The margins were close enough for luck to come into it on both the offside and the fact that the contact came on the penalty decision at just the right time to ensure a probable tap in went through Whites legs.Or not taking a woefully shite penalty, not really luck. The marginal offside goal that can’t be determined definitively with the technology used could possibly be considered unlucky I suppose.
It didn't, it was originally brought in to correct clear and obvious mistakes, in neither case did it do that today.
Tbf, City were in a penalty shootout in the Continental Cup final against Arsenal a few months ago. Houghton scored and City won, so I think that's not a priority concern.Hope Nick Cushing was taking note , ie Parris 2 (I know she's gone now) and Houghton 1 in penalty misses. You never know when City could end up in a penalty shoot out !
Consistency will stop at the doors of the swamp and klanfield.I think they will get VAR right eventually, I just think it's going to be a painful process to get there.
The fact that we had people defending Llorente's obvious handball goal on a technicality of how the old rules are written, only shows one thing. The rules need looking over and rewriting to be fit for purpose before we make the switch, they were never written with this technology in mind. Lay everything out, make sure the refs and linesmen know the rules properly, make teams aware of everything and be consistent with it.
Well its wrong then.No clear and obvious on line calls.
VAR is shite.
That game was shite.
England remain perennial bottlers at all levels.
True mate and just watched the shoot out with Arsenal again with Janine Beakie scoring the winning one , and she was another that missed a penalty in this World Cup (for Canada).Tbf, City were in a penalty shootout in the Continental Cup final against Arsenal a few months ago.

They won the League Cup in February via a shoot outHope Nick Cushing was taking note , ie Parris 2 (I know she's gone now) and Houghton 1 in penalty misses. You never know when City could end up in a penalty shoot out !
I'm hoping you're on a wind-up? Anyhow, the girls went out with a fight, and I'd much rather see that as opposed to a whimper. Whether you like VAR or not is irrelevant - it does not matter what you think one jot. It's happened and it's here to stay. Hopefully we should see more good decisions than bad ones, but it ain't going' anywhere, so me, you and the rest of the traditional football fans need to suck it up and get used to it.VAR is shite.

Yep, but the previous England penalties didn't hit the back of the net either. It's one of those things. Aguero has missed 4 penalties in the Champions League, second most misses in CL history! What do you do? Hindsight is shite.Awful penalty, feel sorry for Houghton

I am concerned about how the line is drawn for offside.
Perspective is difficult to calculate with high and distance being an added factor, you really need to have lines draw across the pitch from touch line to touch line as in American Football.
Does anybody know how they determine where to draw the line?
Daylight would be fairer, it’s ridiculous a hand or foot is offside but VAR should be fucked off, it’s just swapping one refs perspective to another.However they do it, the margin is too small.
The rule used to be 'daylight' between the players. That's closer to where the line should be. Draw one line at the last man & the offside line a foot further, giving strikers the 'benefit of the doubt' leeway they used to have.
You can't possibly know 100% that the offside call was right. That's the point.No clear and obvious on line calls. Its either off or not. VAR got both tight calls right
Glad I'm not sat near youWhen Aguero takes a penalty I shit myself.
