Let’s look at the facts.
In the villa v Leeds gam VAR intervened twice and both corrected incorrect on field decisions.
Thats a 100% success rate.
Fact.
Also quite amusing to the see the foaming mouth frenzy on social media about United’s first goal today. Laws were applied perfectly and, despite what everyone seems to think, VAR did not intervene - the referee made his decision and VAR did not correct. I thought it would stand when I saw it real time but could understand why the Assistant flagged for offside. Great bit if refereeing.
i thought we might have been a bit lucky not to concede a penalty when Haaland went down like a dynamited skyscraper but I haven’t seen it again.
Let’s look at the facts.
VAR is killing the game.

Not seen it but general opinion is Rashford was offside.
You are off side if you are affecting play. Both defender and goalkeeper reacted to Rashford's position. Therefore by the laws of the game, he is offside.
somehow I managed to accidentally change channels last night and saw the ManU/ManC segment when the 3 goals were scored. Now I know nothing about football really, but I thought that both ManU goals should have been declared offside, which is what would have been before big money ruled the game
If the Goalkeeper’s view of the ball is obscured by Rashford then it is offside, I suppose var will declare that whether or not the Goalie’s view is obscured is subjective
Learn The Laws Derek.
Maybe even watch the incident as based on that comment you haven’t.
In fairness they specific Law and it’s four relevant points in this specific case were detailed on MOTD, clearly none of the four points were ‘triggered’ in this case. Then the pundits still,said it was offside.
it’s a bit like being caught doing 60 in a 40 then denying that the 40 limit never existed and even if it did it wasn’t relevant.
As I said I didn’t watch it & in the picture the Goalies position cannot be seen however I am going with the majority & saying both goals were offside.Learn The Laws Derek.

Yes, much better than “it’s subjective”Impeccable logic.
What I will say in all seriousness is if it had been Leeds then it would have gone to var & been disallowed.
Leeds United: Donnohue claims LUFC were denied penalty
Journalist Joe Dunnohue has claimed that Leeds United were denied a penalty in their Premier League clash against Aston Villa.

No it Wouldn’t…the particular incident was not reviewable by VAR; nobody is arguing that Rashford was in an offside position (which is not an offence in itself) it is whether he invoked any of the four specific reasons to rule him offside (which is an offence) in this circumstance. The referee decided he didn’t, end of incident.
For what it’s worth Dermot Gallagher said he would have given offside as ‘it was the safest decision‘ but acknowledged the referee on the day was within his rights to allow the goal.
No chance. There can be contact that isn’t a foul.Actually denied two penalties, at first it looked like Gnonto dived but replay showed his feet being clippedLeeds United: Donnohue claims LUFC were denied penalty

i have to say Gnonto looked a real talent.
Rodrigo had arms all over him pulling him to the ground, Gnonto had his heels clipped & the defender had no contact with the ball, two very clear penalties.
Rashford is a Man U player so obvioysly he was interfering with play.
