West Ham has had several VAR decisions go against them in recent games against Freiberg(A), both Burnley/Villa(H), and Newcastle(A). On another day VAR could've not given Wolves a penalty and allowed the Emerson goal.

It's alright in your book until that is given against your team. There is no deliberate obstruction there as the keeper had zero chance to save it. He was wrong footed.

Villa scored against Arsenal couple seasons ago and it was disallowed for offside because Barkley was standing in front of the line of sight. It was the same situation as this goal because Ramsdale was NEVER going to save it. It was right in the corner miles away from him. So this isn’t the first time this type of thing has happened.

By the same logic; if a defender of an attacking team, who has never scored in his professional career, had found his way into the box with no support against 6 players of the defending team, proceeded to get fouled in the box, you could say he was never going to score anyway, so No Penalty. It does not matter if Fabianski might not get to it, Chirewa had no business maintaining his offside position and impeding the Goalkeeper. If I were a Wolves fan or player, I would only lay blame at Chirewa's feet.

​@@darreno2428 I can understand why they gave it but if you look at the header and fabianski position he stood flat footed. It was a pin point header that gives keepers no chance. I'm sure Moyes and all West Ham fans would blow a gasket had that been the other way around. But if they going to give that then they must be consistent For me anyone in an offside position should be given full stop and end of debates. I enjoyed the old days of flag up no matter.

So basically you can stand in front of the keeper blocking his line of sight on direct free kicks and if it goes well in the top corner where the keeper would never of saved it does the goal still stand

It’s the consistency element that’s the issue

Feel bad for Wolves as a neutral, the epitome of what’s wrong with VAR can be summed up in their season. I’ve lost count how many bad decisions they’ve been on the end of.

Dean Saunders doesn't understand the rules then. Not surprising for a talksport pundit.

Sadly footballers, pundits, managers need to know the rules... What is wrong the whole thing is a mess... But that goal was offside. Don't blame the ref, blame the player for being asleep

Absolute rubbish. He's obscuring Fabianski not allowing to even make a dive and is directly obscuring the header, so no goal. Wolves given a penalty that shouldn't have been and Emerson goal ruled out for no reason apart from accidentally landing on the defender's heel. Wasn't a foul, it was just where he landed after scoring the goal. We also missed to clear chances to score and easily deserved to win despite a very poor first half - all over them second half.

If the player wasn't there fabianski probably would have punched the cross... So then you get into phases etc but ultimately offside should be offside forget interference if you change it then it's just lazy players getting punished... Atm the rule is too ambiguous

I believe it is offside as the law is defined. The trouble is, in every game someone stands on the keeper. It's clearly off side, how can you not be interfering with the keeper?

They do it because you can't be offside directly from a corner but most players either step back onside once the corner comes in or steps away from the keeper so not to impede him. Antonio is brilliant at doing it. Look a Ward Prowse goal, the ball is coming directly towards to Antonio (can't be offside) so he has the right to stay where he is. If the corner had gone near the penalty spot then Antonio 99% of the time moves back onside or away from the keeper in case a shot goes towards goal. The wolves player actually moves himself into an offside position, right in front of the keeper, after the corner has been taken. It's 100% offside.

It never ceases to amaze me how many players, coaches, and pundits do not understand basic laws of the game. Did the header ball end up in the corner of the net? Absolutely but that is completely irrelevant and something a lot of people do not appear to understand. What is relevant is the Wolves player standing directly in front of Fabianski in a clear offsides position obstructing him and preventing him from not only seeing the flight of the headed ball but preventing him from being able to react in time to even attempt to make a save. It is a clear offsides and is not a difficult decision at all.

Agreed, except Fabianski himself has said that his sight was not impeded and the goal should have stood. Anyone who has played football knows that given the position of the play, that an obstruction of view is unlikely to have taken place in that instance. In my view VAR has taken a situation where there is a minimal chance of obstruction having occurred and given the benefit of the doubt in favour of disallowing the goal when it ought to have been the other way round.

He's offside and standing in front of the keeper obstructing him. If it were down the other end and had been given against Wolves Gary O'Neil would be fuming.

Football was fine for over 100 plus years without it. Money & consequences has changed our game completely for the worse.

More Dean Saunders idiocy. There is no grey area. Yes he wouldn't have saved it but he's in an offside position blocking the goalkeeper's sight of the ball. There's no wiggle room for could of , would he have saved it. The law is stupid but then a hundred other football laws are equally stupid. As soon as the ref was called to the monitor his ONLY thought was what is the decision that would give him the least grief and that is strictly applying the rule and a big tick from PGMOL

Howard Webb has to go along with the rest of the corrupt refs ( Certain teams should take this lot to court ) PL title decided by refs not teams cannot be right

By the letter of the law it’s offside yet anyone who has played or knows the game will say goal. When did IFAB take over our game, they bring new and bonkers rules in each season and then the referee gets the blame but he is following the laws of the game and has no choice. Until football people start helping with the rules and laws the game will continue to get worse and worse
