Var debate 2019/20

[cleavers]

Best case scenario I can see is that we are stuck with it for this season, and it is fucked off at the end. However, I doubt they will want the dippers' win to be so obviously tainted.

Its not going to be "fucked off" I'm afraid, its here to stay, but it looks like IFAB are going to instruct those using it, to use it the way it was meant to be used (ie not to manipulate competition winners), for clean and obvious error's, that'll help a bit, but it needs to become more transparent, and far less "forensic", and some laws need to be adjusted.

Goals are the main point of football, so VAR needs to be stopped from trying to prevent them, if anything it should be being used to encourage more.

JUST GET FUCKING RID!

I DON'T GIVE A FUCK IF REFEREES GET SOME DECISIONS WRONG, I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO CELEBRATE A GOAL WHEN IT'S SCORED WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT WHETHER THERE'S A MINOR INFRACTION IN THE PREVIOUS 5 FUCKING MINUTES THAT MAY LEAD TO THE GOAL BEING RULED OUT.

Yea in the 'old days' we would jump up and down like a numpty than with in seconds be brought down to earth by the ref or lineo now it can take minutes.....thankfully it wasnt around on 93:20..

I think the ref would have blown when mario went down or when sergio rode the first challenge,can you imagine the whistle going but sergio scoring anyway and it's brought back for a pen that mario misses,i think there would have been a riot

So both Walton and Gallagher have come out and said they dont know the threshold. That says VAR isnt fit for purpose and the refs/people running arent fit for purpose even if they are following instructions..

Agree.

I think this season for lots of fans from lots of clubs it's well and truly tainted this season

I wouldn't trust anything both of them say, especially that scouse **** Walton.

Jesus beating 2 men to the ball and score is irrelevant. VAR looks for handball in the build-up, and the law says if its found the goal have to be ruled out. Again, the law is the wrong party here. Not VAR.

Why are you talking about the Law as if you are an authority on it? It has already been explained to you that the Law does not preclude the Jesus goal after the ball touched Laporte's hand. Don't just ignore this information as if it doesn't exist. Do yourself a favour, read up on it, and then your arguments will be much better informed.

The Law is precisely that. It can't be wrong. It is the application of the Law that is wrong. And this skewed application has led to clarifications, explanations, interpretations, confusion, obfuscation, excuses, lies and corruption.

We see the chief at IFAB claiming this is what football wants. It isn't. The powers want a different PL winner, and they will achieve that. The cost though, is any goodwill built up over many years. Fans falling out of love with the game, turning against other fanbases and even their own fans.

Do we know 100% it touched laporte hand from the pictures I have seen it could touch the defender or laporte. I havent seen anything that shows that 100% abit like VVD last night ! We all thought VVD handled the ball apart from VAR who weren't sure lol
