Now don’t take that attitude with me. I’ve listened to it again and I hear the same things. He doesn’t say what you think he said. 

The decision wasn’t up to him. It wasn’t his to make.

Take off your red and white striped glasses and accept the truth. Armstrong was comfortably offside and in the goalkeeper’s face.

I sort of agree that if you are offside in the box you are interfering, but the big issue for the fans is consistency. Arsenal's second against us was worse than this goal but is given, today arsenal get a pen when the keeper hits a player who had just headed the ball whereas against the dippers their keeper wiped Armstrong out without getting the ball and they even get the free kick.

They need consistency of these are rules of the game.

I'm afraid that there is complete consistency. Don't go against the interests of the top sides as the media will make a big deal of it. Easier to go against the sides at the bottom. God forbid being involved in a big team being knocked over. Take the easy way out.

They won’t necessarily be the same where a subjective decision is involved. There are plenty of circumstances where a decision could go one way or the other. There are a lot of Laws which state “in the opinion of the referee”.

You don't seem to be allowing for that in your very black-and-white analysis of yesterday's decision.

It's not about his view being impacted. The keeper was positioned in the centre in anticipation of an AA shot. If AA hadn't been there he would've focused 100% on Archer and moved to his left as the cross came in. So I don't blame the VAR for judging that AA interfered with play.

The Arsenal goal against us should've been chalked off for the same reason.

I'm still waiting for the day a Goalkeeper's flailing save is interpreted by a Referee as the Goalkeeper throwing the ball into his own net, I'm sure the PGMOL have a Man Utd fan just itching to use this much underused nuance.

Don’t be silly. There’s a perfectly valid case for concluding that Armstrong was interfering with play and an opponent. To say that he wasn’t is stretching the point more than somewhat.

And in any case the linesman had flagged for offside meaning that without VAR’s intervention or existence the goal wouldn’t have stood anyway.  Under VAR, a technical, yet correct ruling was made.    Without the technology, the goal was chalked off immediately.  It was a gut wrenches, but not the big Club bias some are suggesting.

Many like me are angry that Arsenal score against us with an offside player clearly impacting on Ramsdale's decision making and it is given yet ours is ruled out for something similar. Different rules for different teams seems to be at play.

Not sure it matters - VAR would have checked and should have made the same decision as we suffered on Friday. Webb really needs to be looking at these inconsistencies and doing something about them.

I’m not sure whether the Lino put up his flag late, (which does happen).    When the VAR came into play I was just hoping that the inches fell in Archer’s favour - which they did.   I don’t think anyone watching the game live even considered the possibility that AA had attempted a back heel invoking that technical ruling of off side.

Shocking coverage from Sky to not show any visuals or any commentator reference - can’t believe it myself as Sky;know what they are doing. Production manager would want camera on the lino with flag up.. Regarding late flags that is to let the chance play out in case they may be wrong and player incorrectly pulls up - not applicable in this case.

I'm still angry about that decision on Friday night when it should have stood. The last three games now we have been robbed. No doubt we will get a bloody apology from the PGMOL about it but what good is that. Absolute joke.

Onto the game itself first half we weren't aggressive enough as RM said. And we didn't create too much. Second half we were so good. A joy to watch. Dibling is just phenomenal 😊 Fernandes class 😊 I thought Jack was outstanding in the second half, blocking shots, making last ditch tackles, proper captains performance alongside THB 😊 also big credit to Lumley who I thought was very solid, deserves to keep his place for Weds evening 😊 Flynn too was great and a lovely finish 😊 KWP excellent too 😊

The bar was set on those decisions by the Arsenal game, and that's fine - but on Friday it was moved significantly.

Massive inconsistency.

Have the refs ever thought about getting together occasionally and discussing how they do things rather than putting their own individual spins on every incident?

Just a thought.

No. I don’t think so. 
 

I don’t remember the refreee visiting the screen so there was consistency with VAR in both goals. The VAR decided that neither decision was a clear and obvious error, so stayed with the onfield decision. 
 

This has always been my issue with the current set up. The referee could make an error, the VAR agrees it’s an error, but because it’s not an horrendous error, it’s not corrected. If a Lino flags for something the referee has missed, the referee goes with that decision, the Lino doesn’t evaluate how bad the error was. VAR has the added protection of sending the referee over to the screen. Why on Earth can’t  VAR just say “I think you made an error, have a look at it”, rather than having to decide how bad the error was first?

I agree with pretty much everything that you have written, but thought that Downes had an awful 1st half. Plus a special mention to Ryan Frazer who hasn't had a positive impact on a game this season but I thought he played well when he came on.

This is the point Russell was trying to make. That the on-field decision carries weight... and that because the on field decision was that he was interfering, that the VAR has to consider whether it is a clear and obvious error. When everyone in the world can see that that this was pretty much a carbon copy of the Arsenal one, and many others, that was given the other way.

So because of all this "Clear and Obvious" bullcrap, we end up in a situation where two identical issues get opposite results. And all because of the on-field ref's decision.

So it stands to reason that, IF the on field decision is more important than simply getting the correct outcome, then we may as well pack all of VAR's subjective powers in, and go back to simply having the ref and linesman officiate the game.

A year in the championship has shown me that the game is much better for not having VAR at all, we still argue over the same stupid refereeing decisions, only it takes longer for it to happen, and they still don't get it correct.

FWIW, I totally understand why he was given as interfering. I think the arsenal one should have been called off too. However, at the same time, I also think it's reasonable to say that Verbruggen won't have positioned himself any differently had ArmA been onside, or even not there at all. We can't simply assume that if Arma wasn't there, that he will have positioned himself at the far post - no way a prem keeper leaves his near post open to defend a possible shot from the far side. So in that respect, Arma's presence doesn't really impact anything. If we're now saying that the ball passing near anyone who's offside in the box, because he's affecting the keeper, then there should be a lot more stuff being ruled out for this.

VAR just needs to get in the bin; or they need to fix it fast. And until then, I'll hope that the Champ don't adopt it.

I’ve a hazy memory of the flag going up late rather than immediately after the ball was in the net.
 

The sooner they open up access to the communications between ref, lino, 4th and Stockley Park the better.

Was the on-field decision (the lino) for Armstrong interfering, or was it because he thought Archer was offside. I think it was the latter.

What no one seems to have mentioned is that the view from behind the goal which was shown just one showed the keeper was at least a yard to the left of Armstrong when he did his little back flick, so from that angle I don't think Armstrong was interfering. I think it was very harsh to give offside once Archer had been declared onside (which was difficult to call live).

As @saintant has already pointed out, why is there more than one correct outcome? He's either interfering or he's not.

If the Arsenal one is adjudged to have been "correct enough" to say he wasn't interfering, then it should also be fair to say that Arma's wasn't also isn't interfering.

Irrespective of what thresholds need to be met according the current set of VAR rules, we seem to be in a scenario where we can see two almost identical scenarios and have the laws applied differently. And that, imo, is not the correct result.

According to SKY, the on-field decision was that Armstrong was interfering (20s in)

my opinion, according to the rules, is that Arma was offside for trying to play the ball; therefore offside. But I do agree that there are good arguments for him not actually interfering. My biggest frustration is that we've now been on both sides of the same thing, and been shafted both times. Just like the shirt pulling against Leicester; same thing, different result.

But where did they get that information that the on-field decision was Armstrong interfering, the linesman simply put his flag up (I think), how can it be told for which player he put his flag up? Or was it the ref that made this call, nothing to do with the linesman? If the on-field decision was Armstrong interfering why did VAR the proceed by looking whether Archer was offside? Surely if the ref said, Armstrong, VAR would have looked first at that incident. It just doesn't make any sense what happened.

To be honest its all a complete load of bollocks. Offside was always about whether a forward player was gaining an unfair advantage, and should never have come under the minute scrutiny of VAR. VAR is killing football, not least when it takes 4 or 5 minutes to make a decision. I'm pretty sure that if I were new to football today I would not have fallen in love with the game like I did 60+ years ago.

I don’t agree with the decision either but I have some sympathy for checking the Archer offside first as that would’ve been objective rather than the subjective world of pain they had to go to with the Armstrong decision.

The Arsenal one is a separate incident in a separate game with different officials. With something as subjective as interfering with play or an opponent then there will always be differences of opinion. That’s the way that it is.

Armstrong ran across the line of the cross and very nearly touched it. He clearly attempted to play the ball but how much that affected any opponent is a topic for endless discussion.

Is that two apologies we've had now - didn't we also get one for the penalty not given against Leicester? 

If so, then that's PGMOL admitting that they've cost us between 3-6 points so far, depending on how you think the Leicester game would have panned out if we'd been given (and scored) the penalty.

Absolute jokers.
