Redmond will be our saviour 😜

After 3 touches he's tried 3 fancy flicks and none of them have come off, guy is a prick 

[davefizzy14]

This is killing the game!! Never offside, pathetic.

[Viking Saint]

That's not offside

[nta786]

It’s 2021 and the frame we are using isn’t even level with the players.

It may have been offside but again not the clearest.

[Viking Saint]

He can't score with his fucking arm

[Mr X]

Such a tight decision 

 

[LGTL]

The idea of having VAR for some rounds/games and not others makes this competition a total farce. 

[Wrensup]

Thought it was clear and obvious..... 

 

 

that isn’t clear or obvious ffs.

[skintsaint]

pretty wank looking at that

[Hatch]

Look offside to me 

[BotleySaint]

VAR totally inconclusive from what I saw of it. Really beginning to ruin the game now. Quite ridiculous.

It was.

[Sheaf Saint]

I honestly cannot fathom how they can look at those lines and decide with absolute certainty that it's offside. It's getting fucking ridiculous now.

Sadly it was KWP running a tiny fraction too early.

[Monk]

Why was KWP line drawn from his elbow?

What his arm, can't score with the arm mate

It didn't need the blue and yellow lines to be drawn, looking at the still frame with the line of the cut of the pitch he was clearly, just, offside.

[nta786]

Those lines are horrifically drawn I don’t think KWP was that far offside as depicted.

[SKD]

Has the feel of one of those days. 

[Mr X]

Offside by the width of a football boot?

[HKsaint]

Bertrand missed a sitter 

[Suhari]

Can we clone Armstrong please?

[Sunglasses Ron]

Yet another reason why a goal scored now is like 2 mini celebrations, the first because we score and then you think it might count, followed by the second if confirmation is given.

Sad thing is that both added together aren’t the same as a good old fashioned goal celebration 🙁

Not his natural position though.

I wouldn't describe a shot from the edge of the box as a sitter.

He should have done better though.

Redmond tried to attack there, ran at defence. 
Ran into traffic but no problem with that at least he tried

Tbh I thought it was offside straight away. It was Closer than i was expecting 

[BotleySaint]

Bournemouth just need to sit tight until we give it back to them or make a mistake. Just got away with one there.

[Sheaf Saint]

Why didn't Redmond slide that through to Adams FFS! 

He's such an infuriating player. Never takes the right option and just runs into trouble instead.

[Mr X]

Shit corner

I don’t watch the games live, just rely on here and the BBC. Whenever we score now I kind of treat it the same as winning a penalty and hope that it eventually counts.

Moan at him for not driving at players, moan at him for driving at players. 
 

The bloke can’t win, the agenda is clear.

Gotta be making more of our corners, we've had two and they've both been wasted.

Exactly.

IFAB 2020-2021 states the following for an offside determination:

“The hands and arms of all players, including the goalkeepers, are not considered”

These pricks either don't understand the fucking rules or they're flat out ignoring them.

He had a brilliant opportunity to play in Adams if he had only bothered to look.

Decided to take on 3 players instead.

Adams would have missed anyway. No doubt you wouldn’t have pissed your pants if Adams missed a sitter though.

Come on Saints. We're better than this lot. Time to take the lead.

Just makes this season even more infuriating. We'd have had 4 or 5 more goals if they actually followed the rules.

To be fair they changed the law this season (midway through) that the sleeve is now considered as offside. 
 

KWP is wearing long sleeves, so I don’t know how the judge. Either way, no advantage gained from it, so shouldn’t be offside imo. 
 

pathetic rule being highlighted by VAR.

[SKD]

Bournemouth are absolutely shite. 
 

You just know this ends 1-0 to them. 

[obelisk]

JWP bursting through the lines there but the ball went backwards. Needed a braver pass.

We are basically the same as normal. No changes from Brighton. No fresh impetus from a week off. Arguably worse given the corner kicks.

Judging by other examples eg Bamford for Leeds I think it was, it’s the former eg Stockley Park don’t understand the rules. That’s what happens if you let ex-posties run games. Ex players from the lower leagues please trained through the levels who actually understand the game

[obelisk]

Ref needs to show B'mouth a yellow ot two. Some of these fouls are awful.

Adams may or may not have missed. But we'll never know because Redmond chose the wrong option, like he does every single time he gets the ball.
