The Chelsea Dagger All-American

I agree they should be erring in the side of onside, but this call is the most

acceptable to me. While this call had the biggest direct effect on the outcome, I think it's also the least certain. As I said, with no VAR, there's some uncertainty and human error, and this is human error I can live with. This wasn't Frings clearing the ball off the line with his hand…

So not to pile on, but just went back and rewatched the offside call.

well now I'm more pissed than before...which is like only a little bit

They need replay for that call alone

Garn

I agree. Split second hairline decision by line judge. Tough break

12/6/21 9:30pm

Impossible to fairly judge from that angle. Nobody knows but the AR and he made

I didn’t notice he was about 10 yards behind the play on the line

VAR would help the sideline judge feel more comfortable keeping his flag down in

Common sense would dictate ... almost never occurs in soccer

Ouch. That's rough

12/6/21 9:38pm

Looks close enough I’m fine with the call. Not blatant like the 2nd yellow.

The Chelsea Dagger

12/6/21 9:40pm

Uh. That’s not how offside works.

I know how offside works. I’m just saying this was not a blatant error like the

If you take away a goal and you're not entirely certain it's accurate

it was a blatant error. The side judge guessed and guessed wrong. For close

One should NEVER “guess” that way. If you are guessing, keep the flag down.

it totally sucks for the sport. not only was it the wrong call, now new fans

If it's not clear you don't call it. But yes second yellow was not given because

Not. Even. Close. Brutal call that determined the game.

Bluforever

Not even close…lol

AR isn’t in the right position. Makes the call because BYU got a great jump.

12/6/21 9:41pm

I missed that going to and from son's bball practice so 1st time seeing...

12/6/21 9:41pm

Nearly impossible call even if you're standing on the line. It's completely

Not only factor but look at Tucker's right foot and then defender's right foot

coug10278

Wow. Yeah, that's too bad. Obviously onsides from the screenshot.

12/6/21 10:05pm

This is also a splt second AFTER the pass, so she ws MORE onside than this shows

Chasicle

12/6/21 10:21pm

That's not even the best angle. The near head-on angle is more revealing. No

RebelScum

12/6/21 10:43pm

That photo actually makes me think she is offsides

Boring

12/7/21 5:19am

Interesting. She’s clearly onside in the picture.

Chasicle

The ref that called it was pumping up FSU’s GK before PKs.

Corn

12/6/21 9:37pm

I saw that too. Was probably arranging her cut for after the game.

Bryceo19

12/6/21 9:41pm

Any screen shots of that? I turned it off right after the winning shot and went for a walk

DrBYU

12/6/21 9:45pm

Saw that too, thought it was strange that a side judge would be partial enough

Please pile on. It was nonsense.

yahoo1211

12/6/21 10:34pm

Foudy said by a shoulder she was offsides. Doesn’t it have to be entire body?

gp232

12/6/21 10:39pm

No. But that was her being kind.

One of the many rules that makes Americans disinterested in soccer.

Meh, but... no worse than the backcourt rule or shot clock in basketball. Or

Offsides actually opens up the field to counter attacks. Defenders will always

Benfica1

Didn’t we see last night how the offsides rule prevented a breakaway?

Powerbait DPM

12/7/21 9:22am

You didn't see the space in front of the player? Well, there is a lot of video.

Benfica1

12/7/21 9:26am

Yes there was a lot of space… but play was stopped to prevent the breakaway

Powerbait DPM

12/7/21 9:33am

Makes sense if you've played, coached or watched soccer. Think of the backcourt

Benfica1

12/7/21 9:41am

Haha, I don’t get it. Cherry picking and fast breaks are not illegal in bball
