VAR - 2020/21

[Gorton_Tubster]

So you advacate the below which the official deemed offside (3.3 meters onside for reference), than VAR which granted isnt 100% perfect but is a damm sight more accurate than corrupt officials left to their own devices...

We're still getting crappy decisions though! I am not even going to bother with pictures because we all know it. And I think it's still feels around the same number of scandals (Pre-VAR v post-var)

I would rather have the crappy decisions without all the VAR nonsense.

(I've also got bored of years of "Its the refs not the tech" or "its the laws not the tech")

Just one other point. Why would an idiot at Stockley Park talking to an idiot at The Swamp be any less corrupt if the crowd could hear what he is saying?
It is the corrupt, unaccountable Pigmol that is the problem.

They should be in Andy Townsend's old tactics truck at the ground. Tea and biscuits in a warm office watching football leads to getting too comfy knowing you aren't anywhere near the scene of the crime to face any blowback.

this is what you get with it

They were all on field incorrect decisions originally unless im mistaken!!

As i have previously said, its not perfect but it is catching some of the errors. Eg, Maguire’s Penalty from last week which is better than nothing/going back to old model...

It should be catching all of the errors above, better than nothing is not good enough.

But were any of them corrected by those operating VAR?

Have you read what I put? I said millimetres so how do you get 3.3 metres. If the tech isn't good enough use it but go back to 'daylight between players' so if an official does miss an obvious offside it is corrected. It should not be about big toes.
Second if you believe the man in the middle is corrupt, your words, why does he stop being corrupt when he is sat in front of a video screen?

Yes obviously. You were complaining about millimetres in the world of VAR. In the example i gave the linesman gave offside for one that was 3.3 METERS ONSIDE. And you advocate not having VAR over that??

It may not be perfect or 100% accurate on those really fine calls. Id say the offside law needs changing, as some of those very tight decisions are not in the spirit of the law. But its infinitely better than the old model. the alternative is the Rags get decisions like the one above.

As for your comment above about being corrupt in front of the VAR screen. I refer you back to the Rags/Arsenal offside. Without VAR offside is called (3.3 meters onside) by the onfield official's and the goal doesnt stand. Thankfully as it was checked by VAR the goal stood and the officials had no way of influencing the result with a corrupt decision (3.3 Meters, just let than sink in).

Is it perfect, No.

Does it need to improve and be transparent, Yes!

Is it better than letting officials have free reign to continue making corrupt decisions without any chance of reproach, Yes!!

Those examples no. But Rags would have likely won at west brom without VAR and Leicesters first goal wouldnt have stood against liverpool in the last week or so! West Ham’s 2nd goal against Spuds this weekend wouldnt have stood. All those 3 examples would most likely have secured extra points unfairly for the 3 teams mentioned

Its far from perfect as per those examples, but we saw in the last Championship season how many dodgy offside calls Liverpool got and it could have easily cost us a title...

Give me VAR anyday over what went before, see below

I am not advocating getting rid of VAR but would like it used properly and be operated by an independent body, as I do not trust PGMOL. Also I would like some action to be taken on players who persistently dive.

Im 100% with you on that
