Their eyesight was working perfectly, they chose to ignore what they saw.
Taylor has just made a statement.
Totally agree. "In hindsight" is maybe something Taylor could get away with, if there was no VAR. But Dean reviewed the replays for minutes and not seconds, not to mention he is highly experienced. If he was still on the fence he could have easily put the onus on Taylor to make the call by asking him to review the screen. But we all know that once it gets that far the decision almost usually ends up getting overruled. So he chose to ignore it to make sure we didn't get the call.
It's just a red. It's amazing how some pundits are confusing the issue. It's a red. All day long. As clear as day. It's as bad as clocking someone in the face or a head butt.
The offside thing interested me the most. He says Mendy could see the ball... So if Richarlison Kane and Son stood offside in front of him, and Mendy had to move half way to the corner flag to see the ball, it's not interfering with play? Madness
Richarlison also made a movement towards the ball, that alone would make him offside never mind him blocking Mendy's view.
He didn’t apologise, he just gave an explanation of what he should have done in hindsight. Don’t hold your breath for an apology from that arrogant tw*t.
Also really appreciate my phone have a mid-life crisis with ads randomly causing me to click send instead of something else and submitting an incomplete thought and sentence into the thread. Although — more than likely — it would be on point with how I post, and no one would be the wiser
They used this graphic to show Mendy had a clear view of the shot, Jenas concluded Richarlison was not interfering.
Apologies only come to United and Liverpool. Although there was one none big club that got a few too, who was that, Everton after the none pen call vs Rodri I think.
I always laugh when pundits use graphics like these. They can essentially move it however they want to tell their own story
He only has a clear view because he's already moved to his left in order to see around Richarlison. Even in the still, you can see this, weight on left leg, body angle to left as well. It is the move left that creates the spit second of time and space needed for the shot to beat him at the right post. Richarlison interfering all day long ... it's so obvious that I don't understand why anyone even bothers to argue to the contrary !
Even if at this point you accept that there is no interference which is mad, almost immediately after he strikes the ball
I find it fascinating that some simply decided to blame Jorginho for that goal despite the fact that it was only scored due to the offside, that same shot without Richarlison is easy for Mendy to catch.
