raith_94 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I can’t believe Man Utd are the 2nd best team in the country. Has the standard been that bad?Yes. Yes it has. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwork Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I got the impression he was checking for a red card, rather than for the penalty. Absolutely, he gives himself the opportunity to check for the foul to award the pen, and in deciding so, then re-checks to judge if it’s worthy of a 2nd yellow (or clearly stopping a goal scoring opportunity?) to produce the Red Card. He studies the monitor twice and on each occasion (even with the slowed-down action reply) still doesn’t reach the conclusion that everyone seems to agree with, that the player wasn’t fouled but blatantly dives as soon as he’s inside the box. It’s a nonsense, he gets BOTH decisions wrong despite the aid of a pitch side review. This technology was supposed to eradicate result changing errors of judgement such as this. It’s doing nothing of the sort. I really hope that the use of VAR is never introduced into the Scottish game or certainly the way it is currently being deployed in the EPL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest_Fifer Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 The BBC league table had given today's points to Man United already. They're 3rd as it stands - above Ancelotti's Everton and Mourinho's Spurs. If they win their game in hand, they'll be 2nd above Leicester. That much better than most pundits and OGS's critics had predicted.The BBC league tables are updated live as the matches are played, that's why they had the points.The point however stands that they could be 2 points behind Liverpool if they win their game in hand, when they're apparently complete shite. Go figure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 McTominay goes into the history books as the first player since the inception of the Premier League to score twice in the first 3 minutes of a match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluearmyfaction Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Livermore goes in hard on Grealish: red. Hause stamps on Diangana: yellow. You think YOUR refs are bad? Try having Twatkinson for fifteen years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Aldo Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Not sure if the standard is very good or very bad this season. A top 4 place could be there for the taking for anyone down to 11th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Sounds like we battered them, but were lucky with the Hause non-sending off. We can finish top half. Top six isn't completely impossible. Can't see Allardyce keeping Baggies up. Theym shit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) Am I missing something? This was given offside based on the wee daft lines with the defender closest to Maddison? Surely Aurier is playing him on? ETA, now I looks again maybe I can see why, but surely that's a perfect illustration of how terrible VAR is Edited December 20, 2020 by Bairnardo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s incredible that no one involved in VAR has considered the margin for error in having a human being trying to guess the precise moment the ball is played. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre VAR, they play multiple replays of that and not one single pundit or viewer says its offside. Guaranteed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pundits have largely stopped criticizing it and pouring over each decision it gets wrong.

Guaranteed. Yep. I've felt for a while that VAR should be used for offsides, but take away the lines and just let the VAR official just say if he thinks it's offside or not after a couple of replays. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 It happens in leagues all the time, some team is Barcelona 2010 and a team who are 'in crisis' and about to free fall to the Vauxhall Conference are a point behind them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where has he picked up those percentages from? I'd really like to know that. That sort of ranting and raving is right up there with McGhee saying "Go and look me up on Wikipedia. I've got a track record". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
