I've had time to calm down, but f*ck me VAR is bent as f*ck.
Of course it will...if that came off van dykes arm today and salah slotted it in they'll be celebrating 3pts....if Pogba gets wrestled to the floor at the swamp then var will kick in and they'll get a penalty. Keep watching coz it'll fuckin happen sooner rather than later mark my words.but thats just the normal argument that the rags/dippers get favourable decisions for them......it wont be able to favour them with offsides and handballs (unless the people putting the lines on the pith to judge on/offside deliberately tamper with the system) as they are clear cut either yes or no decisions.
There will be a time this season where the Dippers will get a penalty because 'there was contact', and City won't get a penalty because 'there wasn't enough contact'.The ref's word has always been gospel...when has a decision ever been changed after a match has finished? (unless you count recinded red cards) - there is now just another level of decision making on certain points; offsides, handballs and goals (All looking at clear and obvious errors) - the VAR rfs are not going to overule the on pith ref unless its an obvious mistake that he completely misses as its behind him/he doesnt see it cause his view is blocked - its going to back the ref's decisions on fouls/not foul virtually all the time unless the ref learly misses something - for instance it will probably stop the off the ball serious stuff and it should stop the diving as when the ref gives a penalty VAR will check it and if (like Salah) the player dives without contat it will be over ruled.....For instance if the ref had given a penalty against rodri last week vs Wetham when their player dived int he box i bellive VAR would have over ruled it as the reply learly showed that there was no contact from the angle the camera was looking at it......but you could easily see from the ref's position why it may have been given if he had cause it could look like there had been contact even though there hadnt been cause certain players are very goo at either feigning contact or causing the contact its self....
think of stelings last season, when he kicked the ground and we got a penalty that no one even sterling appealed for....that would have been (rightfully) over ruled after a VAR referral
not been mentioned, but anyone heard how Zinchenko's injury is?
bollocksFFS, one is discretionary and the other is factual
Over and out
