Like a lot of things VAR is completely spoiled by the twats using it. I get this and largely agree but they had to change the law for the Man City goal to be ruled out last night. After 131 years of the laws of the game being virtually unchanged they’ve been changed not to ensure fairness but to appease the media and tv audiences.

ewerk 39231 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Surely it simplifies the law? Refs no longer have to guess players’ intentions but it’s simply a case of whether there was contact with the ball or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the Spurs defenders surround the ref after Jesus eventually scored? It’s fundamentally changing the game for the sake of tv. Am hoping you can see that side of it too. Am also looking forward to the first attacker blasting a ball at a players arm to get a penalty this season 👍 Edited August 18, 2019 by PaddockLad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts 2nd goal was set up by a deliberate hand ball. You’re saying because the ref missed it that’s alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in favour of it, give it a couple of seasons. If it’s still a ball ache then I’ll be happy to see it dropped. But overall it should benefit teams like us with less ‘big club’ decisions going against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 15528 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I think there should be a review system like cricket tbh. Give captains/managers three per game & after that it’s hard lines. It stops the offside rule routinely being whittled down to millimetres & absurd decisions like yesterday’s hand ball that nobody knew about till some geek in a van clocked it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 15528 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 They’re introducing sin bins into all grassroots & women’s football. Honestly, with the combination of sin bins & VAR in its current guise I would probably sack it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The situation where tv viewers know more than the ref has been ridiculous since “action replays” were introduced. The situation has become increasingly untenable since the advent of pay tv. So I can largely accept that the tech had to come in. To change the rules of the game off the back of it though is really taking the piss. It’s all media driven. As if it’s THEIR game. What about helping the folk creating the atmosphere in the actual stadium to understand what the fuck is going on first?

Noelie 103 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I think it has somewhat of a place in the game if only determining that a ball has fully crossed the line or not and is a goal or not. Perhaps it has a place in decisions regarding hand-balls and off-sides but only on occasions of heated protests by the victims bringing the call, or no call, into question. VAR's purpose is to assist the referee, not needlessly overturn honest decisions he makes. Man City goal should have stood, it would have last season and the years before. I didn't see any protests about hand-ball, nor did I see the hand-ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 7476 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Wondered if this would make its way here saw it on reddit earlier and saw it reasonably well picked apart as well. Quote Everyone should be aware that the only source for VAR running at 50 frames per second is that Sky HDTV broadcasts at 50 frames per second. The VAR officials absolutely have access to video running at a higher framerate than that broadcasted out on Sky, so the entire basis of this argument is defunct. Ultra-Motion Cameras provided by Hawk-Eye work up to 340 fps. The VAR system uses 8 slow-motion and 4 ultra-motion cameras With a 340 fps utra-motion camera, the "margin of error" using the Daily Mail's 23.4kph (which isn't sourced either) from one frame to another would be 1.91cm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
