Var debate 2019/20

But why does it need him looking at it pitch side? The guys in the room who are seeing all the angles on the screen have a better chance of getting it right, without players and fans in their face. So, why then did then get it wrong? Because they don't know the rules or have not understood them, or are they just fucking idiots? They say they are going to the letter of the law, well the letter of the law for this handball incident means it's a goal. The fact that numerous ex-professionals, commentators and even some refs have not highlighted this, is fucking frightening.
Im talking about the penalty shout, not the handball.
 
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.
Thought in the West Ham game Mike Dean wasn't going to give the penalty, then got someone in his ear saying you'll look such a fucking idiot if you don't give that....
 
The real problem is still the standard of referring is still completely unacceptable. The biggest drop in recent times had been overseen by Mike Riley, who was shit himself, with no accountability or transparent process to improve decision making. The fact that two officials made an incorrect decision in regard to the penalty shout, speaks volumes and the fact that an number of referees have backed them, against virtually every ex pro asked has said it was nailed on - even Neville.
In years gone by the ref would be the culprit but human failings and no replay most could forgive, if it came to a decision between an ex pro and a ref we would side with the ref, now the FA and the refs have VAR and the rule book unfortunately for them so do the fans and ex pro`s, and there is no such thing as human failings with VAR
 
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

Quite, this has been posted about a dozen times.

I think you are absolutely correct sir, in the tottenham game the commentator said a few minuets earlier that this was England's best ref, he obviously believed he was untouchable unlike Dean
 
You mean like they did twice against City in one game on Saturday?

yep, but now we have a right to go mad at the officials because they have technology at there disposal - will never be perfect and still too many grey areas but over time you like to think it will get better.

Under the old system the ref and lino can blow/flag up for anything they wanted too - and we had to just accept that.
 
Swarbrick is a liar. Oliver not looking at Rodri and Lamela
