World Cup VAR

[bavarian blue]

'natural defensive reaction' you say?

It's just him coming down from a big jump, and trying to get his arms inside his body, he's not DELIBERATELY handled the ball, as per the rules.

Not a pen. Never was, never will be.

Agreed ,result was decided before the game.

LOL!!

Now I've heard it all!

Do arms come down at different speeds "from a big jump"??

His left one comes down quicker towards to the ball than his right one in 'natural' descent. So, explain how 'natural' that is?!

It's a 'natural defensive action' as I've said before!

You're not even trying to analyse it now.

You're just digging your heels in!

I think it has been a big success over all,it's never going to stifle debate but with the laws of the game it has got it right more often than not,the officials are the weak link not VAR itself

The problem is VAR depends on the whistling wankers interpreting it. Do you think Riley's minions will review many of our penalty claims or concentrate on penalty shouts against us?

Time will tell,at least if we get a lot of bad calls as usual we can pester them as to why they came to those decisions using VAR,right now they just say they didn't see it

Well..yes, unless you're jumping perfectly straight up in the air?

He's jumping, twisting, turning and concentrating on the ball and other players around him, all of which will affect his balance, and his limbs adjust (shock horror, in different ways and at different speeds) to accommodate this. There's also the fact Matuidi got a touch on it at the last moment which changed the trajectory and speed of the ball.

Is that enough analysis on this 'clear and obvious' error?

Ffs lads the match is done and dusted 3 hours ago,France won with a dodgy pen let’s move on,my and the rest of us should only be concerned when var comes to the premier league that regardless it will be used in a way to help certain teams and to fuck over others ( us being the main one)nothing will change ...

It's highly ridiculous the argument that's gone on in here, debating a definite handball by Perisic.

His reaction, after a heightened state of defence, was to move his hand TOWARDS the ball instinctively as otherwise it would have passed him and threatened the goal behind him. The fact that Matuidi misses the ball is what causes that instinctive defensive action!

Was it an accident? That would be a whole different argument based on 'nature vs nurture'!

The fact is, it happened and prevented a possibility of goal bound action.

Absolutely right to change his mind on it and I saw what the ref saw.

Excellent call.

I agree with you. The 'problem' with VAR is that correct calls are being given in situations in which players are used to getting away with it, and fans have got used to nothing being given, so it's a bit of a shock to the system for everyone.

Here's gonna be my last point.

You will see what you're going to see and I, likewise. The ref made a VERY courageous call based on not seeing the initial incident clearly from his position.

It was HIS decision. He could have easily gone with an easier option of sticking with his original incorrect observation/ guess.

He applied the rules to what he knows them to be.

His "clear and obvious error" was his guess in the first place.

He simply overruled himself.

Hope people read this!

Your observations are entirely correct.
