If you have to rule a line to see it, it's not a clear and obvious error and it shouldn't be offside. Every single VAR check including offsides should be made by the match referee on a screen where he gets the 2 best angles played once each at normal speed. If he can see that he made the wrong decision, excellent, if he can't, the decision on the pitch stands. This is the big one for me. No one else should be in a ref's ear outside of saying 'check screen' and even then, the match referee needs to just be in the habit of doing that instead of waiting to be told. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Hopefully a small step in a positive direction. Still rather not have it thou. Quote Premier League Finally Making Change To VAR That Fans Have Been Calling For According to The Times, a plan is in place to publicly release conversations held between referees and VAR officials during a game. The main aim is to help fans get an understanding of the process of how VAR make decisions and will hopefully help improve transparency to fans. He said: “There is a general view that [releasing the audio] is a good thing. There is a desire to be more open with fans about referees’ decision-making and how we do that precisely we need to work out.” The concept has already been trialed by the MLS in the United States. A review of the on field discussions over decisions is released in audio format on YouTube. https://www.sportbible.com/football/premier-league-var-change-news-20220802 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, hearing what the weasels say will be interesting when they've clearly covered a cock up as in the case of Jon Moss against Man City. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) I've been a firm believer in the ref on the pitch watching the screen and making the decision but at this point I'm leaning towards having the VAR guys doing the calls but only having 30 seconds to do it. Any decision that takes longer than that to reach when looking at the pictures then the call on the pitch should stand. Spending minutes to watch replays of mm offsides, possible hand balls or tiny touches that might or might not be a foul is comical. They still get it wrong as often as they get it right so it's all pointless anyway. Edited August 2, 2022 by sne 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 The rule isnt just "if your arm is out". It's if it's in an unnatural position. I'd argue the guy didn't really have anywhere else to put his hand there without throwing himself completely off balance. As for the England one, I think they got it wrong. But deserved after the ref got virtually everything wrong in Germany's favour in the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
