imavillan Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 slide rule football again !!! where is Giroud trying to seek an advantage and now we have Gary Neville trying to defend it. He says he just does not get the problem with offside. If its off its off. I get that however when its like some of the goals being disallowed its utter tosh. players are not trying to seek an advantage with the offside. its garbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Basically legalised corruption at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imavillan Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 oh, lets not forget that Willian got booked for diving when it was a clear foul. VAR not used to check it. It was an obvious mistake from the ref yet its not checked. Laughable, he gets fouled and get a yellow. more nonsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 The problem is, and it always has been, is a total lack of accountability. When the faceless ref at Stockley Park makes these decisions, they close ranks. Kevin Friend made up rules to screw us out of a point at Palace and what happened? Zero. I'm beginning to smell a conspiracy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I said it before, VAR was brought into the Premier League to manipulate results. Its to stop teams like City, Leicester from challenging the "bigger" clubs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Quote We've asked the Premier League why Kurt Zouma's equaliser was disallowed. If you're just joining us, it was ruled out for a foul on Brandon Williams by Cesar Azpilicueta, but the Chelsea defender appeared to be pushed himself by Fred. The explanation from Stockley Park is that, in VAR Chris Kavanagh's view, the contact between Fred and Azpilicueta was normal, but Azpilicueta’s push on Williams was different as he put two hands on Williams' back and pushed him, which affected the defender's ability to clear the ball. from the BBC match report.

villalad21 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 VAR did nothing wrong. One were a clear foul and the other was a clear offside. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blatant red on Maguire? And the 'foul' was a push on Azpuilicueta first which took him into Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Intent is enough for a red card in that situation. And there is way more than intent here. You're blind if that is 'barely touching'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 VAR gives this as a red earlier this season https://streamable.com/ti9qq Maguire's is way worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're ruining the game and I really struggle to want to watch it anymore. They've done what years of watching us be crap couldn't manage.

Five Ken McNaughts Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Would have been a three-game ban for Maguire for "violent conduct" (same as Son). Now he won't even be retrospectively punished because the incident was seen and examined by VAR at the time. This is like a dark comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I dont believe it was malicious, but was as clear a red card as you will see: he lifts his lower leg and pushes it into his crotch in a positive, considered and intended action. For me there is no argument, even if Maguire was one of our players I wouldn't be arguing against a red, given the rules it was stupid of him.
