I get it. Fabianski can see the ball but surely the Wolves player has him pinned as the corner comes in. He moves away from Fabianski before Kilman heads it but surely the ref can be forgiven for judging the Wolves player to be interfering with play by affecting Fabianski's movement as the ball is coming in.

I haven’t seen it but was it not for offside and the player was in front of the keeper?

Ref has denied the goal because on the camera angle the wolves player is right in front of the keeper
The keeper would have had no chance regardless but the ref has denied it because of the camera view and the plain text of the law
Get rid of VAR. it’ll never happen unfortunately

That shouldn't be disallowed.... He's not pinned as you said, he's free by the time the ball gets to the Wolves lad and he's not getting it anyway?
If the replay is done at normal speed there's no way that should be ruled out.

ridiculous decision.
Hate this “ letter of the law” bollox.
That’s never been offside in a million years man.
2 keepers wouldn’t have saved that if no one was standing anywhere near them.
Common sense should’ve been applied there. Unfortunately that isn’t an option

Always assumed that was definitely offside if he was anywhere near the eyeline of the keeper.

'It doesn’t make sense' – MOTD pundits on Wolves 'goal'
Match of the Day pundits analyse the decision to disallow a late Wolves equaliser against West Ham, with Gary Lineker suggesting that VAR is taking over - and that football needs an appeal system.

The Wolves player is clearly there for one reason only, to interfere with the keeper and prevent him from having any chance of playing the ball and being offside when the ball is headed in the centre of the goal, to boot.
The whole corner scenario situation needs to be looked at with attacking players blocking off defenders and defenders not even looking at the ball whilst manhandling their opponent.

That's my take. He can't even set properly. He's affected by the wolves player. The whole episode is influenced by the Wolves player being a nuisance.

Erm … you can’t have a game without rules ffs
Imagine it man … well the ball was pretty much over the line … just award the goal….
It’s been a really end to end game and the losing team deserves a point … let’s play another five minutes and see if they score….
Ah I know he was offside and interfering with play but it was a good finish so let’s just award the goal anyway ….
And you talk about common sense

This! Some people are just thinking about the point the ball is headed and the fact Fabianski isn't getting it so it should be a goal. The Wolves player has made it difficult for the keeper by blocking his movement while being in an offside position not only at the point of the header but before and also restricting his view and movement to deal with the cross.MOD presenters talking complete bollocks imho'It doesn’t make sense' – MOTD pundits on Wolves 'goal'

A similar example to this is at a free kick when a player stands in front of the keeper well offside. He's affecting the ability of the keeper to see what's going on prior to the kick. If the player runs back onside in time then he's done his job, making it harder for the keeper. If he's still offside blocking the keeper's view then he's still offside, simple as that.
If it was just taking into account the keeper's view at the point of kicking of the ball then you could just have a player stand right beside the keeper blocking most of his view. He would just step aside a few milliseconds before the ball is hit so the keeper has an unobstructed view at the point the ball is hit.

No no no the laws of the game don’t apply if you score a goal, the laws of the game change to just using a blanket common sense approach applied solely at the discretion of each individual official involved in the game …. What could possibly go wrong with that
The problem is not VAR, it's managers like Gary O'Neil who would suddenly have a different interpretation of events if his side had conceded a goal under similar circumstances.

Using your logic there should be a free kick or a penalty at every corner.
