Every time a Deadspin take insinuates than Man City was somehow screwed by a ticky tack VAR decision in the UCL, I’ll be here to stridently disagree. Kun was clearly offside and the ball only went to him because Bernardo significantly deflected Eriksen’s ill advised pass. Today was entirely different. VAR was…

A friend of mine is raising two boys and her and her husband are doing such a great job raising them to be conscientious thoughtful people and then they go over to Grandma's and oh, look WATER GUNS.

I mean you can check the time she threatened to shove a ball down a line judge’s throat for an idea 

You’re a fucking tool, bro.  

So change the laws of the game to be more in line with the original intent. Don’t get mad at VAR for correctly adjudging a player offside when they are by the current rules.

none of what you’d just seen actually mattered because the video assistant deemed Raheem Sterling’s shoulder to have been a centimeter or two beyond the last defender’s shoulder, making him offside and annulling the goal.

Bruins fan here.

Watch your language please there are children on this web site

As Salty points out, there are lots of teens that look like adults and lots of adults that look like teens, our own assumptions about age are not infallible.

They don’t have to serve you, and (protected classes aside) they don’t have to have a good reason. Considering the penalty for being wrong, a bartender should definitely set their Spider-Sense bar higher than the law’s. If I must err one way or the other, I’d much rather deny an of-age person than serve an underage…

DON’T YOU PAUL LYNDE ME, YOU SUNNOVABICH!

“VAR stepped in to do what VAR does.” 

I gotta say, it sure seems like all of Deadspin’s soccer writers dislike VAR (as a thing AND its application) even though, virtually 100 pct of the time, it proves its worth and gets things RIGHT.

Looks to me like VAR did exactly what it was supposed to on that call. You couldn’t tuck your arms in any further to try to avoid the handball than that defended did. Textbook ball to hand in my opinion, but I can see why the ref originally called a handball in a split second decision.

I guess the criminalization of blackness is now complete; and every black male is a criminal, every white man a saint.

Let’s just be thankful 007 isn’t a mermaid.

Unfortunately after VAR review there was determined to be a handball and the video was flagged for removal.

I’m pretty much in the bag for Serena Williams as a rule. She’s been one of my favorite athletes for 20 years. That being said, she isn’t and has never been a good loser and that day certainly wasn’t one of her finer moments. She embarrassed herself and basically ruined Naomi Osaka’s moment.
