Var debate 2019/20

[Indaparkside]

They asked 1,400 people is var working well, 1,400 people ffs that’s a pinhead of people that attend premier league games every week.

Source: you gov

Keep using, with changes 74%
Stop using entirely 15%
Keep using without changes8%
Don’t know 3%

This survey is not a true reflection of the match going fans.

My point is out of the 1,400 people are they match attending supporters
Just some random person in the street
We don’t know, but surely you can’t take this survey at face value

Well, this time they got it right, I guess.

That VAR line isnt running parallel with the edge of the 18yrd box !

That is a long way before the goal and the first ball forward goes nowhere near the player in the centre!! It’s deliberately being used to rule out the goal.

Not sure what that means. If you're offside when the ball is played you can't get yourself back onside.

The ball wasnt played to the lad stood offside so its play on and by the time he did get the ball to score from the header he was back onside and being played onside.

Agree that's why this could be my last season as a match going fan, the game is as bent as a 9 bob note yet no one in the press/media is investing this , it stinks

Think you can if the ball isn't played to you ,but goes to another player who then plays it to you when you get in an onside position.

Yer right - players can be in an offside position but not classed as offside. Once you become involved in the play directly then yer off. If a player is in front of the ball but doesn't have it passed to him, and the ball is passed to a team mate who isn't offside, and you then move from an offside position to being onside that phase of play is over and done with, you shouldn't be given offside retrospectively if yer never had a touch of the ball in active play! The offside law used to be black and white, like being pregnant! All these ex-pros who come up with descriptions of offside in order to minimise the notion of offside - close, tight, marginal - talk the usual bollocks. Offside is offside, yer either on or yer off, no halfway house. But we have seen the offside law trashed by the Whistling Wankers so that we now have a law that can be interpreted depending on who's scored and what the state of the game is. Have we ever had a VAR decision after scoring where the decision was inconclusive? Every millimetre is scoured to render a good goal offside.

But that didn't happen in this case.

But I've just spent ages looking at a replay of the disallowed goal and it seems not to want to let me freeze it at the point where VAR froze it. I'm actually a wee bit suspicious...

The offside given was against the player who received the ball. His foot is offside (at the moment VAR freezes it).

What VAR freeze frame is that because i have not seen a single one?

P. 1133. Post with a twitter video of the wrong bit then VAR still. The blue line for the defenders seems drawn to a Liverpool player's hand rather than body so the Shrewsbury player in the still looks even more offside. It just doesn't look anything like that in the replays of the live action.
