VAR thread 2022/23

[deano ou812]

Four VAR decisions last season led to disallowed goals in our favour, while four penalties fell in our favour. We got lucky with our 1-0 away win at Everton in February. VAR has been great for us!! We would be much worse off without it, like the bad old days… Be careful what u wish for

What about the ones that went against us the Liverpool one with Sterling springs to mind..

You are not going to get every decision. Not possible. But we are much better off without the referee’s being given free reign to shaft us with no recourse. Arsenal yet another example of us not getting a penalty on Bernardo, which without VAR we dont win the league…

VAR is in our favour, because without it we get shafted. Its a given, red shirts get refereed differently

You win some you loose some, kinda evens it out and positives of VAR outweigh the negatives. Problem isn't the technology, its application is as VAR officials are not consistent enough but with time one can hope they will eventually get better.

Being old school, I prefer football with no VAR but we gotta adapt with time just like in any other sport or profession

I didn't watch the "biggest game in England" according to ten hag but I have just seen a replay and he looked onside. The point is did Sky show any lines and how quick was the decision?

No.

Not the usual lines coming from above, the crossed curser moving all over the place marking the extremity of the attacker and defender etc etc.

Decision made in about 15 seconds.

Had a few beers but that's the way I saw it!

Thanks for that mate I really didn't need to ask did I. It really is a crock of shit isn't it.

I think they have stopped showing the drawing of the lines this season.
The first look you get is either the green line indicating onside and red line for off. They have already made the decision when the still is shown

If this is the new way forward then why haven't I heard anything about it until tonight? Unless I have missed something that told us about the "tolerance"

 

[johnnytapia]

It was shite when it was first used and it’s shite now. Didn’t celebrate any of our goals yesterday like I would have done before VAR. I fucking hate it and always will.

I haven't heard anything about it just the observation over this seasons games not seen them drawing any lines.
I'm sure I read something about tolerance last season regarding thicker lines and if they cross it will be deemed onside

Is that the Rashford goal? I was convinced it was off in real time, but pretty sure it was onside.

It looked offside at first as they were both clear against the line in the grass. But the angle is confusing as Rashford is much closer to the camera. When they showed the lines the defender was leaning forward towards his own goal, which put his head just beyond Rashford's foot.

Perspective does make it hard to see at times. People seem to struggle with it.

The tolerance level was brought in before the start of last season. I can’t answer why you haven’t heard about it but it was discussed at length on numerous football shows that I watched at the start of last season.

 

[FantasyIreland]

The fucking 'tolerance' level??

How ironic that this word is being used where this shit show is concerned.Its gone a long way towards ruining the game,and,i suspect,the vast majority would see it fucked off in a heartbeat.

They should be a bit more transparent and rename it the 'manipulation' level.

Cunts.

If you genuinely cannot see the difference between someone jumping to head a ball and Trippier there is little point in discussing it.

As stated in other posts afterwards, it was to show that having two feet off the ground does not necessarily mean someone is out of control.

Big difference between a jump and a lunge

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Just shows the lengths of stupidity some people will go to, to try and make their point relevant. Jumping for a ball and lunging at a player knee high is like comparing apples to oranges. Two totally different things. Whatever floats their boat I suppose. I give up with them all.

There are far easier ways to measure if somebody is actually offside or onside instead of pissing about with lines.
You insert a microchip into the players boots and also one in the ball and that’s it,
If the attacking players boot is beyond the defending players boot , you’re offside, simple!

Where in the boot do you place the chip? Players are not always facing the same way and a big forwards size 12 and a CBs could result in a larger error than we have now.

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

You are now using the words that commentators use. If they replaced told to go to the screen to advised to take another look to see the other camera angles of the incident.

As I suggested before, if more decisions were sent to the monitor and the ref had the final say, I think most people would be happier.

I remember when we played Spuds in the Champs league semi. Not all angles were made available to the referee when Spuds scored with a goal line handball.
VAR is open to corruption as it is still about interpretation.
I wanted VAR to come in as the scousers were falling over themselves regularly to win penalties but they were still getting them the season after.
