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

[Blue Mist]

First one was very tight. I thought it was offside initially but " lines" showed it to be just onside.

Second Rodri in an offside position when ball came in and definitely interfered with play, unsighted keeper and Rodri made a movement that put keeper off.

Third
Lewis was initially in an off side position.
Rodro and/ or defender appeared to touch ball. When this happened, Lewis was back onside.
If the ball had gone directly to Lewis, goal would not have been allowed.

Like the penalty and the Ederson yellow, probably all decisions were correct.

Cheers, in some respects this is not the usual attack on Var, i.e it was shit/wrong etc, the moan is about killing the enjoyment of being there live. 3 goals, 3 celebrations, then 3 var checks. It's shite.

Not sure about that mate. He ducked.

His movement had the same impact on the keeper that Rashford had last year. He couldn’t dive until the ball went past Rodri, stopping him getting there in time.

We got the Akanji offside against Fulham, we didn’t get this one.

Thats right.
A keeper would have expected him to head it.

Thanks for that but I ask, first, am I wrong it took 3 minutes ? If so that is just wrong, no wonder people have conspiracy theories. Second 3 goals, 3 Var reviews, it killing the enthusiasm of match going fans. Its fine if I was at home, I can go and make a brew whilst they fuck about but live, it's just shit.

I’ve not seen any television whatsoever all weekend so can only guess. But normally the longer reviews are when there is more than one thing to review. Was there anything else to consider in the build up? I honestly can’t remember.

We saw in one of the ‘Mic’d Up’ programmes that the majority of time is taken making sure they’ve picked the right frame before they lock it in and draw the lines. Maybe there was a dispute in the booth over which frame to use?

Not really relevant to the time it took them but from the still someone has provided above, it’s that tight that it looks like a ‘benefit of the doubt ‘ one to Grealish. So might well have been ruled out if they’d gone with the semi automated system this season.

The VAR calls stopped our momentum.

Just stating the FK had been ruled out. Within a minute we scored again and were flying. A couple of minutes of looking at it and our level went down.

Must be a mental block of ours as Palace seemed to deal with the stoppages in play.

It’s fucking wank. It always was. It always will be.
