Var debate 2019/20

[Florida Blue]

For the third Norwich goal, Pukki was inside the area from the goal kick, should have been retaken

Goal is good according to this..

Not seen this mentioned anywhere, but for spurs opening goal v palace the ball appears to brush/hit Son's arm as he controls it via his hip before sticking it in. If anyone has motd on record still, have a look. One rule etc..

 

[Blue Mist]

We might be moaning about VAR (I certainly am) but the penalty for handball in the Chelsea match last night was a total joke. OK they are being consistently stupid as we suffered the same last year but it is a total joke.

The question is how many decisions will go against us tonight.

As they say ‘how long is a piece of string’?

 

[WillDaws]

So glad we aren't the only ones getting gypped by VAR... FINALLY spurs on the wrong end of it.

 

[SWP's back]

Found this, from a Spurs fan, quite funny.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Now I'm not going to weep any tears over a VAR decision that goes against Spurs, but common sense is clearly not prevailing this season. Judgement, based on common sense and experience, should be reintroduced. Both the on pitch and off pitch referees should have the balls to judge whether the margin of being offside has given the player a decisive advantage and if not, overrule the camera that shows a margin of millimetres for an arm, a shoulder, or even a foot.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Just catching up on MOTD - shocking VAR decision against Son (not even sure it looked offside from the lines on the graphic, but certainly not to any degree of certainty). Burnley not getting an absolute stonewall.

Is this it now - is this what we get?

 

[Ohrodneyrodney]

Stonewall pen not given to Villa. According to MOTD officials say had it been given and referred to VAR it would jot have been over turned. In other words it was a pen and yet another inexplicable incorrect decision.

 

[Bluekiwi]

I'd love a ref to explain, and tell us how far they go back and look at things.

They go as far back as possible to make sure that Liverpool are not disadvantaged.

Worst thing about VAR is that it is giving an unfair advantage to the team that benefits from its decisions. The 2 disallowed goals in the Spurs and Chelsea games this weekend were both pretty quickly followed by counter goals from Leicester and Liverpool. Psychologically for the players, having the euphoria of a goal celebration being taken away from you, is a real morale fucker. Conversely, the euphoria of having a goal disallowed that you think you've conceded is a huge morale boost for those players. This is the side-effect of VAR that really needs to be removed.

Goals were disallowed well before VAR

Instantly.

 

[Bluethemaway]

I would like to know if VAR knew Mount was offside yesterday or they were hoping someone was ?

 

[Newman Noggs]

For me, this is the point. A goal has never been scored that you couldn't disallow if you look hard enough for a reason.

How the fuck he was given as offside i'll never know. Especially when players inside the 6 yard box have been 'not interfering with play.
Disallowing goals for that shit will kill the game.

Disallowing goals for that shit will let PiGMOB control the game.

Is the correct answer.

I will wager right now they go right through the season benefitting from every VAR decision they are involved in.

Agreed. The Spurs one was a ridiculous decision based on the capability of the equipment. You can't make a call within a few cms when it is within the margin of error. This is just stupid and it appears to only being interpreted this way by British referees. What happens when players are genuinely level then? VAR seems to be working better in other parts of the world where some common sense is being applied. The Chelsea one was trickier because he was clearly offside but was it too early in the phase of play?
