Var debate 2019/20

So much wrong with football and they decide to put right what’s not really wrong We didn’t want forensic analysis of goals, we didn’t want the handball law changing to make the offence different for defenders than attackers, didn’t want players to be found mm offside What we want is for the game to go back to pre-VAR even if the ref makes a mistake Please can we have our beautiful game back, please
 
The only reason we’ve needs VAR is because of TV coverage and analysis, they created this monster and the pressure it’s put on refs. If no game was televised then that goal would’ve counted yesterday but nothing can be unseen now, unless of course it’s a foul on Rodri!

Don't know if it's been mentioned earlier but looking at the replay it looks to me that it brushed the defender arm as well which if true it should have been a pen but I suppose it will then depend which arm it touches first.

If the ball hits the defenders arm then it's not a penalty because it was accidental. If the ball hit Laporte's arm then the goal has to be ruled out because even though accidental, it enabled City to score.

Which is why I've been banging on here all afternoon that where is the proof it hit anyone's arm? In cricket, tennis they have all sort to prove it. In football we just have opinion with possible hidden agendas.
 
Why would anybody play cards if they knew the deck was stacked against them?

Pep might say one thing in public, probably to avoid a threat of a ban, but his interview last week when he stated we were "fucked over" with the VAR decisions in the Champions League exit to Spurs, tells you what he really thinks is happening now.

It's not even subtle, Oliver is looking directly at the penalty incident but bottles it.

He is certainly only two feet away from Bernardo being sandwiched in mid-air, having taken the piss out of Rose and two others.

They are conveniently covering each others' backs.

Oliver has the power to overrule any VAR decision with a pitchside monitor review.

As did that prick for the Llorente goal at our place.

You know, the same corrupt **** who denied City an opening Aguero penalty and instant goalkeeper red card in the game against Monaco.
 
VAR was a good idea. It worked really well in the last World Cup and if that way of using the technology had been followed, City would have progressed into the SF of the champion league and yesterdays goal would have stood. Instead rules have been changed and officious officials encouraged to find any minute detail to disallow a goal, whilst turning a blind eye to penalty shouts of the type given in Russia. It appears the current VAR and the officials interpretation is loaded in favour of the defending team!
