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

Don't think drink driving is quite the same as a hair pull in a football match which without VAR would have gone unnoticed anyway. it won't from now on.

As usual blue hammer you’ve missed the point. We’ve been explaining corruption & it’s different forms.I’d say like Mike Dean you’ve deliberately missed the point.

I am a bit slow to jump on the AI bandwagon granted, but it seems everything has to be "AI" these days. Exactly what was AI about the offside calls at the WC?

Forms of corruption below.

• 4.1 Bribery.
• 4.2 Embezzlement, theft and fraud.
• 4.3 Graft.
• 4.4 Extortion and blackmail.
• 4.5 Influence peddling.
• 4.6 Networking.
• 4.7 Abuse of discretion.
• 4.8 Favoritism, nepotism and clientelism.

It’s corrupt, very few are the expected brown envelopes.

Right but I’m not sure any of those apply in this particular case.

Oh OK, I wasn't trying to be argumentative, I get how AI can evolve in the future, but SAOT isn't AI as far as I am concerned, it's just a clever piece of sodtware. I will be impressed if it ever starts thinking up new offside rules on its own, though :)

Let's face it, it couldn't do any worse .....

I see possibly up to 4 but certainly 1.

Mate- never took your post to be anything other than a legit question- certainly not argumentative. Discussion keeps the forum ticking. Keep posting. Xxx

Which one? Bearing in mind this was to protect another referee rather than to directly assist a specific team.

Abuse of discretion.

An abuse of discretion (not applying logic)
Favouritism (towards the referee)
