VAR (PL introduction 2019)

[Bluearmy]

I'm aware of that, and its wrong imho, especially when its noses and fingers they're using, the law will need to be clarified further, and further, and further.....

So your angsr against VAR is wrongly placed. Its the Laws you need to focus on. I disagree with you about offside for these reasons. The Cameroon player was 6 inches offside. Technology showed that. If you then start to say close calls should be let go it opens it up to abuse and corrupt human intervention. And guess who ends up benefitting from that. Yep, the cartel and were back to the disgraceful levels we have been for the last 20 years

Some of the process’ needs changing, all this bullshit about the ref trotting to the side of the pitch is woeful. Its taking far to long. But its getting most decisions right....

clear and obvious mistakes ??????

until we have a moving laser beam on the touch line just over the advertising boards and a sensor in the player boot and ball for the ball is clearly left the foot then your offside ?? that's when technology and VAR can judge offside

So the Tottenham game a few years back when they scored 3 offside goals and sky showed that within seconds each time. Are you telling me they were wrong and they were all onside?

 

[Bluearmy]

Bag of shite....the cartel have VAR stitched up... see the Spurs game for proof....you are the one bending over for the cartel.

Nope if it caves in now they win....!! Doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out why they voted against it...!!

I love the fact players are crying and near enough refusing the play because the decision has gone against them and it’s proven they are completely in the wrong. Keep it going VAR.

What was your opinion on the horseshit call to overturn that perfectly good French goal?

They'd still be wrong even if VARs didn't exist. So nothing new there. This type of thing happened before in the mens' world cup. Kuwait I think, in Spain. They 'heard a whistle in the crowd', stopped playing and France scored.

VAR is the dementor of football.

Is it? And at what cost. If you take the passion from sport what is left. May as well watch two kids play Fifa on a console if you’re that keen to have technology make decisions. This will ruin football. It’s shite on many levels but the biggest issue is that watching something in slow motion will always make it appear different than real time therefore the decision you make is not like for like. The Lorente handball is all you need as an example of why VAR is shite. Now people are saying we need to change rules to suit VAR? Leave the game alone it’s the biggest sport in the world for a reason. The goal line tech was enough.

Can anyone tell me what was the clear and obvious error that chalked off the French goal

BlueHammer will be along shortly..

When a ball is kicked the ball is in contact with the player for a period of time. At what point does time freeze to determine offside? Is it at the point of first contact or last contact?

My point is that if VAR is going to overrule on field offside decisions where there is only 6 inches in it, by moving forward or backward a frame you can manipulate the result.

The warning signs are now clear for FIFA.

All aspects of the game require the ball to have completely crossed the line to be considered a goal or out of play. Why is offside any different? The attacker should be completely beyond the final defender, not offside because a toenail is the wrong side. It's actually a really easy change for FIFA to make and could be brought in very quickly. It doesn't resolve everything by any means but as things stand this is going to kill the game and quickly I reckon.

And when they've finished with offside then they can revisit the handball situation. I can't actually believe that clubs wouldn't want it any other way than what I suggest.
