Var debate 2019/20

[stonerblue]

In a word, yes. I'm going to use yesterdays game as an example for 2 hypothetical situations.

Defenders;
In the second half a Crystal Palace defender blasted the ball off the body of his team mate from about 3 yards away. If that had hit his hand it correctly wouldn't have been a penalty.

Attackers;
Take the same situation but switch it to the other end of the pitch. Cahill lashes the ball in the same manner, it is going wide but hits Zaha on the arm and falls straight to McCarthy who taps it in.

I think that is fair, if you want every handball to given as free regardless then that's different. Just he prepared for 5 or 6 penalties every week.

Call me old fashioned but i expect the same rules to apply to every player on the pitch.

When are these twats at PiGMOL going to be made to use the fucking system as it was intended and not how they choose to implement it ?

Riley and his acolytes need to be made to do as instructed or fucked off totally.

Unfortunately Riley has got where he is carrying out instructions from his employers so unless they go he will stay.

Everyone is diving at penalty Area thanks to VAR.

Has anybody seen any clips of when Jesus was taken out in the area on Saturday? It was towards the end and a cross.came in from the right, went over Sergio and would have dropped to Jesus but he and the defender went sprawling. The commentators said they'd have to have a look at it but only one replay was shown (on my stream at least, didn't see any after match coverage) and the replay was from a bad angle to see anything. In real time it looked like a Liverpool penalty but I just wondered if it was a real penalty or not.

Got no clips but it looked like Jesus got in front/across the defender, the defender then stuck an arm out to try to put him off/pull him back a little which went across Jesus's face, so as the cross flashed by, Jesus tried to "buy" something . Seemed to be trying to tell the ref. that he'd been elbowed but (IMO) that wasn't the case. Not much in it really, other than a bit of "last minute desperation". I could be wrong.

Don't mention this to @BlueHammer85

Oliver bottled it and VAR wasnt not in use that day as can be seen from the ridiculous way the Salah potential offside was handled and numerous other issues that day.

We got fucking shafted and worse of all, we as a club did and said squat about it because money fucking talks.

Bang on

Can someone remind me when, during the season, the rule changed that a keeper was allowed a yard off his line when a penalty is taken? I thought VAR was meant to check all of these. Clearly I missed the rule change.

I honestly thought Liverpool are that far ahead and safe to win the league, we would now get honest refereeing and VAR-ing. Obviously the bent refereeing will continue till the dippers are actually crowned champions.
Red card and penalty retaken? No? Of course not.

It never checked the keeper leaving his line at penalties. Only encroachment.

I don't know why the lino hasn't seen it.

Pen should have been retaken, just making it up as they go along.

That is encroachment? And why doesn't VAR check it. Does it say in the rules that the keeper can be that far off the line? Clearly not.

Yes it does, the very first line on the VAR protocol for penalty kicks is that it checks for goalkeeper movement.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

VAR doesn't check the keeper moving off his line. The linesman is on the goalline to see the yard or so gap there, but neither he nor Mason saw it. Somehow.

Not for us seemingly lol

Not in the PL this season, as far as I know, as a result of the many retakes in the World Cup.

Said on bein sport that it’s the ref and assistants that check not the VAR. if true that’s a joke

 

[Fred_Quimby]

Goalkeeper of his line and SU encroachment. What’s not to like about VAR?
