Watch the replay.Originally Posted by Mac76
When the attacker hits the ball the other Dutch player really isn’t that close to the ‘keeper, he’s not in the ‘keeper’s eye line. The keeper couldn’t get there, he failed to dive because his legs were too far apart, he wasn’t getting there. Nothing to do with where that player was.
I thought he was excellent
So consistent, without hesitation he fucked up every French attack he was involved with
Yeah I don’t get why he’s playing, I said the same about Kante but Kante has been France’s best player over the two games
I do get it but I just think that's too close, albeit it I'd like the Dutch to have scored
The not interfering thing was supposed to be when you've got a guy offside right over the other side of the pitch, not a couple of yards from the goalie, for me it's 50-50, yes ok because of what you say I'd have thought it just about ok if it had stood but equally can see why it didn't
I just couldn't believe it when he didn't shoot when in front of goal
Apparently the rule is:
“The attacking player is penalised for preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the goalkeeper's line of vision."
By that rule I don’t see how the goal can be disallowed, he’s clearly not in the ‘keeper’s line of vision. He was a bit close to the ‘keeper I guess, although I don’t believe the ‘keeper was getting there regardless. Overall I like the “interfering with play” rule, I like any rule which favours attacking play. The metric for me is whether the goal would have been scored if the offside player hadn’t been there. Last night I reckon it would have. Obviously you have to make a judgement call in these situations.
ok, that's fair I just think there's got to be some influence on the goalie if someone's standing a few feet away, though I get your favouring attacking play point
but if them's the rules then it's clear our great English officials cocked it up, no surprise there...
It’s not just whether they got the decision right, they took forever over it.
One thing which has immediately been noticeable in this tournament is how quick the decisions have been made. Not with our lot
Oh the time it took was a farce and all very PGMOL
I'm still a bit mixed on the decision, it feels like maybe Dumfries doesn't quite fit into any of the criteria (I've read the full UEFA offside rule now), but at the same time his general presence is surely hard for a goalie to ignore, it feels like the officials made a d3cision in the spirit, rather than the letter, of the law
Anyway, whatever, as you sae the time taken showed up English officials good and proper
Danny Murphy is so shit
Howling for a Georgia penalty when it’s never one in a million years
Pelanty to Georgia!
