VAR Discussion Thread - 2023/24 | PL clubs to vote on whether to scrap VAR (pg413)

I thought it was a foul but the other two bits I agree.

The Sheff U one is iffy

The Sheffield penalty was a poor decision, not as bad as Taylors’s at Wolves but still no penalty for me.

only major thing VAR got wrong in the arse game was no red card.

The ball being out, well we've had similar go for and against us because different angles will always give different results on that it is too dificult to tell, best thing is to have the goal line cameras along the whole of the pitch.
The push, well walker did similar in the second half to a bournemouth player, no one batted an eyelid
The handball, view isn't definitive enough to over rule the onfield call

I did not mention Havertz but I agree he should have been on his way. There was nothing inconclusive about that assault.

You did mention about Arsenal being robbed though!

Just seen the Havertz non red card. Well it was wasnt it. How have VAR not over ruled that? They are too often un fit for purpose .

Re the newcastle goal. Fine for me.

Arteta is a mard arse

Just send the Newcastle v arsenal. Thought both teams should have been down to ten men.

As for the goal. Just because you can see a gap between the line and the ball doesn't mean it's out. The whole of the ball has to be over the line, I think the ball was still in. Like at corner kicks the ball sites outside the quad angle but the circumference is on the line.
Gordon cant be off side as the ball goes back towards him.
No foul on the gooners defender for me.

I hope they throw the book at Arteta.

I agree. You cant disallow a goal because the ball ‘might’ have been out of play, benefit has to go with the attacking team?
And yes, the snidey ‘punch’ by the geordie was also a red

 

[stonerblue]

Shit yesterday in several games but i'm sure the var apologists will be along to tell me that it 'gets it right most of the time'. Joke.

 

[johnnytapia]

Is it not the other way around?

VAR couldn’t see a conclusive reason to change the onfield decision, so the original decision stood.

Umpire’s call, if you will.

Which is how it used to be and how it should be.
You’d get some shit decisions but such is life. Three times at our game yesterday waiting to see if goals allowed/ disallowed. Utter shite. Let the ref referee and if he gets it wrong, so be it.
Let’s go back to being able to celebrate properly- the whole reason we love going to the match.

VAR isn't fit for purpose in this county. Great bit of kit that our officials have broken.

The ball can go in any direction and your offside if in an offside position. This is the decision that Arsenal should be moaning at but VAR couldn't find the ball to draw the lines so no evidence to overrule the goal. He probably was offside by a knee or leg but VAR quite rightly doesn't work on "probably" for offsides.
