Well that was the idea behind the 'clear and obvious error' rule that they supposedly have. But it doesn't apply to offside, apparently, because obviously the technology is so accurate.I hate VAR but am a realist. It is here. We could really learn from cricket in these instances though. For the mm offside ones you could have “refs call” as they do with umpire calls in cricket.
Apparently if Rice didnt touch the ball the penalty wouldn't of been retaken.
3 or 4 West Ham players encroached and a couple of ours I think, but only one touched it Rice, and therefore he was the one that gained an advantage, so it was rightly retaken, and Dean clearly told him, a life lesson for him, as he may still have got there without the encroachment.Don’t know about that waspish,but I remember them saying they were clamping down on encroachment..
Spot on. I often wondered how I could wean myself from football to the point where I could finally become an armchair fan (having no desire to be driving 3 hours to Manchester as I become elderly) and VAR is clearly the solution. Just what benefit is there now left for wasting 6 hours traveling, putting 250 miles on my car, spending £40 on fuel to stand in the stadium waiting to celebrate a goal while some tv production engineer scribbles his interpretation of straight lines on whatever frame of film he's decided to analyse. In short, it's bollocks.VAR will completely dehumanize football in the end. The first step will be to start changing the rules to suit VAR.
I feel the sameThis is the whole point. Eveyone should ask themselves if they are happy to never fully celebrate a goal 100% ever again? If thats the case its goodbye gootball grom me!
I’m sure there’s must be a solution for that easily.Interesting idea but where the chip is on both players and balls will lead to error

Don’t know if it’s been posted,but the retaken pen was for encroachment I think by rice,the keeper staying on his line if I remember was not brought in by the premier league which caused controversy at the women’s World Cup ...
On the second goal, had KdB passed it to him on the other side instead of Sterling, he was also offside.
Retaken due to rice touching the ball after encroachment and gaining an advantage if he doesn’t touch it no retaken pen then ...Yeah i dont think that decision had anything to do with VAR (?) its justs the new rules, maybe var was used as the ref may have missed the encroachment?
Am I correct in thinking there’s a sensor in the ball that works with the goal line technology?Totally different. Goal line technology is easier as the line never moves and the ball which is moving has sensors throughout. That is totally different from someone/a computer deciding the exact moment a player kicks a ball and at the same time the exact moment some part of a players body is millimetres past the defender.
Eventually the VAR system will be everything. The refs will be completely dependent on it, so will the players and so will the fans. And the actual sheer enjoyment and emotional roller-coaster that is a game of football will disappear.Spot on.

That’s absolutely not true. The proof is the time it takes for a decision to be made. Goal line technology is instant because it is computer generated, offsides take time because there’s human interaction.It will be, they run offsides through software to accurately get the offsides correct.
That's what Walton said today, its technology that decides, and its very accurate.That’s absolutely not true.
I was watching that? I am not sure I believe him. They could showcase it all on Football Focus, BBC, Sky etc to show us all exactly how they do it. I don't really trust the process. How do we know it's not a few analysts scrolling footage forward frame by frame, and putting a line across a distorted image. Maybe it's more sophisticated but they should open it up for review. That's how science works- peer review by your colleagues. This is all closed shop. "Trust us" and everyone in football thinks their club is done over all the time so that doesn't work.That's what Walton said today, its technology that decides, and its very accurate.
The managers and captains were all shown it in action last week, and were very happy with it, today's took no real time at all, the lines we see are for clarity only, perhaps that is why we didn't have it last year, they were designing the technology to work it.
Didn't stop us under Pearce in 2007.Not expecting mass walkouts but gradually people will stop going, if you can’t celebrate a goal there is absolutely no point to the game.
