Var debate 2019/20

[Bluekiwi]

I'd love a ref to explain, and tell us how far they go back and look at things.

They go as far back as possible to make sure that Liverpool are not disadvantaged.

Worst thing about VAR is that it is giving an unfair advantage to the team that benefits from its decisions. The 2 disallowed goals in the Spurs and Chelsea games this weekend were both pretty quickly followed by counter goals from Leicester and Liverpool. Psychologically for the players, having the euphoria of a goal celebration being taken away from you, is a real morale fucker. Conversely, the euphoria of having a goal disallowed that you think you've conceded is a huge morale boost for those players. This is the side-effect of VAR that really needs to be removed.

Goals were disallowed well before VAR

I would like to know if VAR knew Mount was offside yesterday or they were hoping someone was ?

For me, this is the point. A goal has never been scored that you couldn't disallow if you look hard enough for a reason.

How the fuck he was given as offside i'll never know. Especially when players inside the 6 yard box have been 'not interfering with play.
Disallowing goals for that shit will kill the game.

Disallowing goals for that shit will let PiGMOB control the game.

Is the correct answer.

I will wager right now they go right through the season benefitting from every VAR decision they are involved in.

Agreed. The Spurs one was a ridiculous decision based on the capability of the equipment. You can't make a call within a few cms when it is within the margin of error. This is just stupid and it appears to only being interpreted this way by British referees. What happens when players are genuinely level then? VAR seems to be working better in other parts of the world where some common sense is being applied. The Chelsea one was trickier because he was clearly offside but was it too early in the phase of play?
