Anti knife violence campaign kit

We worn it last seasons fa cup game as well

 

[robfosters]

Rubbish from us. Oxford putting up a good fight.

Our midfield looks woeful. If Xhaka and Partey were on, it would be a completely different game. Just light years ahead.

 

[Bigpig]

Right the new kit is "no more red campaign"

I honestly thought they fell out with the sponsor/ kit maker after realising they weren't playing in the yellow kit that looks like a classic for the 90's

 

[Slam62]

Yeah I watched the whole of the first half assuming Oxford were in white, I am getting on a bit though.

 

[Raymond Lin]

it really shows that they are missing that final ball from Odegaard.

 

[McBain]

55 minutes, no shots on target against a league 1 side. Hot garbage from Arsenal.

 

[omnomnom]

Just turned the radio on and Arsenal score.

You're welcome.

[robfosters]

[The_One]

THe guy who wont score goals does it again

 

[CliffyG]

Offside.

 

[vanandjuanunited]

Offside all day long

 

[robfosters]

As I thought, Xhaka coming on changed the game.

If you take a still from 10 minutes after the ball is played you're not likely to get to get a very accurate result.

There is one very poor quality image from the opposite side of the pitch floating around on twitter that shows the Wolves corner taker is, broadly speaking, in line with deepest defender however given the angle of the image, its nigh on impossible to tell if he's slightly on or slightly off.

This mirrors what I posted about the Wolves vs Liverpool offside shambles.

No it doesn't. You posted an image well after the ball had been played - that image told us nothing.

As this video shows, the Wolves attacker was a lot closer to being offside than what your image, 30 seconds after the ball was played, tried to suggest. Unfortunately even this clip cannot prove conclusively that he is onside, nor was this video available to the VAR. The camera's used by VAR for offsides are calibrated to take into account the angle and the lines aren't drawn by a 15 year old on twitter.

Was he onside? Very possibly, even probably but there was absolutely nothing that could be done to overturn the onfield decision because there was no evidence available to the VAR to prove it wrong. It's not the first time this has happened either. The same situation happened in the Arsenal - Liverpool game when Saka appeared to be offside for Arsenal's first goal however none of the VAR calibrated camera's were able to show Saka and the ball being played in the same clip so it had to stay with the onfield decision to allow the goal.
