VAR thread 2022/23

[SkyBlueFlux]

VAR clearly bent forwards to award Brentford's second penalty yesterday and to disallow two Brighton goals. It bends forwards or backwards depending on the preferred result.

I'm pretty sure (though happy to be corrected), that the linesman disallowed Brighton's first goal not VAR. As usual VAR actually did nothing to overturn it and make it right. The second goal, if it comes off an arm and goes in it is pretty black and white that it has to be disallowed. The non-penalty on Mitoma, again VAR does nothing.

The problem here is that Webb has paralyzed VAR to the extent that it is not used unless a defender practically assaults somebody. The issue with that is that on-field referees know VAR is there, so they simply don't act or give decisions in the knowledge that VAR will correct them if they've made a howler. But VAR never does, it just lets howler after howler pass.

This means it's now created this enormously high bar for any penalty or red card offence to be given.

It's such a simple thing to solve as well. You either take VAR off penalties completely so referees have to make decisions themselves, or you do the sensible thing and let referees review their decisions on video without this totally ridiculous idea that as soon as they go to the monitor they have to overturn it (seriously who the fuck came up with that?). Just let them review it and make an honest assessment like every other video review in every other sport.

Honestly, up until this season I didn't really think much of all the corruption jibes, but the absolutely ridiculous and bungling incompetence with which VAR is being managed is the biggest indicator to me that something must be going on. Because it's either that or PGMOL have some kind of collective brain damage.

I dont know if anyone has mentioned this, but Brighton Vs Man City in 2021 reffed by Atwell was the worst refereeing performance ive ever seen.

Yep he definitely on the take that lad.

 

[Blue Maverick]

They need to bring in a formal challenge in a game, they do it in cricket and the NFL, that would really show them up.

And guess who the referee was again...

Stuart fucking Atwell - the most corrupt in the game and fucked us over at United.

If you mix corruption and ineptitude, you get this twat.

I'm pretty sure he also reffed our draw at home to Everton, another disgrace from the official.

He reffed our game at Leeds where he let them kick lumps out of Jack for the whole duration of the first half without any cards given out, the same player fouled Jack three times, not even a telling off.
Then lo and behold Rico gets booked for his first tackle in the second half when it was nowhere near a yellow.
There's three games with Atwell just off the top of my head, i'm pretty sure he has done similar with others.

He looks a gormless twat at the best of times.

100% this cnut will officiate at least 1 game & be part of VAR on another before Brentford if we are within striking distance or winning again

I have been in football for many years at playing a high standard or coaching & that off d8de goal against us was the worst decision I've seen, that sort of stuff you see on a Sunday morning

I know Arsenal did get a shit one 2 not sure who against? Could be Brighton AGAIN, but they have been given a lifeline on more than one occasion

Brighton have definitely been fucked over by the cnuts, they do not want Chelsea, Liverpool & Spurs out of it 100%

Newcastle have Absalutely fucked the establishment, its fucking great they have done it without really showing a full hand.
Imagine City & Newcastle going at it now for the next 5 years at least, what are the cnuts going to do then?

VAR is going nowhere while they can cheat thats for sure

But how come it wasn`t picked up that Romero gave Mitoma a shove. Without the push Mitoma takes the ball on his chest. In theory it`s either a goal, or a penalty and a red card for Romero (no intent to play the ball).

Even Talksport commented on it.

In any instance, VAR shows dereliction in its duty. The only wrong decision is the one it allowed to happen.

It was bizarre. Contrast it to the rags second goal yesterday when there was a suspicion of offside in the build up and it was completely ignored. Corruption in plain sight again.

And the non penalty for Everton by Slabhead, totally ignored. And our clearly fine goals yesterday took an age to be confirmed as Var was micro nit picking to find anything to rule them out. Didn’t notice the same delay on Southampton’s goal though

 

[paulchapo]

Apologised to Brighton again, well that's no fucking good to them is it?? Var was brought in to make sure decisions like this didn't happen. How can you watch that and say it's not a penalty??? The useless tosspot that made that decision should be made to explain why. As for Atwell I wouldn't have him reffing a snail race.
