Dean Saunders SLAMS VAR After Wolves Were Denied LATE GOAL Against West Ham 😱🔥 

And Sheffield united away Never a pen in the last minute and Bowen should have had one moments later

You make some good points

I agree. At least 6 recent games where it has gone against us. ​@@curtisalleyne3710

What's that got to do with it!..so have we

What does West Hams past decisions have to do with it ????

Exactly what I thought…standing in an offside position bang in front of the keeper is….erm …offside! I really don’t get the outrage from these pundits!

Theres a 2 foot gap between him and the keeper have a look ​@@DK777-t6q

​@@DK777-t6qthey do it to try and stay relevant.

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. The corner that JWP scored one could claim Antonio impeded the keeper ever so slightly but it would have been soft so they let it go.

There are several grey areas with VAR and this is one of them the system needs reviewing and improvements need to be made

@kevinpillay6103 Nope if it was our team would still say the same thing. The problem is the grey area with the rulings. I agree it's BS and is a result of applying the rules to the absolute letter without considering common sense and what's best for football.

The only argument is that he was in his view. The keeper has said he wasn’t and you can see he wasn’t. So it’s clearly a goal.

Today's rules are so open to interpretation, we need top referees to step up and officiate with a degree of common sense. I'd gladly take £200k pa for a job with no responsibility.

Or if a defender was never getting back to make a tackle, no offside. Just like Ian Wright has done when one went in Arsenal's favour and said it was the correct decision, Saunders will change his tune if one goes In Liverpool favour.

Can’t be offside from a corner actually so doesn’t matter if he’s affecting the keeping from going to punch the ball. He’s only offside once that header happens (which I agree is offside).

No he wouldn´t! 🤣 Fabs would´t come out there to punch that from a corner. We got away with a poor decision yesterday!

​@akwamarsunzal lol learn the offside rule

@@bluecheesey701 You mean the one that says if you aren´t involved in the play, you arent offside? That one you mean? 🤣🤣🤣

@@Hhammer OFFSIDE POSITION WAS FROM HEADER , NOT DIRECTLY FROM CORNER.. IT DOES MATTER, BECAUSE HE STANDS IN OFFSIDE POSITION

Knocks him over. Getting desperate. 😂😂

It would have been soft but we have seem those given as fouls before. He does impeded ever so subtlety. The header though was embarrassing. Fabianski was completely flat footed with zero chance.

@@kevinpillay6103never seen a foul given to a keeper for Antonio did. Seem players put hands on them or jump into them get given but not literally standing there. Doesn't say about how much chance a player would have had, otherwise we could say with some offsides that the defender was never getting back to make a tackle anyway or a rugby style tackle on an attacker is allowed because the attacker wasn't getting to the ball anyway. If Chiwera wasn't there could Fabianski have had a clear path the make a challenge for the ball? Yes Was he in line with ball and keeper when header is made? Yes Did he take 2 steps back to put himself between keeper and ball? Yes Was he in an offside position? Yes. These aren't subjective or matters of opinion of what might have happened, they are clearly factual factual as we can see in the replays The only thing subjective is if the keeper could/would have saved it. We've seen them saved before with instinctive dives from keepers, so why not now? Its offside.

Lol mate no he doesn't Sa gets wrong footed, and back pedals but can't get there in time. The wind definitely caught the ball. Stop scraping.

​@@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.

you know your football, and not biased at all. Can you referee rest of West Ham fixtures this season please

It’s not a mistake. It’s the offside rule.

Yeah someone needs to stop them making correct decisions and just go by what clueless fans and pundits say.

Nope, because he's not offside. If the Wolves player was onside then it would have been a goal no matter where he was standing. Hope this helps. Take note of the difference, one is onside the other is offside. If you need the offside rule explaining then I'll gladly help.

You can't be offside for a corner

@@dicaniowhu Not true! If you are offside and you put the ball straight into the goal then, yes, you cannot be offside. But thats not what happened here. However, as the player was not involved in the play, he is not offside.

It's not the corner it's the header from the corner where the Wolves player is standing in an offside position. Actually thought although harsh, it was pretty clear cut.

@@phoeberowland7372 As he was not involved in the play, its not offside. Yes, its harsh and, if the same were given against us, we would be pretty pissed off!

What does West Hams past decisions have to do with it ????

IT DOESNT MATTER, ITS OFFSIDE WHETHER HE MOVES OR NOT..ITS OFFSIDE FFS

It's the law more than the Ref here, the law needs changing as by the letter of the law the ref was correct.

@@phoeberowland7372 Every BBC pundit disagrees and as those are ex professional footballers, you have to take their opinions into consideration.

@keithevans4535 But it's the law that gave grounds for the review, isn't it? Otherwise there would of been no grounds to even suggest a VAR review.

Answer these questions. Was he in an offside position? Was he standing (1 foot) in front of the keeper? Was he directly in line between ball and keeper when header was made?if all those answers are yes then why isn't it offside?

There's been plenty of bad VAR decisions against your club, our club (Wolves) and lots of other clubs. It needs to get sorted out for the sake of the game! It's an absolute disgrace some of the decisions made by VAR this year! No consistency and the rules/laws need to have ambiguity removed. Way too many grey areas or impracticalities contained in the current laws!

Dean Saunders is trying to keep himself relevant. Leave him alone.

Exactly, O'Neal is just a professional moaner

It's so dumb. Pundits, managers and fans here moaning about the decision when if you read the law of the game it's the correct decision A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched* by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by: preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision

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.

Who did that?

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.

@@darreno2428 I couldn't sum it up better darren. Its when the ball comes back in and the player is still on the keeper. I genuinely think the decision was right yesterday.

He wasn't blocking his view you can see the keeper watching the ball he would never get to the ball CLEAR GOAL

It looked soft when I first saw it but as Emerson ran in he accidently trod on Semedo's ankle as he did so, made it a free header. It was an accident but a foul

@@poncedeleon759 nah man, it’s a contact sport, semedo went down so easy, if people are going down that easy they should be punished, give the goal, soft game

10000% a foul if it wasn’t why didn’t David moyes or anyone else mention it you divvy

@fullclipzzz1278 @poncedeleon759 You asked for an explanation and were provided with one. At first, it appeared a really soft goal to disallow. But if you watch the replay and focus on Emerson’s right fight, he accidentally stands on the defenders ankle/achilles as he’s jumping to head the ball. By doing that, Emerson prevented the defender from fully jumping to head the ball. It was a foul and the correct decision.

@@Photosoflife spot on mate thank you

Always Wolves 🤦‍♂️😂 quickly becoming the new Liverpool with your victim mentality. Every team has had poor VAR decisions (this one is 100% correct by the rules) go against them.

Sure until it happens to your team right. Then bin VAR.

@@kevinpillay6103 I guess you don’t follow West Ham and the calls that go against them. Quick reminder, WH conceded a pk and had a goal disallowed just like wolves did. No, VAR shouldn’t be binned. The human eye isn’t capable of picking up everything. Other sports are more transparent on replay. Perhaps have something like they had in the Women’s World Cup. The referee explained the decision.

what a stupid thing to say

@@dawaring169 no a stupid thing to say is "I don't know why it's not been allowed" and Saunders would 100% be saying it's correct to give it if it was Liverpool who it happened in favour of. Just like Ian Wright said it was correct when it happened in favour of Arsenal last season, even though there was 10 yards between keeper and offside player, not 1 foot in front. 🤷‍♂️.
