Aforesaid housemaid was friends with an acquaintance of mine and he took great delight in telling everyone that Ms Vorderman shaved her bits.

The VAR lads are doing their best here, but the frame stopping and line drawing is ridiculously vague.

 

Automate it and look for daylight between players to give the attacking team the advantage. I'm sick of seeing goals ruled out because a player is 1 pixel offside 

[thebrokendoll 7150]

scrap it altogether.

it's a fucking abomination.

[Holden McGroin 4974]

I’m in favour of scrapping it completely but it’s never going to happen.

 

id be happy with AI semi-automated offsides and goal line technology. Let the onfield ref do the rest. 
 

Id consider the captain requesting 1 VAR challenge per half/game if they felt eg there was  a stonewall penalty not given.

I didn't see that you'd posted this, and have just posted the same. Think they do the best given the tech available tbh.

I looked at where they were drawing those lines and thought where they positioned the first shoulder line looked like they hadn't taken into account the rest of his arm. Regardless of the penalty decision, where they drew that first line seemed to make the Chelsea player offside due to the ridiculously tight margins rather than marginally inside with a redrawn line. I still think if you're looking at that level of detail, you shouldn't be doing it from an obscure angle and should instead have some kind of line tech running right along the pitch for photo finish kind of margins. Romero is still a dirty bastard though

[thebrokendoll 7150]

the disallowed goal at the end for chelsea at villa....

 

a foul?

 

fuck this var abomination to the fucking blight on football it is.

It was a foul like. The ref should have spotted it in real time and VAR would never have had to create "controversy". 

[Holden McGroin 4974]

Aye, it was a foul. It was almost like the ref didn’t have the balls to give it but was hoping VAR would give him the nudge. 
 

He was about 6 yards away from it with a clear view.

Is this not exactly an example of what isn’t being addressed enough?

The responsibility and the skill (I know) of the on pitch officials has been completely undermined, in fact I’d go so far as to say destroyed.

The most obvious example being (pretty) obvious offside play being allowed to continue until a ‘goal’ has been scored.
