VAR - 2020/21

[Xhavenjoe]

Lino flags Man City offside.
Cancelo with a brilliant finish.
VAR shows he was onside.
Goal stands.

what a shame that would normally have been ruled out.

Yes, if the ref had spotted the flag he'd have blown up before it even came to cancelo

and it is still shite. I was always told you cannot have 2 masters. Massey believed the passage of play had finished so she flagged for offside, the ref should have blown when she flagged, he didnt and now we have this farce.

We either have linesmen or we have VAR we cannot have both. VAR and the people using it are making football a joke. How is Msssey meant to decide when the attack is over to put her flag up ?

The ref is alerted to the flag being raised by a monitor on his wrist. he (wrongly ?) over ruled the lino.
As per my other post. You cannot have two people in charge because we get this farce where WBA players stopped as she was flagging.

Massey shouldn’t have put her flag up until the play had finished as in goal scored which it was..

when the ball is either cleared or goes out of play would be a start, we were still attacking.

he rightly carried on because she didn't do her job properly and got it wrong.

Then I vote heavily in favour of VAR.
Seen enough ridiculous offside decisions to remember what it’s like without VAR. cancelo wonderful goal would have been ruled out. Stupid.

Yes, VAR can get it wrong when the margins are millimetres- but with clearer rule changes it can work much better.

The irony is VAR came about because of inept lines”people” in the first place. Why did she flag in the first place, if she wasn’t hell bent on denying us she could have saved her face knowing VAR would sort it all out for her.

More fool them, you play to the whistle not the flag. The ref is not obliged to stop play if the assistant flags - in this case the ref was quite correct to let play continue as the attack was continuing. Sian Massey made an error by raising the flag too soon, unusually because she's one of the better assistants.

Yes we know you would, you tell us every second day. I do not know a City fan that would keep it, the game is slowed down, there are stupid decisions made by unaccountable men 200 miles away and it is not infallible. The idiot in the middle with the whistle now has an idiot with a tv screen helping him be that idiot.
They will no doubt clarify the perfectly good offside rule after tonight just as they did after Villa and none of us will be any the wiser.
