Considering legal action over goal villa v Sheffield Utd https://www.skysports.com/football/...t-goal-during-aston-villa-vs-sheffield-united If successful do you think we could appeal against our 2 results that efl apologised for happening to us. Lol . That’ll be a no, don’t think Bournemouth will get anyway as well
The action is against Hawk-Eye, they’ve got absolutely no chance of winning as they never professed the system to be right 100% of the time and all the clubs signed off on it. It’s ridiculous.
I can imagine being pretty pissed off though. Relegated over the fact that the cleaner forgot to plug the computer back in.
But I've been saying from the beginning. All this technology will solve all the little problems, but will always create bigger problems. I say leave things down to human error. It can still hurt, being relegated on the strength of a stupid refereeing decision but its a lot more acceptable than a club losing millions because of a computer glitch, an error made in some office well away from the action on the pitch. Will never be a fan of VAR. I thought it was brought in to police the glaring mistakes. Not pick up on the things that nobody even bloody noticed in the first place. Cant stand the fact that VAR sticks their oar in after a goal is scored, even when there has been no protests, even after fans have calmed down from their celebration. Football is never black and white, it has so many grey areas that even repeated slow motions from different angles can still have pundits disagreeing. Get rid. Leave the **** ups to the refs. If it has to stay, the whole system needs changing. It should be used only under the strength of protest by the opposition, diving, obvious handballs, cheating etc, not generalised things like fouls and being offside by the width of a pubic hair. At least it has greatly reduced diving mind, and the players behaving like fannies!
****s sakes, sour grapes or what. You sign up to it, accept it... and play a lot better so you're not relegated in the first place.
Think that's bollocks from Bournemouth mind. It's a bit ****e VAR was looking the other way but hey ho, learn for next time. And learn for next time not to spend £30 odd million on Ibe and Solanke as well. That might help.
that is as clear as Lampard's goal against Germany, so that proves that VAR etc are a waist of time. That was a goal and Bournemouth should NOT have been relegated end of. Had that been Man c or Chelsea of course they would get the decision. And on that the mags played a sub against Liverpool and should not of, what will happen to them ?. Sheff w and Birm will be alright also as the F A will decide about xmas their fate.
Whilst I agree about the Villa v Sheff Utd goal being shocking, who's to say what would've happened second half had the goal been allowed? Villa may have come out and fought harder. (And I would've loved to see Villa relegated!!). The system is flawed - I reckon the linesman should've given it and probably would have had they not been told they don't need to as hawkeye will do those!
This is it mate. Folk never seem to account for the fact the entire game changes if a decision is different, the result doesn’t stand there. You see it all the time teams score then instantly concede, what are Bournemouth appealing for here? ‘it might have been a loss but your goal decision system that we already know isn’t 100% accurate wasn’t 100% accurate...’. Erm, ok then
I think referees are gonna soon rely so heavily on technology they are barely gonna be needed on the pitch. They are gonna be so half arsed that they are not gonna keep up with play cos they know VAR will deal with it. They will soon lose fitness to the point that in a generation or two referees are gonna be right fat bastards just parking themselves on the centre spot, pint in one hand and a giant kebab in the other, barely having enough puff to blow a whistle.
Why can’t it be more like the decisions made at the rugby & cricket matches? An incident replayed to th e officials ( with an independent TV official) backwards and forward, with the crowd watching and listening. A splatter of chalk dust, a foot in the wrong place or a grounded ball is talked about and then a decision made; crowd displeased but in acceptance of the decision. The ‘disallowed’ Sheffield goal was so blatantly obvious a goal and yet the official was not allowed to override it, almost smacks of corruption.
A team is relegated due to its performances over a whole season. Just as Bournemouth had the rest of the game to overcome the error, so they had the rest of the season to get enough points to avoid relegation.
Football suffers from more complications, more grey areas and is more open to corruption. You show an incident to an official, that official may have a totally different interpretation of an incident to 99% of an angry home crowd who would also have the benefit of video replays? HELL ON!!! At least previously we could put it down to a ref's heat of the moment human error. But you get the ref making the wrong decision even after the benefit of hindsight at his disposal, as the crowd watches on? HELL ON!!!!! I just think VAR is another step in a long line of things that has progressively taken the Ooompph out of football. It's like they're taking away an improvised off the cuff comedy and replacing it with a mundane, unfunny, awfully written script.
Bournemouth weren't even playing mate. It was villa and Sheffield utd. They dont mention the amount of points they dropped themselves due to being ****.
Isn’t it a fact that refereeing mistakes were always a major part of the game anyway? Controversy adding to the drama and that, human error being part of sport?
A good friend of mine is a Vile supporter and we happened to be playing golf shortly after the 'error' of goal-line technology... The main discussion was about who had paid/bribed whom or who did the hacking on the system.
