Ref Watch

[creditunionhero]

VAR is used for every goal. VAR agreed with referee.

So how did the referee decide there was no interference without viewing the video.

If the on field decision was offside then surely it is up to the referee to review the decision, the ref did not look at the screen so how can var decide no interference. Howard Webb has said var should not interfer with on field decisions.

Plus I thought VAR checked all goals. At minimum, Attwell should have been asked to visit a screen.

We'll NEVER know the true facts of who gave it.

HOWEVER, someone other than Atwell seemed to have an undue influence on the outcome of that game today.

Agree they lay on Attwell who will be still be officiating in the premier league no punishment at all for a referee is so piss poor he gave a goal that did not even go in the goal! He is there go to guy for corrupt game changing decision for any game the premier want to influence!

The ref judges what he saw - that is all.
VAR will only suggest a screen review if they think the decision is a clear error.

We already clearly have Walton agreeing with Atwell suggests that the VAR could as well, and then there will be no screen review.

You again - if I said it was Saturday, you'd fucking disagree!

Which is what Foden was flagged offside for yet the decision was upheld.

Sometimes a poster becomes so entrenched in an unsustainable argument that they lose all vestiges of credibility. It's not worth engaging with them.

without watching a reply on var screens how can the officials be 100% sure that Rashford didnt touch the ball.

VAR is used for every goal. VAR agreed with referee.

Even when the ref is clearly wrong VAR agrees.

At the beginning of I think this season we were told that in the case of tight offsides and if there was an immediate goal scoring opportunity then the flag should stay down and if a goal was scored then the flag would be raised and VAR would look at it. Remember the Mahrez goal against the rags earlier this season. Flag was raised after he scored and pretty much everyone thought he was offside. VAR looked at it and it was a goal. Foden was flagged straight away today because there was no immediate goal scoring opportunity. That said it was incredibly tight. Now this is where it gets interesting as the liner must have known Rashford was off and was at least two yards off so not a tight call at all. He couldn’t have seen any other player straight away to conclude it was an immediate goal scoring opportunity with a tight offside call. Have the instructions to the liners changed? Was he 100% certain Foden was off in the first half yet then decided that two yards off was a tight call as so no flag. Not sure why VAR didn’t check goal unless on the comms Twatwell said that whilst offside he didn’t think player was interfering. If that is the case then he needs to be suspended for the rest of the season for rewriting the LOTG mid season. Whichever way you look at it this goal has corruption / bias / incompetence written all over it and the club needs to raise serious concerns. Fucked over today and against Neverton. Coincidence, I don’t think so

Ah, but the ref asked the lino whether Rashers touched or not and the lino sez NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Says it all when other supporters(including dippers) can't believe the goal was given

 

[Allnightlong]

Ah, but the ref asked the lino whether Rashers touched or not and the lino sez NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

but the lino flagged for offside, correctly, so the ref over ruled a linesmans call because he .........of fuck it I dont understand footy anymore!

The LotG will be tightened up by next Thursday to make sure Spurs, the Dippers, the Rags n' the Arse don't suffer a similar fate.

but they will still be written in such a wooly and subjective language that loopholes in these new laws will still exist. These loopholes can then be applied when necessary so that a specific ref can "interpret" them whatever way they please. Tell me I'm wrong! I dare you :)

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

So how did the referee decide there was no interference without viewing the video.

We can see why PiGMOL and the PL will never agree to refs doing a 'post-match' as managers do. There are so many questions arising out of that one incident that Attwell would still be in front of the camera squirming. Seems pretty logical why he got the gig in the first place, and the Bottler on hand to make sure he didn't give a goal for the ball going a yard wide.

There's little problem with the laws as they are written - it's the fuckin' interpretation that changes week by week, ref by ref, and half by half!

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

Not even sure why there’s a debate about this.
The big nosed **** is clearly offside and more importantly active in the play.
I’ll pretty much guarantee they’ll be some sort statement clearing this up.
By clearing it up I mean so this kind of goal won’t be able to stand in the future, just like it hasn’t in the past.

Like Rashford's "accidental handball" goal earlier in the season, has there been another "accidental handball" goal that VAR has refused to disallow?

 

[Damanino]

watch us score an exact same goal very soon only to be checked by VAR and taken away.

I’m getting used to it now.
Next season we need a free tube ky jelly in our season ticket tin

Despite having absolutely no way of knowing that he didn’t touch the ball.

 

[SebastianBlue]

watch us score an exact same goal very soon only to be checked by VAR and taken away.

At which point the officials and league reps will say “we changed the application of the rule because of your complaint!”

Rinse, repeat.
