Taken from my TV set. The moment the pass begins. Look at the vertical cut of grass and take that angle (not straight up and down) from Aguero to the Spur. Is that offsides? To me that is not evidence enough to overturn the call on the field. Would love to hear why people call this offsides. I might be missing something but Aguero seems right on par with the Spur if you draw the line down the proper angle. No?
Watched sat behind a couple of tables of City fans watching a no sound big screen. They went mental with that late ‘winner’ and no one had clocked the offside.
VAR is brutal, adds drama and effectively for the right reasons but going to take a while to convince me it’s right for the game
Weird that Spurs and City will play again at the weekend. I can see City winning easily, with Spurs out for the count as they have so few options to freshen up the team.
I think if we are bringing in VAR that the offsides rule needs to be change to.... "if any part of the body is ONside, then the player is ONside." All VAR is going to do is take away 20%+ of all remaining goals, which I don't think is beneficial for the sport. Also, I think the NFL has it right, that there must be "substantial evidence" the call on the field was wrong to be overturned.
I guess I see the point that parts of his body are offside, and that means the ruling is correct, but I still think that parts of his body are onsides and the rule should be changed in the era of VAR from this point out.

Will they have VAR in play off finals ...
it must be an odd experience now , you lose that joyous looping and voguing fallling over chairs grabbing strangers and screaming like a deranged lunatic moment now cos some proper pessimistic bore like me when every goal goes in says “wait a minute VAR mate , maybe VAR “
Only just got in so haven’t seen any of this game yet and the first thing I thought (after “wow, what a scoreline!”) was that the spurs strip isn’t different enough. Why can’t they find a strip a bit more different to light blue like, for example, anything that isn’t also light blue/turquoise?
Glad I wasn't the only one, who thought the kits clashed. Outvoted in my household.

What on earth are you talking about?
So first of all it wasn't offside and then, when proved it was, you are saying the rules are wrong?
Also, there is substantial evidence the call was wrong... he's offside!

Just admit you got it wrong.

Liverpool now have more of an issue with games to play to the end of the PL season than City including having to play Newcastle away just 48 hours before they play the 2nd CL leg against Barcelona.

So now you agree that it is offside, but you think we should change the rules of offside!

I think you should stick to NFL.
I probably should! These matches are too damned stressful.

Any part of his body except the arms and hands that can put the ball in the net from an offside position is offside. It’s as simple as that. So if his arm is outstretched beyond the last player it ain’t offside because the only part of the body you can’t score with is your arms down to your hands. And Aguero was offside. I am trying every zig zag to make him onside!

I hear ya, I just don't like it. It's like having Roland here. I accept it's real, I just don't like it.

PS- yeah, he was offsides.
It is about right & wrong. Aguero was offside and you were wrong.
PS the only games I can recall that were better, were our Wembley play off win & Liverpool's come back Champions League Final win. 4-5 from 4-1 down, wasn't it?
Comments
Only positive is that it will make City even more determined now to win the league as it's their only focus.
We should have left well alone & let Man C go through, with an offside goal.

It'll kill it eventually.

PS it is offside not offsides.
Aguero was offside and you were wrong.
