asset, is it his fault?

Norway had to remove VAR for a while because it was so ridiculous.

But anyway. Moving on, Barca better not be too relaxed.

Yes i forgot to mention it was you + saint at top trying to build the gap, its more like a way to prevent the run to happen  Wink

OK everyone we have to stop them. Tell me how to do it though. Last night Las Palmas again did an upset, its like there are teams who will lose to everyone easily 90% of the time and win one game every now and then.

Is there a way to see in crystal ball if this happens? Its the only way to beat these corrupt leaders Wink

KTC is building a strong gap up in front, i dont want to see another season with a guy running in front so much away of the rest of the field (unless it's me ok?) this already happens the alst year when jeremy cooked all of us in this pool hahaha.

Is 3 points a big lead? With 26 rounds to go?  Cry
I would like it if it were so, but I think everyone understands how current results can change in just one round.
I am glad that I won the yellow cap, I will try to realize it in the best possible way and beat my previous record.

Is it just me or am I just seeing all the same names in the top season after season lol Or is this just some memory glitch of the matrix where we feel like the same guy is winning everything!

I'm still IIRC zero in all the seasons in this pool, which is a continual shame for me, as La Liga is supposed to be my specialty, at least in my mind  Roll Eyes

That means, I’m on a net positive for the entire season already, nice to get the yellow cap giving that I was close to not making my picks on superbru this week due to how shitty I’ve been doing lately across all pools.

I’ll just keep dropping my picks regardless of how it keeps turning out…

Nice going buddy Smiley I know I put a lot of not nice words for Superbru but the format all the pools in BTT use in Sportsbet competitions is actually beautiful. You get half the fee back immediately, and then every round you get the chance to get the full amount back.

Bet it and win on anything bigger than 2x odds and your in net positive.

That means something to play for every single round no matter your position Smiley
