VAR Discussion Thread | 2024/25

As much as everyone hates VAR and detests my views - the silence and lack of agreement to yours says a lot.
I don't make arguments designed to be popular, I look at what happened and react to it as best I can. I've made a very strong case for the penalty to be upheld, and that through the VAR process, an important component of the incident seemed to be omitted. Only focusing on the touch and ignoring the thigh bump is not seeing the forest for the trees. That's on you, that is your failure, I'm seeing the forest for the trees, I see everything. You only want to focus on what you choose to focus on, whatever it is that VAR decides is the correct decision, you sheepishly back and then argue it prevented an injustice. Bollocks!
 
3 clear penalties missed by var
Off side goal missed by var

HOW ?
The foul on Foden.
If that was anywhere else on the pitch it's a foul and a booking so why wasn't it a clear and obvious error ?
Dias (I think) thrown to the ground after the corner had been taken. Var even looked at it.... but gave nowt.

Finally. As a match going fan, their winner was a goal end of. Why do fans have to wait for ages for the corrupt fucks to give a decision. If it isn't immediately offside it's a goal. Var is killing the game.

Someone will tag the wum in a comment, he will reply with his usual shite and dominate the next 5 pages and so this thread hoe's on.
It's killing football it does not do what it was supposed to do.
 
I'm usually a defender of the technology, and I'm not at all saying we deserved to win - I think the result is probably about fair... but... Something has quite obviously fucked up with the offside technology there. Dias in the virtual offside graphic image has both feet off the ground. In reality, he was literally stood... not jumping. That makes him look further to the right than he is because of the parallax in the image. Imagine he's not in the air but instead "further away"... then he's nowhere near the 6 yard line.

I know the image is just a visual representation of the decision system, but if the graphic is so obviously fucked up then how can we have any confidence in the system?

On the PL official site, it states this:

Once the semi-automated offside technology-generated outcome has been reviewed and approved by the VAR, a decision visual will be automatically generated and distributed to fans in the stadium and to the media.

I'm pretty sure that didn't happen, fucking bent cunts!

It was manipulated no question about that, but we won't hear anything more about it unless Pep and the club demand answers, which they won't, they are not the tarquins nor the dippers.

When are you going to learn that they rarely do what they say they're gonna do, they are literally making it up as they go along. And when they are forced to explain decisions, Howard Webb comes up with some arms flailing convoluted cockamamie gobbledygook. VAR is an absolute riot. Needs Sacking BADLY!
 
So they’ve confirmed it was his elbow that kept Bruno G onside.

Does it not work the same for defenders in terms of body parts?

If Bruno G was onside by his elbow, then he’s be judged to be offside wouldn’t he because he can’t score with that body part? Same way Ruben wouldn’t be allowed (though they were today!) to use his elbow to block a shot?

They are corrupt end of story.
