VAR Discussion Thread

[Pingu the Penguin]

Why do they need to tinker with offsides? These are black and white objective decisions that tech can clearly get right. Aren’t they…..?

Basically it’s an admission that years worth of goals or non goals were wrongly decided by VAR.

Unless or until it works and can be shown to work it belongs nowhere near professional football matches

Can’t understand that gaining an advantage can come down to mm or what size boots you’re wearing or if you have a short/long sleeved shirt……madness

I am sure some buffoon at FIFA is looking at this right now: VAR has problems determining offside, let's just change the rules and have no offside. The reality is that the people who made the rules a century ago knew what they were doing and why. The people running the game now could take some lessons from them.

God, I hate what FIFA, UEFA and the PL have turned the game into, and I hate how they have made me feel about it.

This is my third post this year and in each of them I sound like Victor fucking Meldrew.

And I'm Mrs Meldrew ha ha

Needs a 'Coaches Challenge' where they tell the 4th official and the ref is called over to review.

Everton would have got their penalty, Merino would got a *2nd yellow and Arsenal may be 1pt behind us with one more game played. It would make it a lot harder for VAR to ignore the blatantly obvious whenever they feel like it.

*VAR needs to be able to recommend issuing 2nd yellows in real-time over comms from next season.

Just seen that Wirtz goal. It has to be offside surely. I didn't see it live, dud I miss something? Where was VAR ?

 

[give it to gordon]

How do var explain the dippers first goal. Everyone can see its off side apart from the 3 in the shed, how can that even be possible ? Cheating or a betting ring.

That can only be corruption. There is simply no other explanation

They are on the slide. Something has to be done.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Just seen that Dipper's 'goal'.

PiGMOL clearly take a leaf out of the Trump playbook. "We'll do what we want. Who's going to stop us?"

Spammer will be along shortly to gaslight us all again.

Crikey, that Wirtz goal. I smell some right bullshit tomorrow wriggling out of that one PIGMOL.

He'd need VAR on steroids to keep WHU up this season.

Nah, he only joins in on the rare occasions that VAR makes a correct decision

Dermot being briefed to defend that dippers goal on Sky in the morning.

 

[Lou Antony Morris]

It's a bit hard to defend that when you see that view.
It's plain cheating.

Read an article on BBC there about there now being a tolerance level with some offside calls
So if your off marginally off, like centimeters they sometimes let it stand

Such as Guimares being offside against us and the goal stood

First I’ve ever heard of this.
What’s the tolerance level and how do they decide?

Why wasn’t Silva’s goal v Sunderland allowed to stand it was marginal

Was just going to post the same looking at the lines on the pitch he was off
Where was VAR? It was given off by the Lino VAR overruled it
Looks like another manipulation of the suggested kick point to me

 

[Gordyola]

against a newly promoted side

Do you need to ask?

The tolerance is 5cm
