VAR thread 2022/23

If in doubt, just add 6 inches to the defenders foot

It’s laughable seeing this given as onside until you realise the club involved yet again.

At the time I couldn't believe it showed up as Onside when the rag foot was clearly over the VAR line. That's how bent the game has now become. How do they explain that one ?

If that was Newcastle scoring that it be ruled offside because he was interfering with play but for the rags total different rules as per

Wouldn’t be surprised if we see exactly the same situation in a match next week in the league and lo and behold it will be offside,VAR is now the perfect tool to now gain the outcome in games that they crave..

Is the defender not holding the keepers arm down, stopping him claiming the bal?

Possibly. I could live with the referee giving it originally because ‘keepers do seem to get those things given. But from a VAR perspective it seems incredibly soft to recommend an overturn. Pretty sure none of us would be happy if that was against City.

tbf that's probably not when ball was played, defenders run out attackers run in = 1 yard gap in probably 0.0000005 second
scrap VAR, Tool for TV to manipulate outcomes - not necessarily biased but keep league as marketable as possible... it genuinely seems bent

All our players seem to be wearing size 15 boots.

It’s shite.

Why in this age of incredible technology are we seeing blurred kin pictures ? My shitty 5 year old phone has better quality even from distance so why is it still blurry .

I’ve not seen it but from what I read they seemed to be suggesting that the tech. guy in the VAR room knew there was a malfunction. So they effectively disregarded it and resorted to what they could see. I imagine in that situation the burden of proof resorts back to having to have clear evidence to give a goal rather than clear evidence that GLT was wrong.

I’m no tech. guy but I don’t imagine any system is foolproof. GLT seems to be as reliable as you can hope for though. This is only the third time I’ve heard about it malfunctioning across all the leagues. You could argue that for really close ones, know one is going to question it if it was wrong but if as it seems here, they can tell when it’s playing up, it seems to working to an acceptable level.

How Goal Line Technology works in football and why yes, that can go wrong too

Goal Line Technology made a mistake during the Fiorentina-Braga match in the Conference League. The technology that detects whether or not the ball has crossed the goal line had made a mistake by awarding a goal to Cabral: a decision which was then corrected by the VAR. But how does GLT actually...

From this account it appears to be the Match Director (Commander?) who asked for the ref to review it because VAR could not confirm the goal …. (Lights blue touch paper and retires to a safe distance.)
