VAR - 2020/21

[bluealf]

On the replays the commentator said it was just "determined defending"

Wow, I missed that, credit to Savage and the other guy on BT who said from the off it was a definite pen.

 

[Franny's toilet roll]

Definite penalty for Jesus last night. Very similar to the disallowed non penalty/ Aguero dive last season that sidelined him for months

perspective in this pic looks well off too me. Look at halfway line angle and distances from edge of pic to top and bottom of line.
THe angle for the offside line looks much more 'tilted' than the hw line as well

I think the only way they can regain fans trust for VAR is to make it totally transparent. Tough to do though when the action is still ongoing like last night's non-penalty while decisions are being deliberated. Wouldn't help fans in the stadiums when they return but maybe release transcripts of the VAR referee's decisions which can be relayed on any highlights/match re-run programme's to get around this.

I know they won't as match officials don't seem to like being held accountable nor do their respective organisations like to admit they get things wrong.

I had a bet on ffs. Not only were City robbed of a Pen & another goal to help the GD I was taxed too Haha. 28-1 on City to win 3-0 Jesus to score first. We won that's the main thing but I was royally pissed off at the time in the game

Ha! I’ve found this recently. City will be winning and I’m still. It satisfied because I need a foden goal or a Mahrez shot on target ha!

I get your point about the transparency and I agree...we should be able to hear their conversations and the logic behind decisions....

But if that was the case all we’d hear is more Peter Walton type nonsense and would infuriate is even more

Surprise surprise, they overturn Bednereks red card, that was literally given by VAR. So are they just admitting they are incompetent or corrupt? Which one is it?

Two option really
1. He made a genuine attempt to play the ball so still a pen but not a red. No chance
2. Admit that Mike Dean got the first decision wrong. OK fair enough mistakes happen. But then the var ref thinks its a foul as well because he tells Mike Dean to check for a red card. Then Mike Dean looks at the screen and still thinks it a foul

One mistake in real time anyone can accept but two mistakes when two different refs are looking at the screen and still thinks it's a foul is blatant cheating

And Southampton have written to the authorities requesting Dean and Mason to not referee them again! If we did that there wouldn't be many refs left to choose from.

Surely Mike Dean should be demoted to the championship for his mistake?
