No VAR?

Obvious foul not given before that goal.

 

[Klovn]

Of course he doesn't check VAR with Real Madrids goals

Fucking Real Madrid

You abandoned Dortmund when it was 0-0 and joined Ajax game when Ajax were leading 1-0?

[Bianconero_Aus]

WTF. I thought Dortmund were supposed to be good.

The gods of football tricked me. Sux

They were the better team in the first half, completely fell apart in the 2nd.

Was he fouled there? Missed it.

Its not Real's fault that Ajax (and all Dutch teams really) are forever chokers.

That was pathetic from them. I reckon a lot of their young players are ridiculously overhyped/overrated.

 

[Dantes]

Congratulations, @Dantes

Thanks. See you in the next round lads

There was a foul in the build-up, like the goal we had disallowed by VAR for a Licht foul last year.

A very obvious foul.

 

[Klovn]

Was he fouled there? Missed it.

I would say so, but thats not the problem, he didn't even check and he has checked everything with Ajax tonight

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Fucking LOL @ anyone thinking that Madrid was going to lose this one.

 

[Klovn]

Thanks. See you in the next round lads

Can we ban for jinxing, Mods?

 

[AFL_ITALIA]

Thanks. See you in the next round lads

Easy there, haven't even started the match yet

 

[Post Ironic]

Maybe VAR rules are different in CL from Serie A? Things like fouls in the build-up can't be returned to and checked?

 

[DAiDEViL]

That was pathetic from them. I reckon a lot of their young players are ridiculously overhyped/overrated.

Bigger problem probably was that they are pretty unexperienced. They looked done after the first goal.

check "interfering with an opponent" part. "in the opinion of the referee" isn't exactly about geometry, it's all subjective.

Those are the "special case" rules, when the referee might be on the fence about what to do. But if there's a regular offside situation without any corner cases, then referee just follows the simple geometry rules, there's no room for him to say "in my opinion...". On the other hand, basically any handball situation involves referee's opinion about what happened, and it's always subjective.

In the case of disallowed goal there was a clear offside line for a player who stayed right in front of the keeper and prevented the goalkeeper from playing because he stayed right in front of him. The offside line is not debatable, neither is the fact of preventing goalkeeper from playing due to their mutual positioning. Some people here wrote that Ajax player didn't have the chance to disappear from the spot, but that's exactly what I'm talking about - player's intention didn't matter, it was just a geometry.

So, yes, strictly speaking, offside situations also might involve some subjectivity, but those are rather rare cases. Much more often it's about referees not seeing offside or seeing it when it didn't happened for, again, geometry reasons, but that's not about the rules but rather about their professional skills.
