VAR thread 2022/23

[kaz7]

Actually, VAR has corrected the right calls for so many decisions . They don’t get talked about.

If there is corruption why would they bring in VAR to give those tight decisions ?
Before VAR a lino could just flag it off Willy nilly. No questions asked.

You know it doesn’t add up.

One decision for US , you dived on here to wum again

I’ve had loads of stick the other way.

All season- VAR is meant to be corrupt to stop you winning the league.

Tonight it’s thanks to VAR that you got that 2nd goal that killed the game. You can’t justify that with corruption.

By the way , cheered that goal.

Of course West Ham get shafted out of a penalty. If it had been the other way round, Liverpool would have been granted it.

Seen it. All my fellow fans going mad. Calling corruption of course.

I can see why it wasn’t given (under the new laws) He was sliding in. Close call either way.

I do think VAR is shit generally, but we (rightly) benefitted from it today. So it’s not all bad.

Didn't award a blantant penalty. The offside was blatant, could hardly not give it.

The offside was by millimetres - how is that blatant ?

if the ‘powers’ wanted to be corrupt and there was no VAR. the lino would just flag it offside right?

The off-side rule is stupid as it is. Stones was off-side by any normal interpretation that can be assessed with the naked eye. And for that reason I don't like it. He mis-timed his run but was saved because a defender had his leg extended. What a load of bollocks.

At least we can say it was consistent and was right under this mm, frame by frame interpretation of where a foot is in a running stride. Doesn't make it any less bollocks, though.

As for VAR winning us the title, don't even go there .... Penalty anyone? If Arsenal had scored twice in the second half, would you be on here saying VAR had cost us the title? What has won us the title, if we indeed have, which imo we haven't yet, is a brilliant team performance.

"They" didn't "want" to bring in VAR. It was a FIFA requirement, wasn't it?

And, as we have said on here thousands of times before, corruption doesn't mean giving decisions towards an end every single time. If the off-side avenue is closed off, there are plenty of other ways to influence a match for whatever reason.

In fact, giving decisions against the end validates the corrupt process so that people can come on football forums telling everyone how the system isn't corrupted for that very reason.
