Var debate 2019/20

The Cirque du Soleil wants its contortionists back.

No one is confusing that, the fact is we have all been saying it's bent, but now today var is great and calling all.decisions correct . And making all the right calls

Is anyone saying that though? Are they the only 2 options? Var gets everything 100% right or Var gets everything 100% wrong?

The Watford manager's remarks about VAR are interesting .............................
"I thought VAR would be objective but it appears to be subjective"
Take some examples .................
Spurs mustn't get beat by City
Leicester must not draw with Liverpool
Watford mustn't get their first win of the season against Spurs
United must not drop points again
There are many more controversial decisions in the few games played so far.
Refs made cock-ups year in year out which were grudging accepted. Today when the ref makes a mistake he doesn't care because VAR makes a decision and carries any flak.

The linesman disallowed the Raul goal, in fact he flagged for handball before the ball hit the net.

You may be right there but handballs were similar but the Wolves player definitely got a yellow card. I can't understand why one is a yellow and the other is not. At the Wolves game they showed the handball incident on the big screen

If it was reported to the ref as deliberate handball, it's a yellow card. The linesman saw it, so may have made that opinion known to the ref. VAR then confirmed the handball.

That's only a theory, obviously. I don't know if there is anything confirming that the card was for handball rather than possible dissent.

Have we had a VAR decision go in our favour yet?

9 games in.

No subjective ones.

One ‘objective’ one went our way.

 

[SWP's back]

It was the correct decision that is not the same as costing them which makes it sound like they were stiffed

Oh come off it Karen. All season we’d heard that var would save them. Yesterday was the perfect opportunity but it didn’t come to their rescue.

 

[SWP's back]

3 games in 5 days

Sorry to be a pedant but it’s 3 games in 6 days.

 

[give it to gordon]

Do you think VAR will get more stick now that the dippers have been wronged ?

 

[Ban-jani]

No subjective ones.

One ‘objective’ one went our way.

Which one was that?
