VAR thread 2022/23

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Don’t talk utter bollocks.

Remember Milner being 2 yards offside at West Ham? Huge clamour for VAR on here after that.

Remember the Arsenal goal chalked off for offside when he was 3 yards on? Huge clamour for VAR on here.

Don’t remember managers mentioning how incredible that a sport as rich as football didn’t have VAR yet?

That‘s not my problem, that’s either a selective memory issue or a real memory issue for you.

And that’s part and parcel of the game.

Indeed. With VAR, right decisions go up about 7% from 88-95% correct.

VAR continues to be the worst thing in football.

This lad knows his onions

I rather concede mistakes from the man on the pitch than the nerd that is watching it from all angels and replays, mostly trying to get goals disallowed.

Lol wot

It’s killed the game. And we all know it. Celebrate a goal? Just like you used to since time immemorial? Tough shit. We spotted the ball going out of play twenty minutes earlier. And it’s been disallowed.
You never asked for that?
Tough shit.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

'Errors' you say?

The amount of time some decisions take they could actually get the rule book out, thumb to the right page, read the paragraph twice... and STILL get it wrong.

Ok.

Has that ever happened?

No.

In this case both the VAR and the referee were simply wrong in the decision to deem Mahrez’s handball intentional and disallow Rodri’s goal.

Nearly all analysts and pundits agree.

It changed the game. It is what it is.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Ok.

Tonight's goal for instance.
