The red line is beyond the blue line thems the rules
I’m gutted and it’s wrongheaded but he was legitimately off under the laws of our game
The red line is beyond the blue line thems the rulesNo he wasn’t. He was level. The VAR lines showed that. I know you’re the referees union Pete but it was a mistake. I have eyes.

Liew is a great writer. There’s a piece he wrote last year about going to the cricket with his dad that made me cry.Not sure if this has been posted already (sorry if so)

Another issue which seems to be overlooked. Their goalkeeper booked for the second time during the penalties. What is the logic the booking is not deemed as part of that game, but carried over? Or am I being illogical in my thoughts?

It's a stupid rule. Plus as it had been in the news this week he knew he could do it. Collins also got booked a 2nd time I believe.
But onana should have been booked multiple times from about 50 mins on.
Tavares is an unsung hero for that game he allowed MvE time and space to overlap and also put a good ball in for our first, if he’s not a winger he can most certainly become one

I think we were lucky to get the penalty, and unlucky to get the offside.
It hurts, but what a day, and the celebrations for the "winner" will live long in the memory regardless.
Season may be over but let's pack the stadium on Wednesday. Hopefully have my voice back by then..!

I’ve always said he’s not at the level and he’s not a winger but last few weeks he has been greatI thought he was fantastic when ge came on and really gave them problems.

Yeah I get that, I'm trying to be sanguine about it. Was gutted yesterday and probably would've preferred it ending at 3-2 which feels nuts. Today I'm just proud and feel like we won in a way, the man u fans I know are certainly more miserable about it than me!The difference for me is the offside is overturning the on field decision and the pen isn’t.

I was there yesterday and the in 87.87 cup final beats it as it was the final.
Just frustrated still. Woke up feeling fine. Called into morning huddle and was met with a Utd fan and it all came flooding back
Chelsea would probably disagree with that after Saturday! But yes, inconsistency is and probably always will be a frustrating problem, at least for the foreseeable future20 years ago those were lucky pens, but they are given every single time at every ground in every league now.
A key point is that they keep showing just this picture of the defenders foot on the line.No he wasn’t. He was level. The VAR lines showed that. I know you’re the referees union Pete but it was a mistake. I have eyes.

What they don't show is his arm pointing towards the goal. Wright wasn't doing the same.
As such, at the nearest point to the goaline will definitely be ONSIDE!
