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

Fair enough. Apologies for weighing in without reading your previous posts. I agree with much of what you say about offsides, particularly about letting the officials get on with it and VAR only correct it if there is a "clear and obvious" error with micro-analysing mms. This is what IFAB still say, by the way. It is FIFA with Collina who introduced this precise offside nonsense so UEFA had to follow I suppose. It all makes a complete bollocks of the fundamental reason for offsides in my view, especially as nothing can ever be precisely accurate.

The funny thing is, while offsides should be the least debatable situations, the VAR decisions that bother me the most are also related to offsides.

How are the semi-automated offsides going to be shown at United and Liverpool?
They are saying the fans will get to see the VAR on the big screens, Well OT and Anfield don't have big screens

They won’t. Their fans loss.

Marcel Marceau and his troupe will re-enact it for the morons.

Not really VAR related. But I couldn’t be bothered scrolling down any further for a more suitable thread.

Anyway, I’ll wager a pound that no one has seen this before. The referee in the Brazilian Serie A game between Flamengo and Criciuma gave a last minute penalty when a defender kicked a spare ball that the crowd had thrown onto the pitch, against the match ball, just as an attacker was about to shoot.

I don’t know how to post a video so:

You can argue that the referee should have stopped the game earlier but as he hadn’t, a penalty is undisputedly the right decision. Bizarre.

I know I am one of the main critics of the current iteration of VAR in the PL but even I can admit it could be worse.

ps2: the thing is i know some guys in the olympic comitee (not only turks), in federations etc etc.. some of them are my friends, some of them are my ex-profs.

why i am getting angry and sharing my thoughts with you is (i really dont wanna show off, or gain reputation here, i hate social media):

believe me, those guys are not discussing those issues as we discuss here...
they are not idiots..
but they just dont care... (or they earn good and dont talk)
but

Have PiGMoL decided what the "new rulings for 2025" are going to be yet?

You know the ones that they seriously enforce for the first couple of months (at most) of the beginning of the season, allowing a few controversial goals and results to occur, and then fucking it off for the rest of the season.

This is exactly how the average football Twitter user thinks the lines are drawn.

Same as last season.

Players can kick fuck out of City players for fun. Automatic yellow/Red for Rodri or A.N. Other City player or coach.
