Re: VAR
VAR is turning really crap?!

It's always been really crap!

I'm not at all surprised with how it's all turned out. But now it's here, and pretty much everyone wanted it here, it's here to stay.

One of my biggest complaints that I've always had about it, is that it can't be implemented at all levels of the game. You can't have VAR at an U14's game, for example.

Yet somehow this has surprised Shearer who was saying the other day that "we should not be using VAR in this game if we can’t use VAR in every FA Cup game".

Re: VAR
Each team should have 3 claims each half, decided by the captain, similar to tennis. How the Krul assault wouldn't have been a pen and sending off then is undeniable. Spurious claims would reduce massively, as would the pressure on the ref surrounded by a baying mob of players

Depends on who the people at Stockley Park have had a bet on that day.

Re: VAR
The reality of VAR is no one has a scooby how to use it, there are no defining guidelines or rules, etc, it's simply made up as we go along for each incident. It's just Russian roulette. A piece of shit. Should just be used for offside, but of course won't happen.

VAR is turning really crap. I guess there is no chance to go back to how it was? I hope they wake up and realise what a mess they are making with their misuse of VAR.

The bias on here is incredible. Give it a rest you embarrassing cunts.

Re: VAR
Bowen's goal was correctly ruled out I think. Vlasic went to head it and didn't connect.

Their goalkeeper couldn't dive for the cross as he was waiting for the header.. So interference.

Bowen against Leeds made no difference as the keeper saved it anyway.

Re: VAR
I’ve just seen the Vlasic drag down by the keeper… how on earth weren’t that given?!

Re: VAR
The disallowed goal they’d probably make the excuse that a player was offside, despite him not interfering with play or impeding the keepers sight
But both the dragging Vlasic to the ground by his face and then in the second half the pulling back of his shorts are about as stonewall as you can get
We’re currently living in a country where VAR is so corrupt that most people just ignore it now, but there’s clearly something wrong going on
I don’t know if it’s to do with betting or deliberately trying to manufacture league positions but the evidence is overwhelming
Some of these decisions are so blatant that they couldn’t even be excused by trying to explain why, I feel their only excuses could be poor eyesight or an understanding of the rules
However, as supposed top level officials these couldn’t ever cut it as excuses
A full blown investigation is needed, but I would never expect one in a million years

Re: VAR
Tonight VAR ruled us a goal when ref ruled it out and just seen on way home it denied Spurs 2 pens and an offside goal. So tonight I’m VAR in!

Re: VAR
On way back from the game so haven't properly seen it, but why wasn't Bowen's goal (given offside) in the first half reviewed by VAR?

Re: VAR
Why wasn’t the Norwich goalkeeper reviewed for serious foul play? Looked like a stonewall penalty and a red card to me.

Re: VAR
Villa deserve to be at least level,Man Utd look ordinary at best.

On the (1st) disallowed goal,the kid who blocked Cavanni looked straight at the ref which suggested he knew what he'd done.

That was a fucking disgrace.. Not to mention Shaw should have been booked about 3 times..

El Scorchio 11:11 Mon Jan 10
Re: VAR
And there is a classic big club VAR decision in the Man U cup match. Absolutely searched their hearts out for anything to disallow that Villa goal. Offside, handball, fouls.... Pffft.

That argy bargy happens on every set piece.

Re: VAR
Scorchio

I think Stockley Park spotted that one. On Sunday these sort of offsides were being scrupulously called.

I actually don't mind if there's a mistake if they learn from it.

El Scorchio 2:29 Sun Jan 2
Re: VAR
I noticed that as well and the commentators also remarked upon it. Seems like a nonsense way of going about things. If they scored in the next couple of minutes they’d have still had the luxury of an advantage granted by being offside even if it was another ‘phase’ of play. Bullshit rule. Lino needs to stick his flag up there when they retain possession.

I was also wondering slightly about the penalty. If play didn’t stop very soon after, how long would they have let it go on until it was properly checked? Is the protocol that the VAR bloke tells the ref to pause the game regardless?

Re: VAR
In the second half yesterday, Palace played the ball up the right wing to a player in an offside position. The flag stayed down while the attack proceeded, the ball got crossed and partially cleared, but Palace still had possession and were still attacking.

Nothing came of it, but we should have had a free kick which we never got, and Palace had possession in the final third for two phases of play, through having the benefit of playing the ball in to a player in an offside position without being penalised.
