Var debate 2019/20

[super_city_si]

So let’s say var wasn’t working. Surely the game is void? We lost points against spurs due to var. it has to be across the board.

People can talk about mathmatics, angles, frame speed etc all they want.

The fact that a close call as such as that was just moved on quickly with no collaboration lines as they normally do was dodgy as fuck. Takes them 5 minutes and lots of playing around with lines to call that offside yesterday at Spurs but nothing for that today, not even an explanation?

All dodgy as fuck,a number of us posted called it saying it would be used to fuck us over and assist other teams when it was brought in this season ..

I assume that is because Anfield doesn't have a screen to display it on.

did but someone stole it. ;)

Leave it to the Old Trafford Tories to resort to that shite.

I think all stadiums apart from Old Trafford and Anfield have a screen. I could definitely be wrong, but suspect when the game is at those stadiums, a VAR feed is not created for the stadium public, therefore there is not one for the broadcasters to display.

Will be interesting what MOTD2 have to say later tonight

Brushed swiftly under the rug, or just shrugged off.

That could well be the answer but it is a strange state of affairs if it is because to check the decision you need the footage, so if it is available then why not make available to the broadcaster?

nah... the bus shit a few year ago justifies such immaturity on my part ;)

Obviously they will still review the decisions with the footage, but suspect the reason they add the little idents etc... is for the stadium attendees. Don't see why they should be producing content purely for the benefit of Sky, they can do that themselves.

Monday night after the Spurs game I was listening to Goldstein and Cundy on Talk Sport and they where interviewing one of the PGMOL, VAR officials regarding the Gabriel Jesus disallowed goal , the line the official took was that under no circumstances should a team benefit from an handball leading to a goal..Goldstein then pressed him on this by jokingly giving an example of , "say a Barcelona player accidentally handled the ball , close to his own goal and the ball fell to Messi , who then ran the length of the pitch , beating 5 defenders before rounding the keeper and putting it the net for a worldie...would this then be disallowed ?" ...and the PGMOL official said yes , irrespective of where the handball occurred the goal wouldn't be allowed to stand....Now either that rule as changed , but no one has been informed of it or they make it up as they go along to suit....
Will be interesting to see if Goldstein brings it up again in his show tomorrow night , because someone should be asking the question , and getting to the bottom of it....

So in such a situation how does the game restart bearing in mind that under normal circumstances as the handball was unintentional it would not be a pen? It would only be a handball by virtue of the fact a goal was scored as a result.
