VAR - 2020/21

Not open for further replies.
I contacted the Men to say that I spotted a flaw in the photo still of the Laporte "off side" goal which indicates that it has been doctored and needless to say I have not had a response from them. If you look at the photo, the yellow line should be at right angles to the parallel lines across the pitch. The yellow line is in fact drawn parallel to what is supposed to be part of box lines but it cannot be the proper line because it is not at right angles to the other box lines. Therefore it begs the question why has it been produced. This needs to be looked into. Just place a set square on the box line a you will see that it is nowhere near a right angle.

To the corruption in English football thread!

Only takes a whistleblower to come out and the house of cards will fall. Come on Halsey!

Sadly, Mark Halsey has tried to out this sort of thing before (with refs being instructed to lie that they hadn’t seen an incident in order to allow retrospective action) and was totally ignored by PGMOL and the media
 
VAR is bent , an analyst who has zero experience officiating football matches making possibly match changing decisions , he will be working to an agenda set by PGMOL and the Premier league hierarchy , VAR was brought in for entertainment value for the armchair fans and to control results of games , bent as f*ck.

Even worse, he had the authority from PGMOL to overturn the VARs decision.

This explains why Madley was not sanctioned for such an obvious mistake.

Thanks for posting. Where was it published?

It was in the Sun. No action against Madley shows that the entire decision-making process has been corrupted. We used to have a system where incompetent referees sometimes made appalling mistakes (often understandably so because of the sheer pace of the game). The idea was that VAR would help the referees. What has happened is that VAR is now being used to manipulate and undermine referees and that has opened the door to more widespread corruption and less accountability.
Decisions are being made in private rooms with no scrutiny. This is destroying the credibility of our sport and could be just as damaging long-term as the impact of drugs cheating on cycling and athletics.
 
I would recommend that anyone with concerns over this should write a polite email to IFAB, who can be contacted at lawenquiries@theifab.com.

Head honcho David Elleray has previously replied to me from this email address.

It might be interesting to hear the views of the PL also, but they are probably the instigators.

Here is mine.

-----------------------------------

Dear Sirs

There are reports emerging today, that suggest some VAR decisions are being made (or influenced) by "Match Commanders". Apparently, these "Match Commanders" have no refereeing qualifications or authority, yet they seem to be able to determine VAR outcomes.

Can you please advise as to the legitimacy of this practice by the Premier League, and where is it covered in The Laws of the Game?

Many thanks,

Paladin (real name used in email)

VAR shambles as chiefs with NO football experience 'overruling referees at Stockley Park'

VAR commanders with no authority in the Premier League are astonishingly over-ruling referees, it has been claimed. Former ref Mark Halsey has learned VAR Andy Madley was told by commander Adam Car…

If this ever gets investigated (I won’t hold my breath) it will be put down to teething problems, implementation issues, it’s getting more wrong then right. 99.7% accuracy, it will get better soon, it all evens itself out, fans are all for VAR, yadda yadda yadda

...and now we can probably better understand the offsides that are given to disallow goals (for lots of teams, not just City), which initially had lines drawn that showed the "scorer" to be ONSIDE which were then manipulated ever so slightly to include arms/toes/chests/etc. to show us all that it was "actually" OFFSIDE.

Some match analyst having a word in the VARs ear saying "disallow it".

It's not beyond the realms of possibility, is it?

It's not beyond possibility at all. In fact it's highly likely exactly what's going on.

There will be a media blackout on this, guaranteed. Need some City journalists to hold their feet to the fire

100% this.

On Football Focus tomorrow this SHOULD be the main, and possibly only, topic of conversation, it won't even be mentioned, guaranteed.

But because they're all travelling in first class compartments on the gravy train that is top flight football, and are all no doubt aware of the bias/corruption/match manipulation that goes on, rocking the boat would be an act of self destruction.

"Nothing to see here" will be the only outcome (if it even ever gets mentioned again), possibly preceded by Rat Face Neville demanding Halsey publicly name his sources (despite knowing that they've all signed a "don't ever talk about it" contract clause and if still employed will be ruined if they do).
