VAR - 2020/21

[Fame Monster]

Collina is the biggest **** in football. Nobody's ever ruined the game quite like he has.

where is VAR headquarters in the champions league matches. Could have sworn I heard that the VAR officials were the same people for both matches tonight

Not correct, it was German referees for both games but different teams for VAR.

Interestingly, Juventus had Darko Ceferin as the referee observer tonight, I wonder if he's any relation to his UEFA president namesake?

How the fuck can you get a penalty after the ball hits your leg and then hits your hand, oh hang on LiVARpool rules again :(

First weekend and shit decisions already. Football died with VAR

Football is fucking finished.

They are very precise that's the problem, they know what they're doing.

I've had renewal doubts, with the delay in allowing us back in how var works at the start of the season, it could be a clincher.

They are not precise though, and that's the problem. In all but the most obvious offside decisions, they have the ability to select the frame which gives the their preferred outcome. This is due to the relatively slow frame rate of the camera and the speed of the player. They can also select the point at which they decide the ball is passed, which could be as much as 60cm (about 2') difference. It is SELECTIVE and SUBJECTIVE, and as such open to corruption. And what's more is that it has been sold as transparent, which is worse.

The way it has been implemented and manipulated managed in the PL has been nothing short of criminal.

Have not seen the games today but listened on my way back from work. They mentioned a goal being disallowed for off side,rightly so as they could see the lines on the screen. Now I thought the dodgy lines were a thing of the past

Sky will just draw them on anyway, sometimes even at a slight angle.

And BT will select certain defenders and, by sleight of hand, move them back towards their own goal line, to render one of their favoured attackers onside!

I still don’t like the fact that the commentator’s can see the VAR decisions before we are even informed if it’s a goal or been disallowed or red card and so on ..
