Penalty in one game for hitting his elbow while his body was turned away No penalty hitting elbow facing the ball These var decisions always favour the big money orientated clubs That’s what it was brought in for
The refs were bad enough for this, but now they have however many of them reviewing footage trying to go back to find a reason to dissalow a goal against Liverpool or a reason to give them a penalty! It's blatant, the Premier league brand needs to see these teams winning as its what brings in the foreign TV money!
I support VAR in principle, but it is hopeless in its current form as has been pointed out . Its not the system its the rules and the operatives.. The whole fiasco atm is like the Spot The Ball competitions sheer baloney.
I think the main problem is the people working the var don’t make the decisions on impulse They study it for too long looking for tiny irrelevant point before they inform the ref to stop the game Why is the linesman there he make no decisions if he is clearly offside raise the flag If you not sure keep it down Incedently that was always the case
Well 2 mag players were offside when the free kick was took and one of them scored mind the Villa goalie should have been off but they were abject and heading for the championship
It was always going to be like this. Horrible, deeply flawed, artificial, unfairly used, abomination. It is ruining the game. Almost certainly devised by a combination of people who have never paid to see a team play regularly, and probably the biggest clubs just to give them that tiny bit more leverage in some games. I'd say we see the latter quite often, when those certain clubs get VAR decisions go for them that other clubs wouldn't get. The latest farcical decision being when Utd's keeper smoked a Wolves player miles away from the ball a couple of weeks ago. Penalty every time at the other end that.
The thing here is that Dean is comfortable admitting this. He'll be comfortable because he knows he's not the only one.
As a manager I would be sacked. That debacle re: the Man u one i would have told my team to walk off. From what I can gather VAR is working quite well on the continent and would be working here if it wasnt for incompetenr/corrupt officials.
I’m still unsure of these var stupid rules Casimaro was offside when the cross came in However he was onside when he received The pass and it was still in the same incedent So you can come from offside then receive The ball when you are onside Strangec
The offside law, a concise explanation. 1863: Created to improve the game and prevent players seeking to gain an unfair advantage. 2023: Being used to imply an attacker's elbow being closer to goal than a defender's size nine is unfair. Conclusion; Sheer fcking stupidity denying football supporters of goals.
Needs to be binned, or changed so only used if a team requests it. Give a team couple of appeals in a match, like Tennis.
