We need to hear during the 90 mins what’s being communicated between ref and VAR when incidents happen in games,just like they do in rugby until then a majority will be suspicious of why they don’t want this,once this happens then it hopefully eradicate’s the suspicion’s around corruption and cheating,but I won’t hold my breath ..
 
It’s an attempted block, not an attempted pass. You might disagree with the law, but it’s how offsides work.
Yeah well it’s wrong in my opinion he‘s affecting play or attemping to interfere,the game is over so it’s not gonna do anything now,just felt they were desperate for arsenal to get over the line ..
 
Not sure how often I can repeat myself to you.
Any form of officiating will get things wrong. There will ALWAYS be the odd fuck up with VAR.
It’s good to highlight when VAR can be good for the game and also debate the pros and cons and what changes can be made. That’s what this forum is for and what the majority of posters do. Unlike yourself who clearly just wants an echo chamber of ‘it’s all corrupt’ and get in a personal spat.

Its is corrupt.
 
Or like we saw pre VAR , refs simply do not give the most obvious of penalties like that today from Rice - this is what we put up before VAR and this is what will happen when/if VAR is binned. Absolute joke decisions.
I think that is a rather naive take, if I am honest.

By the way, I have never called for VAR to be binned.
 
He doesn't have to make a decision anymore. Var will do it for him.

In the same match Trossard trips a spurs player in the box and nothing is given. Not sure if var even looked at it

edit* i cant watch the vid but am presuming it shows the Trossard sneaky trip?


80% of comments underneath say no pen. he did go down very late after accidental trip so not sure there was enough contact to warrant a penalty and not enough for VAR to overturn on field decision.

I made point earlier, pre VAR blatant pens were being missed so i don't buy the fact that Refs don't award them because they're protected by VAR.

You don’t think your general position of zealously defending VAR no matter how many times it collussally fucks up may be clouding your judgment when it comes to how VAR (and the “clear and obvious error” threshold, which was again in play with the incident @stonerblue has brought up) has impacted on-pitch officiating?

I have criticised VAR for many things throughout this thread, i'm no lover of it - just prefer to have Refs with tech help than make decisions solely by themselves even when they do fuck up from time to time.
 
fair enough. so hundreds/thousands of people all involved in manipulating results.
have you got any proof ?
There aren't hundreds/thousand involved.

Just one or two people in a position of influence is enough to tip the scales in favour of unscrupulous/illegal bookmakers.

What I find funny is you seem to have dismissed any such corruption in a multi-billion dollar industry, when evidence tells us corruption to some degree is pretty much a given at that level.

But you don’t think the referees and assistant referees decision-making process—or the frequency at which they make calls, contentious or otherwise, on the pitch in general—has been impacted by the current iteration of VAR?

It's just very easy to chuck out the corrupt' line with no real basis.
of course there's a few examples of corruption with organisations as big as football throughout the decades, dodgy envelopes here and there but to just say PL results are being manipulated by betting firms with no real basis of proof is worthy to be questioned no ?
who exactly are manipulating the results ? why ? how? how's there not been one whistle-blower in the last 20 years of this ?
my twitter timeline after your Brighton match was a tsunami of comments saying FA/PGMOL are ensuring Man city win the title again, i assume you disagree with those comments?

in the main no, the standard of on-field referring is still about the same for me and VAR highlights just how often they miss/get decisions wrong.

'Accidental' trip ??
