VAR Discussion Thread

What about all the other times that Erling has blatantly been hauled to the ground yet the impeccable VAR failed to highlight it to the onfield incompetent? The above was the exception not the rule. Why, wasn't the penalty given against Newcastle when Phil was fouled in the area or the handball outside the area in the FAC Final There as many missed or not reviewed wrongly than corrected by VAR
There is also the fact that refs will not give a decision and ask VAR to look at it to see if its reviewed until we get to listen to all communications we will never know VAR is a crutch that they rely on

The rules were applied subjectively before VAR and still continue to be with VAR. It's unconscious bias at best, and that's giving them the benefit of the doubt.
 
Look at all this bollocks... mistakes, autopsies, excuses, micro-analysis. We still don't have a system that removes the mistakes.

Key Match Incidents Panel: Everton wrongly denied penalty in Arsenal defeat

Everton should have been awarded a penalty in their 1-0 defeat by Arsenal, the Premier League's Key Match Incidents Panel has said.

I liked it when we just had the mistakes and none of the bullshit that goes with it. And, in ten years time it will STILL be the same. Because you cannot define every incident in a pitch.
 
If it's true that VAR will adopt Mr Wenger's recommendations that a player is only offside when in a significant advantageous position, and not by an atom, then it might have a chance.

But i'm still in favour of scrapping it and just keeping the gola line technology.

What's that going to change (same as 'clear daylight')........instead of drawing stupid lines for 10mins, when it's clear within a nano second to anyone who isn't blind if it's off or onside......it will take them longer to decide....wtf is a 'significant advantageous position' ....every ref, pundit, player, manager and fan will have a different opinion!

Read Wenger's proposal, you'll soon understand.

Unless I am missing something it's just moving the mm offside measurement to the back instead of the front. So we will still have mm offside decisions, we will still have debates about tolerance and about the accuracy of the technology. We also make it more difficult for defenders to practice their art.

It's just another rule change being brought in because of the inability of VAR to deal with off-side and not because it will improve the game.

Ridiculous knee-jerk rule-making which ignores the obvious problem - off-side isn't a black and white decision that technology can solve efficiently. It's a human judgement that has been made reasonably accurately for more than a hundred years without technology other than a flag.

They don't want to re-referee the game but they are perfectly happy to needlessly change rules in a desperate attempt to improve VAR. And they won't. Because it's impossible.

Or maybe I am wrong, of course. It has been known :)
