Var debate 2019/20

[Hart of the Matter]

Sorry but we are 14 points behind the leaders, possibly 6 behind Leicester after today
It cant all be Var mate instead of constantly finding excuses instead of debating the real reason... our shambolic defence and an aging backbone of the team which has served us well over the past decade.

Our performances are pants but VAR still needs debating regardless. Perhaps that is too complex for you to grasp...

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

That was probably a penalty, but I was absolutely outraged when they overturned the referee's decision, given all of the far more blatant penalty decisions that haven't been overturned this season. Not even in games involving us, in loads of games. The lack of consistency is absolute bullshit.

Actually VAR is remarkably consistent when the outcome favours either the dippers or rags .

It is all the other teams who are being fucked over.

It’s all in our heads, I got told this yday by a Boro fan, I said I’m not watching today (I’m in Oz) as I know we’ll get cheated & we aren’t at the levels to beat a team & team of bent officials. He won’t have watched, he’ll see the write up & a few clips & then he’ll tell me how brilliant the Dippers are.

it’s Fcking easy to lie & cheat, it’s annoying but when you measure against some of the most horrific & disgusting things that corporations, governments do, do we really believe justice will prevail.

The "three handballs" is a bit poor.
Shaw's arm couldn't have been in a less natural position if he'd tried.
Fred's was handball.
I assume (from memory) that the 3rd was the close-range ricochet, which the laws say will generally not be handball if in close proximity (so a defender slicing a clearance into the ground and having it bounce up onto his arm is not handball).

The real VAR work against us was the Spurs game ,it was essential to get the dippers a good points start over us and this was achieved in that game, that was the turning point anything else is now just maintenance work .

 

[Bill the Blue]

well thats all you will be doing ..
Guessing.

Hey Vish, did you go to watch City at Maine Road?

What was your last game there?
Who did we play?
How much did you pay to get in?
Where did you sit?

I'll give you a bit of time to Google your answers..

The fa & Michael Oliver taught us a lesson there

I’ve no issue with VAR giving United a penalty yesterday. Those situations are exactly what it should be used for IMO.

The problem I have is the inconsistency in how it’s applied. The KDB non-penalty against Palace and the Rodri one v Spurs are two that spring to mind which were just as clear cut as yesterday’s and were not given by VAR.

All season the phrase VAR will not overrule the refs on-field decision has been peddled out but Taylor waves play on yesterday. He certainly didn’t give the pen, so why the change of heart?

Like I said, I want VAR to be making the decisions like it did yesterday. But I also want fairness and consistency and those rules must be applied to all teams. There is no fair logical explanation as to why VAR gave United a penalty yesterday but failed to give Everton one mid week.

There is a logical explanation , they want Liverpool & Utd back at the top, they make the most money out of them . This is a multi billion pound industry , they don’t care if it’s fair or not , we are being shafted & everone can see it .

What “letter of the law” is this? The one that says if you go towards the ball with your arms behind you back, but as the ball is coming, you move your arm TO THE BALL, it isn’t a handball? THAT law? You’ll be shocked, but I couldn’t find it.

The fucker handballed it 3 times on that block.

 

[stonerblue]

Would City have been awarded the penalty by Michael Oliver ?

Would Anthony Taylor have consulted VAR if the roles were reversed ?

The PL and PiGMOL have agreed agenda which assists the dippers and rags in order to keep their respective lemming hoardes watching the product .

Conspiracy theory ? Dead fucking right .

The game of football is fucked .

Fucked off home (from the pub) in disgust at half time. Fuming.
