He's not facing the crowd at a match though is he.
I watched on TV. I would have loved to hear the conversation between him and Oliver for the disallowed goal and the penalty incident.
We don't get that transparency.
I believe the technology could be used for the good of the game but have no faith that it will be.
because it is correct . he gains possession of the ball for the team when the ball strikes his arm. The ball falls to jesus who then goes on to score .
you're misunderstanding what gaining possession is and what control of the ball is . They are not the same things .
"Assuming the screen was available, to not do so would be ridiculous, and make the whole system pointless."As I understand it:
VAR can overrule on line calls - offside, inside/outside the area - as these are fact not judgement (and I'm not getting into offside as fact..!).
The onfield ref has the final call.
The last point is why I don't believe VAR said it was "a C&OE and he should review it pitchside" (speech marks to convey it's all one thing). Assuming the screen was available, to not do so would be ridiculous, and make the whole system pointless.
With the Var rules regarding handballs in the box yep it was the right Decision
A heat map at a football match. We really have lost it.
Not like this,they now have the ability to hide in a van somewhere and change the result of a game,the crowd can't even boo them,2 games 2 goals that they had to pour over for 2 mins each to find a reason to disallow the goals,one by literally mms and the other when it's not clear who it hit,even if it was our man we didn't get an advantage,they are literally testing it out on us,they have changed handball to favour the defenders and so less pens and more goals ruled out,they said no reviews in slo mo and clear and obvious,thats all gone out of the window for us and if chucking someone to the ground is not a pen for the ref or var and they should come out and say so
"Assuming the screen was available, to not do so would be ridiculous, and make the whole system pointless."
And that's the point..... To keep the game flowing & disruptions to a minimum, even if it results in a travesty of justice.
We had a warning at West Ham a week earlier. Now it's cost us two points.
It's never going to happen jimbo,he is their mouthpiece in the media under the guise of someone giving an honest appraisal of the gamesJust saw the Dermot Gallagher clip from this morning on Twitter. For fuck's sake. There's no way he'll criticise a current referee.
