VAR (PL introduction 2019)

[BlueHammer85]

Every pen saved next season will go to var to see if the keepers moved forward, its a fuckin joke

You’d rather we scrapped the rule then?

Keepers should be allowed to rush out there line ?

No need for the Fuck off.
I think it’s a fair rule keepers can’t come rushing off there line

That's not a new rule, they can have one foot off the line; that's the new rule.

No need for the intentionally disingenuous "rush off their line" when it's a matter of a yard at most 99% of the time.

Think how many decades we’ve allowed Goalies to come off their line on penalty’s, unbelievable. Well done VAR !

Not really. Without VAR, there was always an assistant referee on the line, with instructions to look for the ball crossing the line, and goalkeeper infringements. It doesn't take VAR to spot that goalkeepers are sometimes off their goal line at the moment a penalty kick had been taken. It's just that referees and their assistants decided this was one of the law clarifications they could ignore. (See post a few before this, about Michael Oliver).

The laws also say that no player other than the penalty taker is allowed to be closer than ten yards (or metric equivalent) to the ball when the kick is taken. But when was the last time anyone ever saw a penalty retaken because of encroachment? Will VAR be monitoring this too, or will this continue to one of the minor laws than can safely be ignored?

FIFA really should issue further instructions about which laws are to be enforced, which ones the officials can ignore with impunity, and which ones apply only to City.

Its a natural movement, you cant expect otherwise

This rule will cause fuckin chaos this season!!

I agree with you thinking.
It was brought in to correct ‘clear and obvious’ errors made by the officials.
Not to get right down to the atom’s width of an offside decision

We also don't have camera's that have fast enough frame rates accurate enough for millimetres (or even centimetres), so its currently bollocks for me, not just on offsides either, the scottish keeper tonight could be fine or not, between one camera frame, that's not right, as its not giving the actual result.

 

[cleavers]

That's not a new rule, they can have one foot off the line; that's the new rule.

The new rule is worse, they have to have one foot on it, they could have both behind, and its a retake if its missed, even if the taker completely shanks it, that's ridiculous.

 

[yerwot?]

the "interfering with play" thing is easy to eradicate, anyone in the area is interfering with play, imo, no line of sight nonsense, decisions based on "judgement" need to be eliminated if the public are to fully accept it. Looooooong way to go...

Vinnie's goal against Leicester would have been disallowed with this interpretation of the rule.

Then the rule is to blame. Not VAR for pointing out the infringement.
Change the rule to ‘goalies should be allowed off the line a little bit’ then VAR wont flag it up.
