Var debate 2019/20

The only way round it is to bang a load of goals in.

Think we tried to do that. Still robed of two points.

We scored 3,it's not practical to think we will score that every game,there wil be more tight games than big scoring ones especially in winter when the boys are tired

2 chalked off so far and 7 scored.

Not too sure what else we can do?

You are joking right? we have been shafted in the first week,we are clearly getting targeted,our var moment wil come? we might get a couple in our favour but that will only balance out the first 2 games! we are 2 pts down after 2 games

Taken the tinfoil hat off. We're not targeted at all, we create more chances than anyone else so we may see more of our attacks reviewed. The other end (fouls/handballs) is always going to be a coin toss. People don't like change. The system will improve and get better imo. In the meantime accept it's not perfect but refs were worse than VAR. Forget goals, red card reviews will be EXTREMELY crucial to us this season.

No because defenders have to have their arms away from the body so it's not handball whatever happens next,it's not a pen to the other side either,that's why the hanball rule is a nonsense,less goals and less pens,thought up by some fat **** behind a desk who has never played footy,i want to believe that because to think football men came up with this is just unbelievable to me

David Elleray is Technical Director of IFAB He is primarily responsible for this nonsense Handball was changed to suit VAR allowing microscopic examination of a goal, this will lead to more goals, already 2 this season, being disallowed
The referees love VAR it’s provide a good income stream for retirement Neil Swarbrick Head of Implementation of VAR in the Premier League use to work at BAe Systems Warton bet he earns considerable more now

Welcome and good post.

It should also be noted that on ref watch, Dermot says that VAR couldn't be used as the ref said no penalty and that in that instance VAR cant take a look even though he thinks its a penalty.

Not only at odds with Swarbrick but yet again another blatant lie.

If the referee thought no penalty but the VAR officials did after watching it live and replays, then surely it comes down to being a “clear and fucking obvious” error, unless it’s City of course.

Swarbrick is a liar. Oliver not looking at Rodri and Lamela

You forgot this bit which they're hanging their hats on.

"Or creates a goalscoring opportunity,"

It hit Laporte, deviated to Jesus, who went past 5 players to score.

Whether fair or not, apparently City welcomed the new handball rules & VAR.

I'm not forgetting anything. Laporte did not gain possession or control of the ball, therefore the goalscoring opportunity does not need to be considered.

So we created 40% of ALL the chances across 20 league games? We’re good but even we’re not that fucking good!!!

Get that fucking tin foil hat back and get yourself a calculator before coming up with statistics that are complete and utter bollocks.
