peasy23 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Those are the rules. Any handball that leads to a goal is automatically a foul whether or not it's deliberate. It's a farcical rule which was only brought in because of VAR right enough, so you can sort of blame it.It's the inconsistency that annoys me, they have decided that any handball by an attacking player that leads to a goal is a foul, but defenders still have to either handle it intentionally or have their hands in an "unnatural" position to be penalised. It used to be that the attacking team would get the benefit of any doubt, but with the new handball law and offside being policed to 1mm by VAR, we've gone full circle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB1994 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Would not have even been reviewed or disallowed if VAR was not there..No it wouldn’t but VAR is there to interpret the laws of the game which it did correctly.It’s the new handball rule that is the problem for that one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the laws of the game so it was the correct decision.Do I agree with the rule? No but it is what it is just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but it is what it is just now.Nope. It’s a subjective rule made to ease the decision making of the VAR stasi.Just as is drawing fancy lines and making decisions on offside goals based on millimetres despite the fact that there are areas of uncertainty of when to freeze frame.I’ve been hostile to VAR for over 5 years now warning that it would be the ruination of our sport and take all the fun out of football.Everything I see reiterates that... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggy Snake Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Aubameyang gets a deserved red card via VAR. The decision took a little long and Peter Walton (as always) made a fool of himself with his comments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senorsoupe Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Watching Leicester and Southampton and VAR strikes again. Southampton have a penalty for a clear foul, but VAR calls it back for an offside that was under no circumstances a clear and obvious error, the Southampton player was offside by millimeters. So much for making VAR only for clear and obvious errors eh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Its going to be an absolute joke when two arsehole clubs get var brought in here purely because of their obsession with eachother, despite all the mounting evidence that its to the detriment of football enjoyment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
