DeeTillEhDeh Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 The real issue with VAR is that they seem to pick and choose what a clear and obvious error is. There is still a human error element.The only way it is going to work is to go the way of other sports that give each side a limited number of Video Appeals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermik Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Love watching these games with the background sound effects. The wee dude that presses the buttons is pretty quick off the mark. There must be a button marked "indignant home fans" that they push for any contentious decision 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 The use of VAR for offside has been a nonsense all season. Instead of measuring offside by the millimetre just run the line along ther freeze frame and if the player doesn't look clearly offside just allow the goal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contentious decisions are part of football, a decision to disallow a goal on a replay because of 1cm is not a contentious decision its just utter pish. I'm not seeing amy benefit to it. Goalline technology fine, var no. If they stick with it then they need to change laws to clear gap etc for offside Edited July 16, 2020 by Tynierose 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAR could be very useful for the game because it can correct obvious errors. In the EPL, goals are being ruled out because a toe is judged to be offside by a referee using arbitrary lines in Stockley Park. IMO, in such situations, the scorer's body is level with that of the defender and he is therefore onside. All that is required is for sensible rules on using VAR to be issued by FIFA, UEFA and the national associations.

It's the bad decisions by poor referees in Stockley Park that are killing the game. The officials on the pitch must have total control of the game. The VAR officials should only ask the referee to review a possible error. The ref should then go to the screen beside the pitch, watch the replays and review his decision. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Don’t want Villa to go down. If they can beat Arsenal there’s some potential for some proper final day drama depending on other results. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Apparently there is the potential for Man Utd and Leicester to pull off a West Germany - Austria '82 on the final day if they both win their next game and Chelsea lose to Liverpool. It would be worth it just to hear Andy Jacobs' meltdown on Talksport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eez-eh Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 A quick look at an offside should be all that’s needed. If it isn’t clearly offside from that then just leave it. The second they start getting out the protractor it can get in the fucking sea. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of measuring offside by the millimetre just run the line along ther freeze frame and if the player doesn't look clearly offside just allow the goal. How clear is clearly offside? Because once you run the line alone to match up with the second last defender, then it's just a case seeing if the attacker breaks that line. Is it clearly offside if they are ahead by a few cm or does it need to be half a foot or even a whole foot? 14 minutes ago, pandarilla said: For offsides they could bring in a 'linesman's call', much like cricket. That would give a leeway for bad decisions. Correct me if I'm wrong but in cricket umpire's call is used for Hawkeye's LBW predictions, which obviously has a margin of error for hitting the stumps after the ball has hit the batsman. In football the technology for offside is dealing with footage from events that have happened. So there's much less margin of error as it's not making predictions. If you added say a 10cm buffer zone as a kind of linesman's call, you still need to work out if the player is offside by 10.1 or 9.9cm instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
