[Kashmire Hawker]

With it bouncing of Fabiniho's knee, what's the justification for disallowing that?!

 

[Parkfieldswolf]

Can anyone explain that please? He looked offside initially but the actual goal he was clearly not offside what is this rule with two defenders?

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

How ****ing long was that!

Quite long

LiVARpool

 

[Oh Robbie Robie]

Would have been instantly disallowed in the Premier League. And Liverpool would be given a penalty.

Not sure why it's disallowed, clearly comes off a Liverpool defender. Not a deflection, either, he comes sliding in to clear the ball. Unless Benzema was offside on the initial cross (I don't think he was), not sure why that was disallowed.

Precisely... they have ruled it out because it wasn't a deliberate touch but as you said, he slid in to get it. Pure nonsense decision.

 

[S G Wolves]

The ball was played by a Liverpool player got to be onside. Needs to be cleared up this. Let's see if BT try to sort it out...

It's the rule I thought.

It’s Liverpool

 

[Sussex Wolf]

To me it looked like the question was whether the ball came to him from a Liverpool player where it wasn’t just deflected. The replays didn’t really make it clear. The fact they showed the lines suggest they think it was received from a Madrid player.

Either that or Liverpool have their usual VAR deal in place!

 

[Wall heath Wanderer]

Not an intentional touch? Let's see if Zidane runs on the pitch and unintentionally drops the nut on klopp.

Peter Walton thinks that the officials got it right.... (whatever they decided).....

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

they’ve got that one wrong IMO

Thought it was Kounate to Fabinho

 

[Tring Wolf]

Was a tackle. Deliberate act, not a deflection. Should have been a goal.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

What the **** does intentional have to do with it hahaha

 

[AndyWolves]

Fabinho didn't deliberately pass the ball to Benzema.

 

[manchesterwolf17]

Anyone any the wiser?

That's a goal, surely?

Offside or not. Fabinho's action renders it irrelevant.

 

[Fifty Niner]

Either 1-0 Real Madrid or Real win on penalties. Liverpool don’t look confident in the final third.

 

[JadeWolf]

Peter Walton thinks that the officials got it right.... (whatever they decided).....

“Let’s bring in Peter Walton”
“I agree with the referee, correct decision”
“Will it be overturned?”
“No”
(Decision overturned)
“Peter?”
“Good use of VAR, correct decision by the VAR official”
“Thanks Peter”

 

[CelebrityWolf]

Not a deliberate play allegedly. Learning new rules often since VAR came in

 

[Pagey]

Is VAR stationed outside the stadium alongside 10k Liverpool fans trying to break in?

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

How has that not been given . WOW

 

[Bugsy911]

What and.when has deliberate ever ever been used it's a clear goal ?

 

[Ewok vs Wolf]

Should of been a clear goal

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Not a deliberate play allegedly. Learning new rules often since VAR came in

You can be offside from an opposition player . This is madness

 

[Wall heath Wanderer]

What the **** does intentional have to do with it hahaha

When you find out please let me know as I want to know this also.

 

[manchesterwolf17]

What Walton just explained would make sense if the rule wasn't changed last year.

See France vs Spain in the Nations League Final and the goal that stood then.

 

[Slothmonkey]

Since when did it have to be a deliberate action?

 

[JadeWolf]

How can a VAR official decide whether a defender has deliberately played the ball or not? Are they mind readers?

Fabinho slides in to get the ball and knees it into Benzema’s path. For me that’s a goal.

 

[Pagey]

What the **** does intentional have to do with it hahaha

Can rule out every own goal in history then?

 

[Wolf316]

**** off Gerrard you *****.

 

[S G Wolves]

Watching football for over 45 years it's getting more and more complicated..

It's all *******s...

 

[Wall heath Wanderer]

Right then, so do unintentional hand balls result in nothing and own goals count as a corner from now on?

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

It just makes no sense at all. How can you be offside when your own team didn’t pass it to you!!!!!!

 

[Fenrir_]

Peter Walton is a total embarrassment, should be put out to pasture - and shot

Basically saying Benzema was offside from his own pass

 

[Wolf316]

How can a VAR official decide whether a defender has deliberately played the ball or not? Are they mind readers?

Fabinho slides in to get the ball and knees it into Benzema’s path. For me that’s a goal.

How the hell can they call it a deflection when he’s made a deliberate play to get the ball?

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Peter Walton really is an utter waste of time. His role is to invent reasons why the officials made the right decision.

 

[SingleMalt]

They can’t which is why the rule is total *******s. But it is still the rule.

Never buying Heineken again now.

Well... I'll give it a stab. Not that I agree with what I'm about to say.

The ball breaks free off Alisson's knee and both Konate and Fabinho go in for the loose ball. Konate then knocks the ball onto Fabinho's knee and it breaks to Benzema. As such, the VAR ref has decided the ball wasn't played deliberately by Fabinho. My argument, if that is the case, is that Konate deliberately plays the ball.
