Var debate 2019/20

[jimmygrimblesboots]

If we had VAR last season there is every chance we would have won the Champs league , just a shame they didnt delay it until next season , becasue without it , we would have won Champs league this season , ever get the feeling its just not meant to be :(

Genuinely believe if VAR weren't involved, Sterling's goal would have been awarded, and certainly it'd be wrong.

Can't fault the lads for the effort tonight, but the away goal really came back to bite us in the ass.

Shafted without VAR last year

Shafted with VAR this year

It's almost as if we, as a club, are the common denominator but everything's above board.

Everton fan here, VAR has called some brilliant decisions but its also called some incorrect ones.

VAR itself isnt the problem, the fact that its still down to the inconsistency of the decision making from officials. We have seen decisions given in one game while similar decisions have been ruled out in another - that needs to be sorted and there needs to be clear rules across the board.

The Llorente one tonight hit his hand. The TV replays show the handball at the time from the view behind the goal, yet when we watched the ref look at the VAR review, you can blatantly see him only viewing the one angle.

Correct call or not, it totally takes the emotion out of scoring a goal. I'll never celebrate a goal like Sterling's again if it's brought over here.

only this^^^,,everyone in the ground celebrated,sterling was sliding around on the pitch,its going to end up like in America where a guy will come over the loud speaker to announce its ok you can celebrate

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

I'm not a fan of VAR and as tonight shows it won't settle many arguments

For me I'd have been fuming if the handball goal had been ruled out for us. I'm not sure about the offside TBH - I'm not convinced it was offside the moment the ball was touched and technology/frame rates on videos have to be perfect to give marginal calls like that.

VAR was great it's just we were unlucky. VAR will help us in the future.

 

[Theengelbert]

For me it’s not about the decision tonight it was probably the right call. It’s more that I think VAR spells the end of any true aguero or dickov celebration moments. I went bananas running around my living room for two minutes to find it’s ruled out. Spontaneity will go from football. Goals will be greeted with a muted applause whilst we wait to see if it’s really a goal. I know we previously had offside but that was fairly quick and easy to spot. I’m really disillusioned with football today and it’s not just coz we lost although that’s also a big part

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

VAR absolutely not to blame. It feels shit atm because we would have benefited from it last year and it's fucked us this year. Even so, we missed a penalty and defended poorly tonight. Well done Spurs, now let's fuckin win the treble.

Fixed it for you.

So you can put ball in with arm as long as it’s by your side?

Except he didn't put it in with his arm

When Sterling scored, I'd say it was on par with the Aguero moment in the stadium in terms of celebrating. People going absolutely mental. That will be a thing of the past before long if they continue to use VAR to review goals.

 

[BosnianBlue]

No, it is not. VAR on their goal was really not something easy to decide and if I'd be neutral, I'd say it's probably a good goal. Specially with the angle Cekir had. On the second goal it helped team to not get out of CL from a goal that was clearly offside.

We suffered from it tonight but it's a good thing for football. We'll get more good than bad things from it surely as we've never really been the favorites of refs.

 

[Theengelbert]

If we’re really desperate to get every decision right why don’t we leave the result til the following day, and a team of “experts” can analyse tiny decision overnight and tell us the score and who got booked. Let’s truly get rid of all the spontaneity none of this half hearted stuff

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Like I said, UEFA changed the rules mid-game.

It's bit of shit that part, I agree, but it's better than to lose championships and stuff because of bad ref's decision.

 

[Cheer Up Peter Reid]

Even my 77 year old mother who knows nothing about football and does not support City saw it on the news and immediately called it as handball. VAR and UEFA can fuck off.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

It's part of the evolution of the game. Right or wrong, it'll never be the same again.
I'm glad that I've been lucky enough to have witnessed it, at its crudest and possibly purest.
Having said that, video didn't kill the radio star, after all.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

The biggest issue with var, like tonight, is watching it in TV as i had to tonight, the tv cameras show it at multiple angles instantly.

The tv cameras show the ref watching tv screen that shows it from one angle ( but that angle also shows signs of the arm being hit by the ball)

The ref from what i remember wasnt even sure when he finished watching it

Thats the issue

 

[aguero93:20]

I hadn't seen that angle, neither did the ref. I'm done with this competition for as long as UEFA are the ones running it.
