FIFA Women's WC France 2019

Bloody VAR getting decisions correct. Why don’t they just let offside goals count when it’s a team we want to score.

As usual you miss the point.

Why does football want to stop goals being scored, since "offside" came into football, that goal has always stood, and the camera's aren't quick enough to be able to tell, a point which you always ignore.

 

[levets]

Hard to tell when the offside line is drawn at the defender's foot and not the body part "furthest back"

That’s a great point. If a forward is offside when any part of the body can legally score’...
Then surely the reverse for a defender. If they have a fat arse... onside :-)

Hope you feel the same in a few months time when it will have all but killed the PL. If you imagine for one minute this nonsense wont be used to favour the likes of the Rags and the Scouse you must live on a different planet. You do realise they can stop the video at the exact split second they want to, to get the decision they want yeah ?

Like it's killed the Spanish, German, Italian, and French leagues?

Millimetres, its ridiculous really.

I think for offsides there should be daylight between the players. Do we go for millimetres as in ball crossing the goal line. If a player is level are they exactly the same distance from the goal line to a millionth of an inch?

VAR is like all things in life. You love it when it goes in your favour, hate it when it goes against you.

 

[7evens]

Very small sample size to be asserting that, as the argument is about trend. What will be in the future, not what has been or is now.

The argument could end up being wrong, but there’s not sufficient evidence either way right now, as VAR implementation is in it’s infancy.

The only major impact it'll have is a couple of minor rule changes - mainly to offsides and handballs - down the line.

 

[Ohrodneyrodney]

The only arguments I've seen against VAR just seem to amount to "I celebrated a goal that didn't stand and now I'm upset".

You ever been to a game ?

Your talking bollox again. Research the technology. It's between 90-95% accurate. So around 1 out of 10 are wrong. Explain that and how it's better for the game. Utter bollox and you've deffo go shares in it haha

 

[chesterbells]

I really don't care about offside by millimetres just cos we can measure that accurate doesn't mean we have too.

If it looks Level, and that looked Level, the benefits should go to the attacking team. That’s what should happen.

US bloody time wasters

 

[SVP]

It’s clearly not though is it ?
Viewing figures and attendances have only increased since introduction of VAR.

yeah I agree never used to watch footy but now they have var it's great.
