VAR thread 2022/23

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Onside by a defender's toenail? All depending on the chosen frame, of course ;)

That would be rare. Also it’d mean celebrating a goal would most likely be worthwhile.

The on-field referee should lead the discussion/VAR, NOT VAR leading the on-field referee.

You are, as always, being deliberately obtuse in order to swerve.

When the officials have not seen the offside how can they lead the discussions for an offside ?

Surely that’s why there is VAR to highlight to a ref that there’s been a offside in the goal

He can go and check the monitor and have discussions (killing more time) all for the outcome to be the same as the VAR teams outcome… offside

It was disgusting. While the Spurs player were protesting and saying "The ball's gone backwards." All he did was stand there like a robot saying "it's offside. it's offside."

He was right

Does anyone know why did it take so long? Kane was clearly offside

it was one of the tightest decisions I’ve seen for an offside

Referees have never lead the way with offsides. They used to take the word of their linesmen. Now it’s linesmen and VAR if required.

But why were the players surrounding the referee and questioning him? Forget the rights and wrongs, that needs to be stopped and needs to be stopped now. Yellow and red cards would sort it out and referees need to stop letting players try to run the show. Not because he’s a rag but how Fernandez stays on the pitch every week is beyond me.

Yep, but apparently I was being ‘obtuse’

It wasn’t really though. It seems the time was taken deciding whether the defender deliberately played the ball, which he obviously didn’t, so why it took so long is a perfectly valid question.

Is that known?

to make it even funnier
the outrage is going to run till the final whistle of next weeks game and then maybe even longer with a bit of luck
