VAR - 2020/21

[The Future’s Blue!]

We all know that Sky/PL makes those kind of decisions.

@BlueHammer85 will tell you no problem with VAR not affecting the game at all. Yeah right.

To be fair he he says the problem isn’t VAR itself, it’s the cunts at Stockley Park

Given the fact the decision making process is clouded in the upmost secrecy I certainly believe they have huge influence. It certainly helps them control their brand.

The commentators kept saying there was no contact today Henderson on Watkins when there clearly was

Aside from the cunts at Stockley Park the technology for offsides is fatally flawed. It's hampered by the video frame rate, and ultimately subjective which leaves it wide open to corruption.

Pretty sure they are in on the scam.

Did you ever get a reply to your email?

Funnily enough, yesterday.

"Thank you very much for your e mail and question

The implementation of VARs is the responsibility of the competition organiser overseen by FIFA so we would recommend that you contact the PGMOL/PL and/or FIFA.

We hope this clarifies matters for you.

Best wishes

The IFAB"

So they passed the buck, basically. There's no point asking PGMOL.

The system is the issue. Of course the inanimate cameras aren’t a problem but the fact a human is still making decisions means that the error it supposedly erases can and will still happen. It’s a flawed system even when working well, factor in its vulnerability to manipulation and it’s a disaster

 

[Tommy_Catons_Perm]

The Clear and Obvious error is a way for them to manipulate results. There is no way teams in red do not get that penalty, and that’s before Var gets involved

Agreed. Theres so many things wrong with this phrase Clear and Obvious.

Firstly it's still subjective. What is meant by clear? How Clear?

Secondly, it's wrong for a remote match commander to watch a video in isolation and decide for himself if he thinks a "clear" mistake was made by the ref. The ref should decide.

Thirdy, the phrase really is just an excuse to review certain decisions but not others. The phrase should be changed to heads I win, tails you lose.

There is no consistency. The only thing Clear and Obvious about it is that it's bent.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Well, if the blind, partially sighted, blinkered and members of the RDAHMeedya needed any more convincing that the Rags are subjected to a different set of the LotG when the ball enters either penalty area in their games, the last crop of matches should convince them. Pooogba goes down with a fraction of the force laid on Sterling, and the BBC tells us that the blatant handball in the Rag area and subsequent two fingers from VAR is an outbreak of 'common sense'. Whatever happened to the decision that if you make yourself bigger by extending your arm it was always a pen! The PL and PiGMOL are gonna commit their best to a Rag title. Mind, we have been giving them a bit of hope, lately.

Exactly.

The subjective nature of the clear and obvious error combined with the subjective nature of tight offside rulings means the system is wide open to corruption. If you add the fact that they just make up handball rulings as they go along the whole thing is a steaming pile of shite.

Its the old story, Follow the Money.

I'm sure in the first half on Saturday, chelsea were attacking and a player looked offside but the liner never flagged, play carried on without a city player touching the ball, chelsea kept the ball and worked it to near the box where they got the free kick,but a replay showed they were originally off side,and they were allowed to take the free kick, that cannot be right.

Making it up as they go along.

VAR controversies are also masking the fact that officials are STILL up to their old classic game management tricks such as disproportionate application of the LotG and playing advantage.

How many fouls did Chelsea get away with that would have been given against us?

You did, this is where it falls down, they’re literally waiting for us to get possession back before flagging, Chelsea players knew he was offside & despite being a counter attacking team, recycled possession back into their own half, smart play but once the ball went back the liner should’ve flagged as it was entering a new phase and VAR should’ve instructed him to do so, had they scored from the free kick Dermot would’ve been trotting out “phase of play “ blah blah” he got it wrong but the process is right so he actually got it right” blah blah

Atwell is the incompetent twat that gave the phantom goal years ago so we all know how big his brown envelopes are!

fixed it for you.

Trevor Sinclair and Matterface said the same thing in their commentary on talkshite. Along with Pep telling Moss.

My son and I kept asking each other, “When is the linesman going to flag?” When they got the free kick and nothing happened, we asked, “It’s been so long, did he forget?”!!!

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

The Harry Kane goal can't be offside because the equipment is not accurate enough to measure distance down to such small amounts. The decision on when the ball is played depends on when you freeze the frame and then the shutter speed. It is only accurate within 13cms in either direction so you have to make allowance for a margin of error of at least 26cms. What is happening is a disgrace.
