Looked a perfectly good goal.

Well that was bizarre

fidelcastro · Post by **fidelcastro** » Sun Nov 20, 2022 4:09 pm

Love to know where the offside was.

But we can't upset Qatar, can we?

gandhisflipflop · Post by **gandhisflipflop** » Sun Nov 20, 2022 4:09 pm

It was ruled out for an Ecuador goal

Milltown1882 · Post by **Milltown1882** » Sun Nov 20, 2022 4:09 pm

VAqataR. Absolutely phenomenal, that was about 8 yards onside.

Newcastleclaret93 · Post by **Newcastleclaret93** » Sun Nov 20, 2022 4:10 pm

Was it offside from the free kick?

Murger · Post by **Murger** » Sun Nov 20, 2022 4:10 pm

Can’t see the offside there.

Qatar weren't ready.

Perfectly good goal. Kind of sums up this World Cup. Could the ref have been offered a few quid

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Sun Nov 20, 2022 4:11 pm

Was it it ruled out for offside or the dangerous high boot (not that it was either)

Definitely not. No offside at any point in the move. Can only assume incorrectly disallowed for foul on the keeper.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sun Nov 20, 2022 4:12 pm

May have been offside when the first ball was played across? Looked level with the keeper but I think there was only one defender beyond. Would be good to actually see it back.

We'd already had corruption in the awarding and build up to the tournament, but I thought any on field skulduggery might have taken longer than two minutes.

Ampth7 · Post by **Ampth7** » Sun Nov 20, 2022 4:13 pm

I’m looking forward to hearing the reason for why that was disallowed. I literally have no idea why!!

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sun Nov 20, 2022 4:14 pm

Wouldn't worry about it... Ecuador'll probably get another.
Qatar look like they'd struggle in the Bananarama League.

Newcastleclaret93 · Post by **Newcastleclaret93** » Sun Nov 20, 2022 4:15 pm

Sounds like it’s been disallowed due to a foul on the keeper

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sun Nov 20, 2022 4:15 pm

assuming the initial header was won by the Ecuadorian player then the guy in the middle offside, however the ball doesn't go directly to him so they completely screwed that up

Apparently there needs to be two players back if the keeper moves beyond the defenders.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sun Nov 20, 2022 4:17 pm

The graphic showed the player challenging for the header was offside, at the point he played the ball, not when it was played to him??

Shouldn’t matter anyway as Qatar look like a pub side.

Carport · Post by **Carport** » Sun Nov 20, 2022 4:17 pm

GK was well advanced so I think it might have been that there was only one defender between Ecuador player and goaline

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sun Nov 20, 2022 4:17 pm

actually, they just showed it again - the decision is correct

Correct there saying his knee was offside

Ampth7 · Post by **Ampth7** » Sun Nov 20, 2022 4:18 pm

Maybe all that bribe money bought them a set of ‘VAR- get out of jail’ cards whereby some Qatari royal can simply press a button to overturn a decision/goal?

ClaretEngineer · Post by **ClaretEngineer** » Sun Nov 20, 2022 4:18 pm

Waiting to see how VAR rule this out.

Burnley Ace · Post by **Burnley Ace** » Sun Nov 20, 2022 4:18 pm

Think their goalie might be the weak link!!

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sun Nov 20, 2022 4:18 pm

Scored.

correct hence why the guy in the middle is offside - looks like they gave it for the guy who was near the keeper though who at the point of contact was offside, no idea if he was when the ball was played though

Qatar are way out of their depth

Anyone else waiting for how VAR were going to overturn the pen?

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sun Nov 20, 2022 4:20 pm

Ecuador struggling to break down this stubborn Qatar side.

that's being harsh on a few pub teams

The Qatar keeper flapping a bit like Muric

fidelcastro · Post by **fidelcastro** » Sun Nov 20, 2022 4:22 pm

And we thought Muric was bad on crosses!

Murger · Post by **Murger** » Sun Nov 20, 2022 4:23 pm

Qatar look the shambles most of us said they were.

Padiham2022 · Post by **Padiham2022** » Sun Nov 20, 2022 4:23 pm

Still waiting for the pen to be ruled out

Milltown1882 · Post by **Milltown1882** » Sun Nov 20, 2022 4:25 pm

I’d fancy Burnley against Qatar based on this first 20.

No sh!t. Their players all play for the same couple of club sides in the Qatari league.

Doesn’t seem like Qatar are used to playing in this climate.
