World Cup VAR

[TheRemainsOfTheDave]

Soft penalty, that, even with a bit of contact.

Soft. But the right decision.

Once again a team would have been robbed of a major decision and robbed of a goal had it not gone to VAR

Not sure what Lawrenson is moaning about.

The Aussie player touched the ball first and then the ball ran away from Griezmann, he was never getting to it.

Are you pissed and French got the ball French lad wasn't getting the ball

 

[Rasher]

They have checked with VAR on the open play goal. So you have to wait for the VAR to confirm before you can fully celebrate the goal?
Not a pen for France in my book btw

So all the officials are pissed aswell ?

I didn’t see the touch on the ball. Fair enough if he did.

Seen the replays. 100% pen. Defender never touched the ball.

 

[cptnemo]

There was one camera angle that shows he got the ball 100% no pen.

Either way. The ref was allowed to review the incident and he made what he thought was the best decision

Touch the ball sliding in then taking the player out is a FOUL

This is one of the problems with var. Just look at this thread alone. It's still down to personal opinion. So what should they do if it still ain't 100% clear after viewing. Should they have a standard decision of giving it or not giving the decision?

With var we will get more things right then wrong so it’s a good thing

I'm not sure touching the ball makes much of a difference according to the laws of the game. But he did get a touch on the ball. It was a faint touch, but enough to change it's path. Thought it was a pretty faint touch on Griezman too, not sure enough for him to go down.

I can see why it was given but I'm not sure it was a clear and obvious decision.

Don't think VAR is going to eliminate debates on key decisions though.

That's true. Like everything nothing is perfect.

 

[deano ou812]

If it’s not clear cut and ref isn’t 100% sure it’s nailed on then they don’t give it simple as that,just goes to show that we are split on here if it’s a pen or not,still feel var when it does arrive in premier league will still be used or not to fuck certain teams over..

 

[manimanc]

I had to laugh at the officials in the VAR control room, dressed in full refs kit.
I wonder if they had cards in their pockets, watches on and wearing football boots.
I thought they'd at least be in full trackys or jeans n t-shirt.

Yes I can understand the doubt at time and it’s going to take a long time to get right.

But surely, VAR help is better than a ref just guessing or being cheated by diving. Of course VAR won’t get it right all the time but I feel it will get a right a lot more than the refs guesses

The ref got to review it and felt it was clear.
If it wasn’t he wouldn’t have gave it.

 

[waspish]

Have to say had my doubts about VAR but it’s the future and it will become more streamlined when more referees get up to speed with it! Think that’s why it didn’t get voted in for this season in the premier they want the referees to train all season for it.

If they don’t vote it in for next season I will smell something very fishy by the clubs who without VAR want benifit as much.
