VAR thread 2022/23

[SebastianBlue]

I still maintain that only people that have never played football at a competitive level (being generous there) could think:

A) That Rashford was not interfering with play
B) That offside goal—and the many previous dubious (non)decisions from the officials—didn’t substantially contribute to us conceding the second.

Even so, I can accept conceding Rasford’s second. A draw would have been a fair result.

But no one can convince me that a loss was a fair result based on what occured during the match.

Nor that VAR ensured an equitable outcome.

The only refs I know at pub league level are all shit at playing football.

That challenge on Cancelo is a stonewall pen. I think the Haaland one is usually a pen too

It WASN'T just VAR that contributed to the result today.


The disparity in applying the LOTG, application of the 'play on' ruling, and a whole load of other SUSPECT calls all contributed to to the outcome. The OBVIOUS offside ruling is just clouding things.

The game was BENT from the first to the final whistle.

I am honestly trying not to think of those incidents, as they might push me right over the edge.

Oh, you’ve seen my post in the Ref Watch thread, I agree the overall officiating was skewed heavily in United’s favour.

I was just trying to comment on the discourse surrounding the biggest, most egregiously unfair (I use that in the context of the standards of competition) incident.

I hadn't.

The onside call was inevitable given everything that had gone before it in the game.

Hope West Ham go down to a wrong VAR call.

 

[JRockBlues]

FAO people thinking Rashford isn't interfering with play.

Even better (worse) view that illustrates the point more:

You seriously could not make that up, oh hang on they just did.

 

[creditunionhero]

Howard Webb has come in and changed the emphasis on what is /not to be viewed by var, The LOTG have not been changed, ie he is altering the guidence from FIFA.
English refs will not world cup games as a result.

 

[creditunionhero]

They review all goals. Unless that has changed this week as well.

The referee decided there was no interference, without looking at the replay, var decided there was no obvious mistake so stayed with the onfield decision of the ref over ruling the assistant. So nothing to see here.

 

[johnnytapia]

that should of been offside today for me- Rashford was impeding kind off - he was clever to back off from ball for Fernandez last moment

Ref/lino discussed and felt he didn’t interfere enough I guess

Walton mentioned a new ruling on that this season - not sure what that is

Didn’t see any other major contentious decisions that VAR should have got involved with, Haaland pen appeal at end but on replay it was never a pen.


* as an aside - can you blues sort it out. Really don’t want Arsenal winning the league

Off out now before the usual bombardment from Blue Mist and co

*as an aside- can you fuck off. Thanks.

Why are most of our players on the left hand side of the pitch?

How about West Ham to get relegated and you to fcuk off with them..!

Now if Carling could get their finger out and sort this out that'll be ace..!

[Fat Chance]

Not sure about haaland but casemiro on cancelo in the box was from behind...how can you tackle from behind in the box ( and not play the ball but the man)....how?

It’s not gone to plan though has it?

Since Leicester won the title

Man City have won it 5 times , Liverpool and Chelsea once

I fancy City still this season , can’t see Arsenal maintaining their form
