VAR - 2020/21

[BlueHammer85]

Lots of controversies over VAR this weekend
Rags and Dippers fans aplenty saying they’re finished with the game and throwing toys out of the pram

Does this put to bed VAR is not designed in their favour ?

Does this put to bed VAR is not designed in their favour ?

Possibly, but still feel we get done over more than others. It's still a tool that can and for me will be manipulated to decide games at certain points and the Stones example for me would have been called a pen in certain games with multiple replays being shown and the commentators putting their spin on it to highlight the fact.

I also think that the amount of decisions certain teams have had already has got them into the position they are now and at this point it will become less obvious unless against us.

but United and Liverpool need the points now more than ever, but in recent weeks decisions are not going on there favour and they’re crying about VAR and corruption probably

You only think that as you watch every City game. Var has also awarded us two goals that Sian Massey-Ellis has tried to disallow.

Both mistakes by her if i recall ? It's always going to cause debate whichever side you follow. Between VAR and officiating we definitely get treated differently, whether its cards for fouling or VAR not getting multiple replays to see incidents to me it still stinks.

 

[RayCTID]

United and the Liverpool haven't done too badly when it comes to VAR decisions.

My point is they have already benefitted enough from officiating and VAR to get them where they are, it's fine margins but they will always be treated differently in my eyes, the start of the season gets forgotten by everyone at this point and they both wouldn't be where they are if the fine margins went the other way.

The game on Saturday was the final nail for me. So much fouling in the penalty area and non of it called even after being reviewed by VAR. Even the commentators asked how the Stones foul was not given. Still nothing will happen. Bit like Bori getting away with everything.

No, as we get done when it matters.

Decision just now in the baggies game.


At this point it has gone beyond incompetence for me, it feels like there is a clear position from the refs to deliberately use VAR incorrectly so that it causes enough storm that its simply removed and the PiGMOL can go back to their little cabal without ever having to worry about a load of fancy lines and tv cameras exploting their clear corruption.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I think PiGMOL have suggested in the past that they didn't want the public to be privvy to the effin' 'n jeffin when it looked as though VAR might chalk off a Rag or Dipper goal. Funny that we don't hear any profanities whenever I've watched rugby or cricket. I think they just don't want us to hear what they are considering, what they are basing the final decision on and whether what they have said matches what we've seen and conforms with the written LotG.

 

[Tommy_Catons_Perm]

Just watched a replay of it and it's true that a definitive line cannot be drawn through the goal scorer and the last defender at the same time.

But why does a line need drawing anyway? It can be clearly seen by eye that it is not offside. And for that reason VAR Is utter bollocks.

Linesman don`t draw lines in real life. Because they can`t. So why should VAR draw lines when it can't either.. Especially when it can't for a multitude of reasons such as perspective, frame rate, tolerance......and now non existent video.....

VAR what was the point for bring it in the game ? clear and obvious mistakes
well if the system is making clear and obvious mistakes how can it be good for the game

the system is being run by the wrong people that made the mistakes in the first place so why put them in control of VAR. the systems needs a big review and take it out of the hands of the officials that can not use it

also both clubs in games using VAR should be allowed a club official in the studio to over look what's going on and can ask for a review

And the fabled 99.7% accuracy stat tumbles ever lower....

I don't understand how pigmob can control the Premier League like they do. They cannot be punished if they cock up and are answerable to no one.
Sky/bt know more about what is being discussed at Stockley Park than the clubs, how can that be right.

The Southampton number 3 is actually sitting on one of the blue lines. This has to be interference by VAR, and the goal should be disallowed. But what are the blue lines actually doing? In my mind, they shouldn't even be on the pitch, so this should be seen as interference by an outside agent, and a drop ball is the correct decision. Uncontested (by the defending team), of course, as the attacking team was in possession at the time of the incident.

Brilliant. And correct.
