Frankly, the linesman should have picked it up, but it makes them look really stupid, because the only person in the Country watching the game who could not see it was the VAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 39152 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 So it wasn’t really VAR’s fault, it was the linesman who missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing was a fucking farce, with the referee giving Melbourne carte blanche to man handle the Newcastle players and that lineman was blindingly bias, a bit like the cunt that gave the penalty against NUFC on Saturday. VAR is just an excuse for referees not to make decisions and for the VAR referee to re-referee the game on matters they should have no say in, as has been obvious this season with the a-league. Offsides and dubious goals should be all VAR is used for. Edited May 7, 2018 by sammynb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 43837 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 When goals can't be properly celebrated then the games fucked. Wrong decisions have been around since the game started in the 19th century. We managed just about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This var from all I've seen of it so far is definitely taking something away from the game, a goal goes in and you half feel people looking around to see whether there's going to be a look at it and refs walking around looking at a screen while everyone waits around. It's fucking bollocks, man. The goal line technology seems to work fine and is instant so that's great but I just think this is spoiling the whole event of a goal being scored. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawb 5407 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Has there been a VAR disputed goal yet like? Genuine question cos I don’t remember one. I just remember VAR being used to correctly call 2 penalties so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like you can see it in the players too sometimes. Maybe it's just teething problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 17233 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Not sure what's wrong with just having those full kit wankers in the grassing booth giving the ref instant advice. No idea why he has to go up to the tv on wheels to have a look at something that multiple touchers have already told him is a penalty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
