VAR & rule changes next season...

[andy4efc]

Over time we'll see less and less VAR things though as players will wise up to fact they can't get away with much. Maybe a dodgy first season but it'll work long run. Doubt most games will have any time taken either.

....I remember Arshavin scoring a goal in the Kop end many years ago. They reviewed it at half-time on Sky with Gerrard on the panel, and it was shown that Arshavin was marginally on side and the goal was correct. With a serious straight face, Gerrard said: “no, that goal should be disallowed because that counts as offside here”. That comment has always stayed in mind.

The Reds scored a few offside goals last year, I remember a ridiculous one in a draw at West Ham. They won’t be allowed next season.

Just going back to them lot, didn’t both of there goals on the last day of the season have question marks over them? Handball in the lead up to the first goal and a clear offside for the second? Can’t stand them, and this is what I hope VAR is used for, clear issues like offside, diving, penalties (whether it’s in or out of box for example) and blatant handballs.

...you make a very good point and it will be interesting to see how things pan out but I still think it will make it more of a level playing field.

Agreed. I’m hoping at the very least some of the absolutely indisputable ones will be called correctly. Clear offsides, clear dives etc. Even removing these would be a start. Goal line technology has been brilliant for stopping Pedro Mendes incidents so if we saw something similar for this and it could stop the likes of Terry making saves with his hands that wasn’t called, or Sterling bringing that ball back into play against us then that would be a start.

Doesn’t actually make the slightest bit of difference at all.

I never said it did. Maybe it makes no difference at all...then again maybe it makes every difference

I'd prefer it if using VAR for those kind of things was the end rather 'a start'.

I hope the refs use the rule that any player asking for var gets booked. They are supposed to book players showing a mock card but dont,they need to do it for var.

It's not the technology that's the problem it's the 'experts' using it. Been some horror decisions in woman's world cup as an example.
Should be top x players driving it like in cricket..

How about applying a time limit for a VAR decision to be made, if undecided after say 1 minute, it goes back to the referee to decide? The referee would have then had time to reflect to make the decision if required.

To me it has to be done the Cricket way, or Rugby way where the aducticator talks through on screen the decision for the crowds understanding and explanation or it just won't work plus the other lot will have to cram a screen in their shed of a ground somewhere too
As it stands now no one has a clue in what's happening on a var decision you find out at half time or at the end of a game pathetic.....

 

[jaycee]

The only problem I have with it is the same incompetent people are now miles away from a game deciding whats right or wrong

Rugby have it spot on, I’ve been to a game and experienced it where it goes TMO, as soon as there is dialect between the on pitch ref and the one reviewing the video, it’s connected to the audio system within the stands. It’s a brilliant way to do it, you can hear why the decision is being reviewed and the reasons for or against. Basically everyone understands what’s going on.

Where as now the crowd just wait not knowing what the hell is going on .......I think a screen in every ground is needed it would be so easy to do and the VAR ref can check all the angles too - it took Cricket an age to get it correct also I feel a player from any opposition should have only one review each half - if he feels the ref gets it wrong with the Captain of each team having the final decision to ask for VAR not the Referee as he has already made his decision ....

I couldn't imagine the crowd going silent waiting for a contentious goal to be reviewed in the last minute of a derby game.

...no, I don’t think so. An offside is an offside, it’s not subjective. The referee will be told, they won’t be asked to take a look. Similarly, they’ll be told if a foul is inside or outside the box because that’s not subjective.

Ah good

The keeper must keep on his line till the ball is kicked when a penalty is being taken...

Var will order the kick to be re-taken if keeper moves off his line before ball has been kicked & penalty has been saved....

Pickford take note please...
