Var debate 2019/20

[M12Blue]

This is why I think the answer is to allow a “margin for error” - pretty sure they could work out approximately how far a player moves on average between frames, then for example give a 3 inches allowance on the VAR decision for benefit of doubt to attacker. They then move the line on the freeze frame by that distance when reviewing.

Job done.

Yep, very few players will run 100m in under 10s at full pelt, so there’s the standard speed

whether it is mm or the thickness of the lines, where the elbow starts etc etc, it's the new thing to debate but.... It WILL stop this sort of thing in future

They’d just photoshop Milner into a West Ham top and hope no one noticed

If the Dippers, rags and our other rivals get the same treatment as Raz did yesterday then it'll be fine.

They won't though, and as Friday and yesterday the games will still be manipulated to make it easier for them and harder for us.

Summed up by MOTD deliberately choosing to show a couple of genuine Rodri challenges to win the ball and label it tactical fouling.

that shouldnt even have to go to VAR,maybe if we educated the refs and linesmen we would not need VAR at all

Hahahahaha I wouldn’t hold my breath with it being them cnuts involved...

I’m sort of hoping for a couple of incidents similar to ours in the rag v Chelsea game just to see if it’s a level playing field with VAR,you just feel that slightly bit suspicious with neither the scousers or rags having tv screens to show the fans and watching public what’s going on hmmmm..

 

[SWP's back]

well that all depends who's on the VAR panel, can you honestly say and hold your hands up that 3 guys locked in a room are completely free of any influence and if you can prove it, i cant and wouldnt trust that 3rd party to make the correct decision, yes we have had bent refs but even a single bent ref can only do so much until it comes to light what he's up to, nothing has been wrong with the single ref system for over 100 years, yes we get bad decisions but the common phrase 'it evens itself out' and it did, all they have done is take a single human decision out and given it to 3 people tucked away in a room, whoever is responsible for introducing this mess needs educating..just my take

Of course it did not even itself out. That is the biggest bullshit cliche going.

Liverpool scored 11 offside goals last season and conceded 1.

Var isn’t perfect but it’s a lot better than the old system if accuracy and fewer errors is one’s target

 

[Neville Kneville]

I've got to say the one allowed to stand looked more offside than the one disallowed both were so tight, I don't think the var review proved anything.

I agree.

The 1st was less offside than the 2nd. A shit lino may have given either off in the past but then everyone would have said afterwards that he should have given Sterling advantage & that should be the setup for v.a.r. now; to try & have more marginal goals allowed, not more disallowed.

little chance I know but it HAS to go. apart from the obvious chance to manufacture a result it just doesn't work.by my reckoning Sterling was off, just but off, for his second goal. For fans its a nightmare, our game has gone. We no longer watch a live game , we watch a television show, football is no longer played on grass, in fact what takes place on the field of play is now irrelevant. A TV producers decides the result of every game. At Norwich yesterday hardly anyone budged when the 3rd goal went in, the players displayed muted cheer. that's not football ffs. I have already decided to duck Bournemouth but will now spurn all away games unless the town itself is worth the visit. too much money, you can watch tv at home. in truth that's exactly what sky want so they will push VAR all day long.

Staggering that those two grounds don't have big screens.
