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

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Your nearly right the first one is trying to clear it and it hits the other arsenal player if he’s not affecting the game and offside ( meaning goal stands ) then why is he on the pitch ..

The laws of the game say that an attempted block or a ricochet are not deliberate plays of the ball and aren’t factored in when offsides are considered.

In the same way that goalkeeper saves aren’t deliberate plays, even though they have deliberately tried to alter the ball’s path.

Even if it’s a deliberate block of the ball?

Yes, the same as keeper saves.

Yes, the same as keeper saves.

Cheers, makes sense then.

Without VAR he wouldn’t have given a pen. Farcical.

No worries. It is open to what are actually deliberate plays though, but it tends to be when a defender has tried to semi-pass a block, so it’s not always black and white.

An attempted block is not deliberate then what is it,the incident reminds me of that rashford run when ratface scored they affected the play in the game,same as the Arsenal lad ..

Precisely. The occasional 'victory' for VAR doesn't alter the fact that it is fundamentally flawed as a system.

Because he knows he doesn't have to. They just wait for their safety net of of subjective bias to get involved.
Officiating is a farce - made even worse by the way VAR is implemented. I know you've decided to be King Canute on this and won't be budged - so little point.

It’s an attempted block, not an attempted pass. You might disagree with the law, but it’s how offsides work.

Not sure how often I can repeat myself to you.
Any form of officiating will get things wrong. There will ALWAYS be the odd fuck up with VAR.
It’s good to highlight when VAR can be good for the game and also debate the pros and cons and what changes can be made. That’s what this forum is for and what the majority of posters do. Unlike yourself who clearly just wants an echo chamber of ‘it’s all corrupt’ and get in a personal spat.
