Fans are all saying the same thing after Scott McTominay’s goal ruled out by VAR After a four-minute VAR review, Scott McTominay’s strike for Man Utd is ruled out for offside
During the match between Fulham and Manchester United, VAR stirred controversy by disallowing a goal that United believed they had scored in the first half. The goal was the result of a free-kick played to the far post for Alejandro Garnacho, who then set up Scott McTominay for a close-range finish.
However, a protracted VAR review led to the disallowance of the goal on the grounds that Harry Maguire, who did not touch the ball, had interfered with play from an offside position.
Referee John Brooks made the decision to disallow the goal after consulting the VAR monitor. This decision has prompted debates about whether VAR should be involved in cases of ‘subjective offsides.’
Many fans and pundits were left perplexed by the decision. Some admitted to not understanding the rules of football anymore, while others felt that Manchester United had every right to be frustrated with the outcome.
The decision was seen by some as being based on tenuous reasoning, and there were calls for a reevaluation of VAR’s role in the game.
Fans and commentators expressed their dissatisfaction with the decision, and there was a sense that VAR was being used to disallow United’s goals in situations that were not within the original scope of VAR’s implementation.
