Sergeant Wilson Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 5 hours ago, charger29 said: Yes. The issue is with VAR, not the offside rule. If technology let them they'd literally take the measurement of offsides down to the atomic level. No rule or refs interpretation of a rule will ever be perfect no matter how much IFAB tinker. Mistakes happen as well. Remove the lines, remove offside from VAR or better yet, get VAR to f**k. And that's the problem the football authorities failed to anticipate. VAR is too accurate for football when used at it's capacity. They should have implemented an old version that left some margins or not have bothered at all. As it is we have decisions made on the strength of images where the important but is barely visible under a microscope. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) 10 hours ago, Diamonds are Forever said: I agree that sounds like the 'least worse' solution, but I still question how you define a clear and obvious error when deciding whether to stick with or overturn a decision? There would surely need to be some objective criteria used to apply this, like specified margins of error in the technology? Can it be resolved at a look at the monitor within a maximum number of seconds (15, 30 maximum)? Yes/No. As soon as some poindexter tries to get a ruler out and draw fictional lines, the on-field verdict stands.

peasy23 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Burnley's defence parts like the Red Sea to allow Aubameyang to fire Arsenal in front in the 6th minute. Pope got a hand to it but couldn't keep it out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 "Apologies if you heard any bad language around the time of the Arsenal goal." Sean Dyche going tonto imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Nah, there's no way Calum Chambers is still at Arsenal. I'd have been less surprised if I saw him lining up for Burnley today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Handball rules are just now the equivalent of closing their eyes and chucking a dart at yes or no. It definitely shouldn't be a penalty for any normal person, because his arm didn't move towards the ball. However, under the rules it should have been so I'm baffled as to why it wasn't given. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
