Var debate 2019/20

I said that to the wife at the time.

Same.

Should only be clear and obvious errors, like cricket.

There also needs to be a tolerance. No measurement is exact. In the aircraft industry, quarter inch holes typically have a tolerance of 4 thou. It sounds silly but surely it's logical if VAR claims to measure in mm?

That’s the point. We are using technology and it should be flawless. If var wants to go in minute nano details then it has to be done in way where there’s no question asked . Today they are depending on line drawn from the front .

Those complaining about var will soon change thier mind when the decision goes our way.
If var was in place in the champions league for the game against Liverpool a couple of years ago, we would have gone through.

Offside should be if every part of your body that can score is offside, then it’s offside.

If West Ham got a goal chalked off like us I would have thought it was a shit decision.

I'm sure someone will be along to say it was in place for the Spurs handball goal!

I'd agree but that offside doesn't even get checked by VAR when they score it. Wait and see.

Peter Walton sums up my distrust of VAR - he thinks it's perfect!

The VAR for Balotellis shoulder...sorry Sterlings shoulder is an interesting one?

Outstretched boot, head, backside, knee all extremities but end of the arm to shoulder? baggy shirt, tight shirt?

Where do you draw the line...? Wherever the VAR guy wants to obviously.......

I understand onfield ref isnt involved for "factual" decisions eg in or outside of the box for a penalty or encroachment

and for offside. However, the sterling offside is an interpretation of where the arm stops and shoulder starts, so in

effect its subjective, so really should be tossed back to the onfield ref for his view, as it's his view that should be called

upon for, just as in other subjective decisions, eg possible handall or foul would be reviewed by him/her for penalty decision?
