Yeah I can get that slightly,but the ref had a nailed on view on this even if there had been no VAR he was bang to rights,be interesting now to see when he’s back and which team he’s up against they’ll be targeting him from the first minute,I know that’s what I’d be doing..
No they couldn't. The whole world would see it.
I mentioned the Martin Samuel's piece in the Mail earlier. This is one of the examples he uses to show that VAR and the officials using it are not fit for purpose.
Yup, that's the reason. Bluealf knows his stuff. Blocked, so I do miss that kind of insight in the future.
Most people on this thread other than you and one other seem to miss the point. VAR in its current format isn't what fans were promised and isn't being used correctly. If used correctly then it's great. First thing that needs to happen is all conversations should be heard in full as they are in rugby and cricket so that people know what is happening. Incidents also need to be put on the screens so fans know what is being looked at and so they can be kept informed. A condition of playing in the Premier must be that all clubs have at least two large screens so all fans wherever they are sat in the stadium can see clearly all replays. If that means certain clubs have to have smaller capacities to accommodate then so be it and it also means that promoted clubs need to have screens for the start of the season. The offside situation where we are measuring armpit hair length is ridiculous and the technology needs to be in place to judge if someone is 1cm offside or not, currently it isn't. The game requires consistency throughout and fans, players etc all need to understand why decisions are being made. Why for instance did VAR ignore the hair pull on Cucurella or not give Brighton a penalty. No point so called pundits moaning about it for days after guessing as to why it has happened, we need answers from the people who made the original calls.
Been saying it isn't fit for purpose since day one, although Martin Samuels probably put it better that I could.
Nah, it's because I called him out for saying Jesus is only playing well for Arsenal because he isn't facing packed defences.
Ah I see why you added me, what a strange response to a post by him, I thought it was the Gabby Jesus one and not the reply to bill and Ben the var men, what a weird guy.
Unfortunately it seems to be referencing doing post match listen ins rather than the rugby style open coms but baby steps i guess...It's coming
Premier League 'plans to release in-match VAR conversations'
The video technology has drawn mixed reviews since its introduction to the English top flight in 2019, with many decisions proving controversial especially in nature to marginal offside calls.www.dailymail.co.uk
just need to be patient, these things are massive and they have to get it right.
VAR has shown it has many flaws but also there is alot of positives to VAR which doesn't get mentioned
It will always adapt and improve but will never be perfect and there will always be incidences out of hundreds of games where they simply get it wrong.
Wrong again. They are talking about releasing parts of the conversations after the game. When VAR was first introduced into the sport the idiots in charge should have looked at how rugby and cricket use it and how it's evolved over the years to its present format. Neither sport had it right at first but quickly changed for the better but they were, I believe, the first team sports to use a form of VAR in the UK. Others should be able to see what works and what doesn't and how it should be used before it is used in their sport, football quite obviously hasn't no matter how many times you say it has. Explain to me how VAR got it so badly wrong with the Brighton penalty and the Cucurella hair pull. Do not tell me how they correctly disallowed a goal that the liner hadn't flagged for as that is what it is there for. Answer those two specific points and don't waffle on.It's coming

The point of VAR was to minimise incorrect decisions and it just doesn't do that. It doesn't matter which direction Wellshit was going in, it was a penalty all day long and for the ref and VAR to both think otherwise says a lot. A few days later (can't remember which game) an innocuous shove was immediately blown up as a foul. As for the Cucurella incident VAR can intervene for violent conduct if not seen by the ref which this would fall under. Again how anyone can say what was done wasn't beggars belief. It was a red card offence and instead of a corner from which Spurs scored, Chelsea should have had a free kick and Spurs a red card. As for your picture above it's the first I have seen of it so would like to see the actual highlights in real time but looking at the picture I would say penalty. Presumably that's Norwich so a Championship game where VAR isn't used so maybe that's one of those 'incidences where they simply get it wrong'. My point is, even with VAR obvious penalties still are being missed which they shouldn't be. As it currently stands VAR needs a total overhaul and the clowns using it should be replaced with people who know how the to use it properly. It is being manipulated no doubt whatsoever.
