Argentina v Saudi Arabia – Tue 22nd Nov, 10:00 | Group C | World Cup 2022

Your favourite world cup memory is from 1966? Are you allowed to access bluemoon at the retirement home?

;)

We are allowed 1 hour a day on ‘naughty’ sites. I use half for Bluemoon and the other half has tits.

Mine is 1962 the “Battle of Santiago”, Chile v Italy better than anything on WWE.

Yet they can and do. It just needs to be accepted by fans, or those fans that can’t accept it need to become VAR officials so they can see how it works.

You don't know they can and do. You are happy to accept their claim they can and do, and so am I really. It's much better than some guy looking at blurred images to determine when a ball was kicked. I am also happy to accept that the CGI is based on an automated process for accurately portraying the data points graphically on screen.

But I still maintain that the more accurate they try to become, the more flaws they have in their absolute outcomes. No margin of error is impossible.

You should really watch the rag forum.

Indeed, but it was left on the terraces and pubs and people got on with life without fans creating dossiers about how corrupt the game was against their team.

One of the problems with VAR is that it delivers variable outcomes from rather similar inputs and is used variably. I've just seen a Danish arm divert the ball for a corner. The arm was outstretched but the ref wasn't interested and no VAR whistling down his ear. I've seen players with arms by their sides penalised. All rather mysterious, and because we never seen nor hear the 'black 'n white' of it we are just left to wonder!

Oooh , Ken Aston was the ref, and he would have blown for full time after seventy minutes if he could have! Double drop kicks, left and right hooks. Dreadful game. Both of those teams should have been banned from the next WC.

Your best memory is from 1962? I'm assuming you were in the trenches in World War 1?

Which is kind of where I am. Nobody can prove it either way and most decisions aren’t on those fine margins anyway.

It will also get better through experience and better technology.

That’s human inconsistency that can only be discarded if you take humans out of the decision making process.

I haven’t seen the handball you’re discussing as I gave this game a swerve as I had things to do.
