VAR thread

[rudedog]

Corrupt to the core with cunts like Atkinson running it. It has only shown even more how incompetent English officials are.

It's not Atkinson running it, it's much worse than that.

It's Mike ****ing Riley.

The tug on Perez was so incredibly obvious, I just don't see how anyone.. even the incredibly inept Stuart Attwell couldn't see that as anything other than a blantatn pen. So far this season VAR has been an epic failure.

[S-RED]

just seen the sheff u goal that was disallowed, football is ****ed........... so bobb'y armpit was offside, but the spurs centre half's shoulder wasn't considered when drawing the arbitrary line .......... **** me

oh BTW it was john moss doing the VAR ....

[Scratch]

These VAR lines are right confusing, cos perspective and all, but I don't think there was as much wrong with that one as the twitteratzi make out.

[ChesterDave]

I'm looking forward to seeing it because, I think it was Le Tossier on Soccer Saturday, described it along the lines of the man playing him onside is 25 yards away so he was well offside.

[Buzzo]

That Sheff U disallowed goal is taking the piss.

Worst one yet.

[Fivex]

How is the message not getting through that something needs to change and fast?

[Norbs]

Same as everything in football, they probably think it's just sour grapes. Trouble is is that if you look on Twitter, fans of all teams are laying in to the bad decisions, even fans of the team who benefitted from the decisions

[ChesterDave]

The Sheffield United one took three and a half minutes to show depending on frame rates a toe might have been offside. Hardly “clear and obvious"

[BobTheCharmer]

This should be nothing to do with club bias, it's for the detriment of football. Every fan should face the wrong way at games for a minute to highlight a unified dislike of the system.

And the goal came 2 phases after the ‘offside’.

There’s no way those lines are accurate in such tight calls. We already know the frame rates mean the replays are only accurate to about 20cm. So anything like this which can only be a few millimetres either way, is just guesswork.

To the naked eye, he is onside, as was Firmino, Sterling, etc. Unless the replay shows an obvious offside, the goal should be allowed to stand.

3 mins 47 seconds to come to that decision

I've been saying this for a while and have been surprised that so few pundits and journalists have been discussing it. They discussed it on Sunday supplement today though, so maybe people are starting to become aware.

Ball can't touch your hand in the attacking phase or it's disallowed ala Mane at Old Trafford.

Unless its Man Utd scoring the goal then it's perfectly fine and allowed to stand.

Best. System. EVER!
