Video technology (VAR) in football

Yeah

Well, that’s dumb.

Your watching a video of a decision. You litterly can’t get it wrong lol

Youll never disagree with any decision made using VAR then. Cool.

I actually won’t as it will be correct :+1:

We’ll see. Dont think the pen in the WC final was right personally.

loooooool

I think the decision to disallow Morata’s goal tonight was wrong too. That kind of thing is too subjective and not what VAR should be used for IMO. It should only be used to correct clear errors, things that are obviously yes or no – he’s either offside or he isn’t, it’s either in the box or it isn’t etc. With the Morata pushing incident, it’s a matter of opinion not fact, on another day another assistant ref would allow the goal to stand.

I don’t even remember the world cup haha

It should be time boxed, or limited to number of replays. If you need more than 10 seconds or 2 angles to determine an offside then it’s not offside.

Football shouldn’t be about such bullshit as the point of his knee was in front of the heel of the opponent by 3cm, or from the 4th angle there was a tiny bit of contact so it’s a penalty.

Just had a look for the first time. Both were penalties for Schalke. What is everyone moaning about?

It was absolutely the right decision to disallow the goal. Two hands on the back of Chelieni, clear push which allowed Morata room to head it in.

VAR was excellent in the Atleti game tbh. Cant comment on the City game.

Love VAR.

It’s not perfect and needs improvement but not having it because of romanticism is bullshit.

Romanticism left football ages ago. If you’re complaining of referees possibly having another tool to help them make decisions, at least make valid criticisms.

I remember it being so romantic when United would score those goals that were never over the line but were called because otherwise red nose would shout at the ref.

Now goal line tech has killed the romance!1!1!!1!!1

See, this is what i’m talking about. You only need to look at Twitter to see how split people are on it.

Personally, I think Chiellini was already going down before Morata even touched him. And he was so very dramatic about it too. Either way, I still don’t think VAR should be used for things like that.

If a player puts two hands on the back of another then the right decision is to award a foul tbh.

I actually can’t see how it’s not a foul lol.

This is my fear here. You make the game virtually non contact sport. You can jump and have contact even with hands touching someone without it being a foul.
In short what you get here is a reason to change a decision.

It was romantic in 1966.:thinking:

Pitch side screen didnt work, so fuck VAR.
Great logic.

What a massive fuckup lol. Screens not working. Though it does reek of sabotage.

What is the hand ball rule tho? City’s defender was trying to move his arm behind his back and use his shoulder or chest to block the flight of the ball. That’s not the definition a hand ball, hand ball iirc is supposed to have intent and an the arm be in an unnatural position. The rules of the game aren’t even clear enough for the refs to be able to make the right judgement call.

And this btw was more of my issue with the pandora’s box that the replay opens up. It’s only going to convolute the current rules to confusing levels.

Who’s said that?
