SCRAP VAR

[Sheedy's right knee.]

why have liners at all? Goal line tech can be applied to the extent of play lines, there can be a sensor in the ball to determine exactly when it is kicked, and each player can be made to wear a transponder, as many already do, if the transponder is in the same place for everyone, it should be easy for software to interpret where the players are exactly when the ball is kicked. On field discipline can be enforced by video monitors who ask the ref to look fat anything contentious. That is how to apply technology, not to get some halfwit wh knows the rules of football but not the game.

Herein lies the problem. They don’t want clinical state of the art technology. They want etch a sketch and fans heads falling off.

I hate var.
Offside was introduced so the attacker didnt gain an advantage. How, in Grays non goal, he is gaining an advantage, is beyond me?. From the point on the pitch he starts his run , there's no advantage in a foot, never mind 1cm.

I don’t think anyone realised just how many extremely tight offside goals were being scored. Very difficult to celebrate a goal now.

only football can bring in a new rule that reduces the amount of entertainment provided

fans voting with their feet and grounds being empty until VAR is binned seems the only way to get this done.

the media don`t make a stink unless its the Sky6 on the receiving end of a dodgy call

What does that mean? The two are inextricably linked. Technology can only improve matters where there is absolutely no need for interpretation , as with the over the goal line use. Furthermore, how can you say there's 'nothing wrong with VAR' when the drawing of the line(s) to consider offsides is in itself a subjective judgement.

He is right though. VAR could be a fantastic tool but the implementation is completely wrong. It shouldn't be used to call marginal offsides like we're seeing which the is the whole 'clear and obvious' thing that doesn't seem to really be implemented. Isak's and Gray's goals were not clear and obvious when it comes to 'offside', equally the sending off of Tripper should never have been overruled - it was too subjective.

Football and the interpretation of of its rules will always be subjective. What one man considers to be a red might not be for someone else. That's absolutely fine because there are so many variables that you can't account for every situation. However, fans and SKY have for years called for a level of consistency which isn't practical and now the powers that be are implementing VAR to the extent they are.

Yes, I used to like the "clear daylight between the players" interpretation of the offside law.

like Rodwell's on the Biting Rat

OH HELLO

[Poor language removed] this football ruining nonsense immediately

 

[Chegsy]

Scrap these stupid shoulder calls. How many times do you see a player putting one away with the shoulder.

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Other end and that’s a goal

 

[diggerdestroyer]

everything wrong about this heap of junk.

 

[arch stanton]

didnt even bother to look at VvD going over the ball into Onana, of course not, Liverpool aren't that kind of team, then listen to prick Walton justify why not. He even explained that contact with the shin should be looked at but because his foot then scraped down the leg to end oat the foot its only a yellow. Koff you corrupt arsewipe
