who are tuning in for the first time get to watch a 0-0 snooze fest instead of a more exciting open game. A real embarrassment now that we fans have video replay and can see the egregious mistake after its over.

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

That was my impression

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

byuguns55

They need replay for that call alone

Garn

12/6/21 9:29pm

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

Happy As Larry

12/6/21 9:30pm

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

shoganai

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

Here is a photo of a screenshot.

Ouch. That's rough

whoneedscorners?

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.

brj8

12/6/21 9:41pm

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

whoneedscorners?

12/6/21 9:47pm

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

cwilke1

12/6/21 9:51pm

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

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

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

yahoo1211

12/6/21 10:36pm

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

Bluforever

12/6/21 9:40pm

Not even close…lol

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

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

coug10278

12/6/21 9:41pm

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

shoganai

12/6/21 9:41pm

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

coug10278

12/6/21 9:42pm

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

He is at a poor angle to see clearly…the far defender looks deeper then the near

With some time, someone with some photoshop skills and some distance measurements could make out exactly where on the

And bear in mind the ball has already left the kicker's foot, and Tucker was

Happy As Larry

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.

12/7/21 4:30am

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

The only argument I’ve ever heard defending the soccer offsides rule is

Powerbait DPM

12/7/21 8:24am

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

Benfica1

12/7/21 8:38am

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
