VAR thread 2022/23

[eboblue]

This was exactly what used to happen and why the rule was changed.

Mané's pen in CL final v Spuds was exactly that

They couldn't have semi automated offsides because it would lead to the scum being relegated.

Marginal calls can’t be manipulated with the new tech.

You mean they haven't worked out the way to manipulate it yet. Don't assume PGMOL won't make changes to how it is implemented .......

Seems they are now moving towards recruiting specialist VARs rather than it being a semi retirement job for ex referees. Likely to take some time though, so probably not going to notice much difference at the start of next season.

Translation:

Rashford goals cannot be disallowed.

Can’t find this story anywhere. Not even on Martin Lipton’s Twitter.

Anyone got a link to where it’s been reported?

E.g




I have to say brilliant move for FA.
6/7 from City is too harsh to handle so they have to put great obstacles.

 

[ManCityGR!]

What bullshit reason have they come up with?

I would be very much interested to the reason too.
A good laughter for sure.

I'm guessing it just doesn't fit in with Scudamore's 'strategic plan'.

the reason they came up with is that technology is moving so fast that something better might come along.

I've never heard such a shit decision in my life. The premier league is the richest league in the world and it deserves the best technology around by default. The fans pay for this so we expect fast accurate decisions. If the tech is only around for a year before being replaced then so what.

Well it was the Premier League clubs themselves that vetoed it. Nothing to do with the FA.
