VAR thread 2022/23

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Just watched Sampdoria v Milan.

You thought VAR was corrupt in the EPL...

Bent as a nine bob note in La Liga

It is massively bent if Sampdoria are playing Milan in La Liga…………

He was offside. Good application of VAR. Just needed common sense to re-instate the lad who got the 2nd yellow.

Initially looked that way but new images suggest this is now a massive cock-up by VAR.

 

[BlueHammer85]

Should we just allow last second goals to stand even if they shouldn’t - just so it doesn’t seem farcical ?

The laws of the game, he was offside. So the officials applied the laws of the game and got the correct decision

Agree with your first

As for your second point - if you take off your shirt it’s a yellow, doesn’t matter if the goal stood or not - he took of his shirt.

As I said. Common sense.

Incorrectly ruled out as mentioned above.

VAR missed Candreva near the corner flag.

Not that I give a fuck about Juventus but it's a bit of a howler.

That's a bit of an understatement.

The basic faults still remain:
It takes too long (in some cases, way too long).
The fans in the stadium don't have a clue what's going on.
There is no uniform application of the technology used to arrive at offside decisions. This 'drawing of the lines' things is a total farce.
Clear and obvious evidence to overturn the on field decision is not being used.

They seem to be re-reffing the game, which is something they said it would never be used for.

Common sense ? Booking someone for taking his shirt off is not common sense. It is a stupid rule brought in by idiots. It started when players had sponsors names under their shirts, rather than deal with that one problem, they went at it with a steam hammer.
They are taking all the emotion out of the game.
Re the Var. It seems a correct decision and yet it is being argued about in Italy, saying he was in fact onside. So var hasn't decided anything.

They class off side decisions as a matter of fact. So correcting a wrong decision is the whole point of VAR. Re-refereeing a game would be when a referee has a clear view of a tackle, decides it’s a fair one and then when they go on to score, going back for another look and deciding it was a foul. But that would never happen.

Even if the defender near the corner flag was playing him onside?

If you’re a referee you have to book someone for taking their shirt off no matter the circumstance or situation, you can’t let common sense apply otherwise it could lead for one rule for one, one rule for other etc. it’s a simple no shirt off or you get a yellow and all players know it

I think with proper reffing VAR could be redundant - you need strong willed referee's with a knowledge of the game - we can all accept VAR has not caused there to be a removal of all incorrect decisions. Mic-ing up the ref would help us know whats going on too - see this from RL this weekend. Thats how you do it

 

[Stephen230]

I think Mike Dean admitted that if Aguero had already been on a yellow, he would have conveniently have “forgotten” to give him a second one.

 

[inchy14]

Lots of angry Man Utd fans tonight with the penalty decision against them

Before VAR a ref would never have given that and it is nowhere near ‘stonewall’

The decision lost them the game

Ref gave that decision against Micah in the semi at anfield so with or without VAR it has been awarded.
