Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

Your a Goon fella ... you wouldn't know defence if I gave you postcrete, nails and timber

 

... because footie never stops for some fanny rolling around like they've been shot ... aerosoling free kicks... goal celebrations

 

Ex pros

Ian Wright - 'Aubameyang is clearly 3 yards offside, but it's against Spurs so **** it, let's say he was just on '

 

...and Rugby also has some weirdos...

 

The ball is in play for less than half of a rugby union match compared to 2/3 of a football match.

 

Hardly the same is it ?

Rugby is a game that operates in a stop / start way, scrum downs, line outs etc. It's built into the rules of the game.

Football is a free flowing game, or at least it's supposed to be.

 

Thanks Statto ... but the main point is how the technology is used; quickly, efficiently and invariably gets the correct outcome

 

Oh yeah that's the other thing I forgot to mention; ditch off the pitchside monitors.

Why are they needed? We should only be using VAR for clear and obvious errors in which case you don't need the on pitch ref to have a look.

If you have to say "Ooohhh, dunno about that one, you might wanna have another look" then it's quite clearly not clear and obvious.

It should only really be used when you can take one look and go "Nope, you've got that wrong. Needs overturning"

 

No, the point is rugby is a far more of stop-start sport. It’s often not used quickly at all even with fewer subjective calls.

 

And that highlights one of the major issues: They don't want to overrule their mate.

 

The technology only looks at trys and serious infringements ... the pattern of the game is somewhat irrelevant to that

 

You could have 20 people all telling Fosse the obvious and he'll still not see it

 

I'm fully expecting VAR to give Liverpool 3 points this afternoon, just like it did last time we played.

 

Which is why it should be a separate body...

The best bet would be to recruit officials from abroad for VAR.

 

They’ve not used penalty for a while, so I can defo see him getting an outing today.

 

Mornin.

Gonna have a catch up.

Bet Libby was cryin bout var tho

 

He hasn't even mentioned it bro.

 

I'm not sure, I think Salah may have hurt his vocal chords which means he's just not screaming loud enough at the right pitch.
I'm going for a convenient application of an ambiguous rule.

 

I can’t have some forren making decisions on Burnleh after winning three wars.

 

Anyway Chavs against Brum first up ... bit dull so far tbf
