VAR

[Blue83]

His arm doesn't go high though, the only thing that changes is Onana's body position in relation to the camera that gives the impression his arm is raised, it's amazing that these clowns will deny reality exists to say these decisions are the right ones

 

[helpimonfire]

VAR, huh, yeah
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, y'all

 

[Bebeto]

Dyche acknowledged that it was a penalty according to the rules today and onana is unlucky really. I would be very interested to listen to the audio of the red card to dcl in the cup.

We were glad to have it v Villa at the weekend,

VAR affects the match goer more than the tv viewer.
The explanation needs to be shown on the screen and the decision explained. Works in rugby and cricket. The crowd are just blind to proceedings as they are

They can't as it would be unequal for fanbases across the country, as Liverpool and United don't have screens in their stadium

Just watched this.

The ref was told by assistant VAR to award the penalty. So he does.
Then VAR say ‘checking ON FIELD decision to award a penalty’. That. Wasn’t the on field decision. He was told to give it.

WTF are we listening to there? Absolute shambles of a system and organisation using it.

The onfield decision was given by the Liner, not the ref who stated he had no view.

Imo, it's absolutely not a penalty, and there will be numerous occasions this year or next where that won't be given, and the excuse given will be distance travelled and natural position.

Was it?
At the game I never noticed the flag go up (I could and probably am wrong, but where I sit is facing that side of the ground and I normally do see the linesman’s flag).
listening to that and reading the transcript provided, he doesn’t give the pen until the AVAR says it’s a pen.

It was delayed at the time in the ground as he pointed for a corner first - towards that linesman. If his flag was up would he have initially give the corner.

AR2, the one nearest the play didn't give it and said he can't see, AR1, on the opposite side was the one who gave it. It says in teh bottom right of the screen who's talking.

That's why there was no flag raised, the second Liner doesn't have to, he simply talks to the others with what he sees.

true, but it didn't give us anything controversial, he was clearly offside AND it was a foul.

all it done was highlight further what an absolute state the officials are

I honestly believe that if VAR didn't exist, the Liner would have given that anyway. Their confidence has been shot down massively by the fear of immediate embarrassment, so they just let it go when contentious in real time.and let VAR deal with it. They'll only flag for things the have absolute confidence in, they used to flag at about 95% confidence and be right.

I remember reading a stat somewhere that Liners got something in the region of 99.7% of offside decisions correct. This was never what VAR was brought in to rectify.

My mistake. I thought AR was AVAR on the transcript.

So the linesman on the bullens / gwladys side gave it?

Should be premier league regulation

That's how I understand it mate, cause I thought the same as you at the ground. The ref gave a freekick and I couldn't get my head around how quickly VAR had overturned it considering it normally takes forever.
