VAR - 2020/21

[The Future’s Blue!]

We all know that Sky/PL makes those kind of decisions.

@BlueHammer85 will tell you no problem with VAR not affecting the game at all. Yeah right.

To be fair he he says the problem isn’t VAR itself, it’s the cunts at Stockley Park

Given the fact the decision making process is clouded in the upmost secrecy I certainly believe they have huge influence. It certainly helps them control their brand.

The commentators kept saying there was no contact today Henderson on Watkins when there clearly was

Aside from the cunts at Stockley Park the technology for offsides is fatally flawed. It's hampered by the video frame rate, and ultimately subjective which leaves it wide open to corruption.

Pretty sure they are in on the scam.

Did you ever get a reply to your email?

Funnily enough, yesterday.

"Thank you very much for your e mail and question

The implementation of VARs is the responsibility of the competition organiser overseen by FIFA so we would recommend that you contact the PGMOL/PL and/or FIFA.

We hope this clarifies matters for you.

Best wishes

The IFAB"

So they passed the buck, basically. There's no point asking PGMOL.

The system is the issue. Of course the inanimate cameras aren’t a problem but the fact a human is still making decisions means that the error it supposedly erases can and will still happen. It’s a flawed system even when working well, factor in its vulnerability to manipulation and it’s a disaster

The Clear and Obvious error is a way for them to manipulate results. There is no way teams in red do not get that penalty, and that’s before Var gets involved

Agreed. Theres so many things wrong with this phrase Clear and Obvious.

Firstly it's still subjective. What is meant by clear? How Clear?

Secondly, it's wrong for a remote match commander to watch a video in isolation and decide for himself if he thinks a "clear" mistake was made by the ref. The ref should decide.

Thirdy, the phrase really is just an excuse to review certain decisions but not others. The phrase should be changed to heads I win, tails you lose.

There is no consistency. The only thing Clear and Obvious about it is that it's bent.

Well, if the blind, partially sighted, blinkered and members of the RDAHMeedya needed any more convincing that the Rags are subjected to a different set of the LotG when the ball enters either penalty area in their games, the last crop of matches should convince them. Pooogba goes down with a fraction of the force laid on Sterling, and the BBC tells us that the blatant handball in the Rag area and subsequent two fingers from VAR is an outbreak of 'common sense'. Whatever happened to the decision that if you make yourself bigger by extending your arm it was always a pen! The PL and PiGMOL are gonna commit their best to a Rag title. Mind, we have been giving them a bit of hope, lately.
