VAR thread 2022/23

[Hart of the Matter]

VAR can’t get involved with a hair pull. It’s a yellow card offence.

Therefore it couldn’t change the corner being awarded.

You have just made that up and keep repeating it.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

I’m not particularly against the linesman keeping the flag down in tight offside calls where a shot at goal looks imminent but there was one on the Wolves goalie a couple of years ago where exactly that happened. I can’t remember how serious the injury was but it was enough for him to be stretchered off and substituted.

There was the Van Dijk injury too.

Loads of clips on YouTube from the women’s game where yellow cards are given.

It hasn’t happened much in the men’s game, but I doubt there has ever been a straight red for hair pulling.

I‘m happy to be educated if you can find an example in professional football.

Lol. You have said according to the Laws of The Game. Quote them. I'm happy to be educated.

The referees who give out the cards seem to think it’s a yellow card offence.

Sadly, it doesn’t matter what you, me or anyone else thinks the laws should be. As of this moment in time, a yellow card would be given for a hair pull.

Incorrect. It would be classed as violent conduct which is a red card and VAR can get involved. Before VAR was in place Robert Huth was banned for three games for pulling Fellaini's hair https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36207252

Where's the tapes of the decisions they said they were going to release?

Must be going through some serious editing.

I don't think they have said that.
It was released that they were thinking of doing it.

If that's the case they should get on with doing it. It should be heard live like in other sports for true transparency. Until then the theories of it being used by PiGMOL to manipulate results will remain.

It wouldn't surprise me if it's waiting for Riley to go in late autumn.

Got to say it doesn’t sit right with me that this day and age and of course with VAR review that the linesmen can’t put his flag up straightaway and if there’s doubt VAR looks at it. But to delay the flag for a few seconds after seems a pointless exercise. Why did they decide to do this.

The new instruction is to not flag at all if there is any chance of a goal. Obviously this wont be being applied to us, but is clearly happening everywhere else

Not really VAR as such but thought the referee was great tonight. Got the majority of calls right. We criticise them a lot but only right to praise v good performances.

Without VAR , the ref and officials could just say they didn’t see the incident and Nunez would have stayed on the pitch

 

[Blue Mist]

Everyone on here, well City fans, think Martin Samuel's is an excellent journalist.
Today he has trashed, no ridiculed VAR. He says it is not fit for purpose.


No doubt a blue and another poster will be along to tell us why he is wrong. After all they spend half their day telling City fans they are.

What are you talking about..?

Of course the ref seen the incident.

The ref blew his whistle and produced his red card before the defender hit the deck..

Do you really think the ref, both lines persons and the fourth official would have missed that incident..

Nunez had already alerted the ref by whinging he'd been fouled and then proceeded to butt the defender in plain site of the ref..

Comical comment by you once again..!

if the refs and officials are in a conspiracy to benefit Liverpool then without VAR they could have just missed it, told the player to get up or just give a yellow to Nunez - just saying without VAR they could very easily not punish Liverpool for blatant reds like this

You never cease to amaze.

But the ref did see it didn’t need VAR ..

How not using VAR proves VAR works ? Like it.

I won't keep digging as clearly no one will agree on this

but he could easily have turned a blind eye, told the opposition player to get up, booked them both etc - would be laughable referring but that's what it was like pre VAR
