Var debate 2019/20

Damn sure this tiny grey area will crop up when certain other teams are playing.

They know what they are doing. They have created the rules with enough black and white calls to rule out City goals and enough grey areas to allow Liverpool goals. They can twist it however they want. For example if it’s Liverpool they just say “the arm did not create the chance”.

Woul we have won the league last year without VAR. I don't think they would have given the goal at burnley without it, or was it already given before var intervened can't remember.

The problem yesterday wasn’t so much VAR but the stupid new hand ball rule. VAR has an impact because it highlights incidents and makes it more likely that the absurd rule will be invoked.

It was an absolute decision that the ball had crossed the line. No grey area to fuck us over

Esteemed Kompany sums up what 99% think

thats goal line tech and something completely different

Said all along it would be used as a tool to manipulate results and that’s exactly what is happening. If Liverpool or the rags scored that goal yesterday it would never have been reviewed by the VAR and we would all be none the wiser regarding the “handball”.

Exactly no one would look for it, this is why it is open to corruption

under a previous set of laws in a different competition.

Yeah, apparently. The whole concept is wrong, it's open to corruption, sucks the lifeblood out of the crowd and is going to get worse.
It's not even going to be applied to all clubs. Some will come under more scrutiny than others, as we're already seeing.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

I’d rather the referees just exercise corruption in real time. Delayed corruption from Stockley Park is miles worse.

It will add to the dilution of emotion but one thing teams need to do after scoring a last minute winner is not celebrate and get the ball back to the centre spot as quickly as possible. The longer VAR have the more chance they have of spotting something so innocuous as the handball.
