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

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

Quite right. The lack of terminology from the laws is astounding. The Onana incident. Late, very late, clumsy. What is all that about? It's like two guys discussing it in a pub.

The discussion should be: Was he making a challenge? Yes. Did he show a lack of attention or consideration? Yes ("clumsy"), offense, direct free kick. Penalty. Did he act with disregard to the safety of (or consequences to) an opponent? Yes. Yellow card. Did he use excessive force? No. No red card.

Done and dusted, and explained with the LOTG so everyone can understand it in ten seconds.

It's like amateur hour. Don't they get any training? Too busy with Webbsy, Deansy and all the other cuntsies in their first-class gym and canteen, I imagine.

Think you summarized it pretty well.

Going by reports, As expected, covered the Ake goal but not Dippers Salah offside one. Both exactly the same but media coverage a complete joke as one keeps getting pushed into the headlights and one not mentioned and forgotten.

Covered the Onana Wolves one as they have already apologised so an easy one tp pick but nothing on the Forest game with the penalty and incorrect red card Where the officiating led to Forest making a complaint.

Nothing on Dippers 2 penalty, both wrong, decisions v Bournemouth.
Luton penalty claim v West Ham ?

Would have been interesting for audio from FA Cup final.

Careful cherry picking by Webb. Until they make all audio from all games available nothing will improve and these shows are just PR and pointless with them carefully selecting what to release

Not really the same, Salah is blocking the keepers view. Ours the keeper has a clear view !

So howard webb explains the "minor error" that led to Wolves being denied a penalty and then goes on a detailed rant about how Ake's goal shouldn't have stood

Sky sports and PiGMOBS new gaslighting slot is all it is.

Sky sports and PiGMOBS new gaslighting slot is all it is.

It's EXACTLY what it is. They pretend they're being open to minor criticism, but then they are laser focused on one particular incident whilst ignoring other similar incidents altogether.

Yes, Ake was offside, and I wouldn't have been bothered if the goal had been chalked off for interfering with play, but then for these cnuts to just airbrush the fact that Salah was smack bang in the middle of the keepers eye line is a joke.

Four games in and Webb his delivering his verdict on clips where we can hear the microphone on the ref. Shows how poor the reffing alongside the VAR decision making is currently at the moment.

Sky sports and PiGMOBS new gaslighting slot is all it is.

The show has nothing to do with Sky. Its a Premier League Productions show distributed all over the world to the Premier League rights holders, so was also shown (or will be as it was originally supposed to go out tonight) on TNT Sports as well (I suppose an argument could be made for also giving the BBC the right to show it to a wider audience as they are also rights holders)

 

[halfcenturyup]

Not only all audio available but live and in real time, it just shows how little trust people have in pgmol that immediately people think well thats probably edited anyway.

Good God. If that Onana clip was edited then what the hell was it really like? \O/

 

[daveyboybluemoon]

Thats how you know its bullshit, it has taken city supposedly benefitting for this to happen, why didnt this happen after the utd wolves game, why now?

They did one of these shows last season and announced at the start of the season that these would be done monthly throughout the season, so its got nothing to do with us supposedly benefitting
