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

[TinFoilHat]

If PGMOL want to be truly transparent then they should have their own web site which has every decision reviewed by VAR on tap for everybody to watch/hear.

Selecting incidents that have already been done to death by the media shows up that organisation for the rank bunch of amateurs they really are.

Before they allow us, the ticket buying match going fan, to be a party to any of their ponderings everything will have been heavily edited.

As people have pointed out Salah was clearly blocking the keepers view against Villa. Did VAR even revue it, and if they did what was the conversation?

PIGMOL are like a secret society there is absolutely no way you can contact them.

They make Bilderberg group look open and transparent!

maybe thats the giant swerve, maybe its not the illuminati that runs the world (according to the tin foil hat brigade) maybe its pgmol

 

[give it to gordon]

Rashfords off side last Jan , Attwell was supposedly told by VAR "to let it stand to level things up" anyone else heard this and can verify ?? Or just rumours.

Clearly hugely damming and has massive implications if true??

I would like VAR to release that conversation just to clear up why Rashford wasnt interfering. Until than its bent.

Problem is if it was released now they have had plenty of time to edit it or add.

Wtaf? Webb has now decided Ake's goal should have been offside? I don't know where I am with any of this any more.

Firstly, we all know Akanji was clearly offside in the spirit of the game, because he was in an offside position and the keeper had to wait until the ball passed him before completing his save, at least he had to delay it. But this is what they said after the Rashford non-offside decision. "

"The real case for discussion is about Ederson, and whether his actions would have changed had Rashford not been there. Perhaps, but Rashford doesn't impact the goalkeeper's ability to come and play the ball. He may affect his choice to do so, and how he might shape for a save, but the law doesn't discuss how a player might behave differently if the offside player isn't present; it only discusses the ability of an opponent to play the ball."

This was from Dale Johnson's article, but it is based on feedback given by the PL and PGMOL.

So now fast forward to Webb and Akanji. "It certainly appears Akanji has an impact on Leno the goalkeeper who seems to hesitate. We think it's a clear situation of offside, unfortunately it wasn't identified on the day. This was an error."

So which is it, for fuck's sake?

I used to think VAR audio would show the world that referees really do know what they are doing, and that they make sound, rational, even consistent decisions based on the laws and their guidelines. That was before the Rashford nonsense. Now this just confirms they make it up as they go along with nary a consideration of the actual LOTG or their idiot guidelines. They can all get fucked. Cunts.

Good post. I listened to the ref/VAR talk through the Ake goal and thought fair play they are making sense. It would be better if they could be heard live at the match but at least they have been rational and come to a correct conclusion based on the laws of the game. That Akanji although in an offside position did not stop Leno making a save.
Then Webb steps up and out of nowhere introduces a 'delay' in the save that was 'obviously' caused by Akanji. Wtf?
I re-watched it a number of times and could see no 'obvious' delay. I saw him sorting his feet out but so what?
So at a stroke, Webb introduces yet more confusion and undermines his own officials.

And as for the Rag goal against Wolves 'sorry, we got that wrong' !! Everyone that saw it except the referee team knew it was a blatant foul and a penalty. 'A collision' ffs.

apologising is not rectifying the direction of points to wronged team - so no fucking use whatsoever - the Howard Webb way.
