Well that was the idea behind the 'clear and obvious error' rule that they supposedly have. But it doesn't apply to offside, apparently, because obviously the technology is so accurate.I hate VAR but am a realist. It is here. We could really learn from cricket in these instances though. For the mm offside ones you could have “refs call” as they do with umpire calls in cricket.
Apparently if Rice didnt touch the ball the penalty wouldn't of been retaken.
3 or 4 West Ham players encroached and a couple of ours I think, but only one touched it Rice, and therefore he was the one that gained an advantage, so it was rightly retaken, and Dean clearly told him, a life lesson for him, as he may still have got there without the encroachment.Don’t know about that waspish,but I remember them saying they were clamping down on encroachment..
Spot on. I often wondered how I could wean myself from football to the point where I could finally become an armchair fan (having no desire to be driving 3 hours to Manchester as I become elderly) and VAR is clearly the solution. Just what benefit is there now left for wasting 6 hours traveling, putting 250 miles on my car, spending £40 on fuel to stand in the stadium waiting to celebrate a goal while some tv production engineer scribbles his interpretation of straight lines on whatever frame of film he's decided to analyse. In short, it's bollocks.VAR will completely dehumanize football in the end. The first step will be to start changing the rules to suit VAR.
I feel the sameThis is the whole point. Eveyone should ask themselves if they are happy to never fully celebrate a goal 100% ever again? If thats the case its goodbye gootball grom me!
I’m sure there’s must be a solution for that easily.Interesting idea but where the chip is on both players and balls will lead to error

Don’t know if it’s been posted,but the retaken pen was for encroachment I think by rice,the keeper staying on his line if I remember was not brought in by the premier league which caused controversy at the women’s World Cup ...
On the second goal, had KdB passed it to him on the other side instead of Sterling, he was also offside.
Retaken due to rice touching the ball after encroachment and gaining an advantage if he doesn’t touch it no retaken pen then ...Yeah i dont think that decision had anything to do with VAR (?) its justs the new rules, maybe var was used as the ref may have missed the encroachment?
