Var debate 2019/20

[pirate]

VAR as its being used is killing the game
its needs to either be fucked right off or have a huge overhall

I am deffo in the fucking it right off camp

 

[roman totale]

They had better not change it in feb,they have already changed it to var overturning refs all of a sudden recently,sort out the shitshow in the summer

Yep. But make sure that the dipper’s record is forever notated with an asterisk, to remind everyone that they won it in an ‘experimental’ season.

Liverpool have had 2 mane goals disallowed at watford and the rags. Plus frimino had one disallowed at villa!! They’ve also had the rub of the green against us with the TAA none handball but its hardly all in their favour is it!!??

I did already address this point in the original post you responded to. Liverpool have had several favourable decisions influencing the final result, City haven't up to the Wolves game. Is that difficult to grasp?

 

[ScottSinclair]

OK then, can you tell me then if all these marginal millimetre decisions are being called correctly by VAR why the fcuk we got fcuk all decisions at Anfield recently?

Can you tell me why the Egyptian divers goal wasn't ruled out for offside?

You mention Sheff Utd's, Wolves and Firmino goals being chalked off for marginal offsides but the divers wasn't even reviewed ffs..!

Wasn't that (goal) exactly like the above situations.?

You would think in such an important game at the top of the table, it should have been afforded a little bit more VAR scrunity than the several seconds it took to give the goal, would you not agree ?

The whole Premier League supporting fan base is going ape shit regarding the abomination that is VAR and one song you won't hear the KOP singing is FUCK VAR, they must be happy with the decisions they're getting then, would you agree ..?



Nothing to see, move along now..!

Because John Stones played him onside. It was fairly obvious.

I agree that VAR should have been more transparent in the moment it happened, I thought it was amateurish from the broadcasters. Pissed me off at the time.

But John Stones was ahead of him, playing him onside, so your point is redundant

It wasn't obvious though.

Football's law-makers say the video assistant referee system should not be "too forensic" when it comes to offsides - and should only be used to reverse "clear and obvious" errors.

Five goals in the Premier League were ruled out at the weekend for marginal offsides, leading some managers and players to criticise VAR.

Lukas Brud, general secretary of the International Football Association Board, said: "With VAR we see some things that are going in a direction that we may need to re-adjust."

He said the body would reissue guidance on VAR's use after its annual general meeting in February.

"If you spend multiple minutes trying to identify whether it is offside or not, then it's not clear and obvious and the original decision should stand," he said.

He added: "What we really need to stress is that 'clear and obvious' applies to every single situation that is being reviewed by the VAR or the referee.

"In theory, 1mm offside is offside, but if a decision is taken that a player is not offside and the VAR is trying to identify through looking at five, six, seven, 10, 12 cameras whether or not it was offside, then the original decision should stand.

"This is the problem. People are trying to be too forensic. We are not looking to make a better decision, we are trying to get rid of the clear and obvious mistakes.

"If video evidence shows that a player was in an offside position, he was offside full stop. If it's not obvious, then the decision cannot be changed, you stay with the original decision.

"We will be communicating to all competitions that are using VAR some updates in the coming weeks, because we are observing some developments that are not particularly the way they should be."

I rather they changed it as quickly as possible, but I see your point. I don't think this is the right change either though.

What will happen now is that even more obvious offsides than just the millimetre ones start slipping by, which will cause even more controversy

 

[ScottSinclair]

It wasn't obvious though.

It was though. Stones is obviously ahead of Salah and Fernandinho and his foot is closest to goal.

The ball in the pic also seems to already have been passed by robertson, which with common sense I would assume Salah was a bit deeper even

Edit:sorry to dense to link images

Progress often happens in fits and starts.

This season VAR has had us all in fits, so hopefully they will change it so that next season it starts properly!!

You forgot the lines pal. He's further off than Pukki & Sterling were in similar situations.

Wasting your time mate , I think he’s about 12
