Louie’s goal just wouldn’t be the same with VAR in my opinion. The moment of celebration etc is something I’ve missed. With VAR it’s a case of goal and wait to see if it’s overturned because his nose is offside. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Was there? I thought FA cup games had no VAR? They did a good job of not getting involved compared to the PL games if so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only different implementations in different countries, but even within different domestic competitions in the same nation, it's absurd. I've been enjoying the games with no VAR at all, though. Goal scored. Quick glance at the assistant, and you know where you stand. In order of preference, I'm torn between no VAR vs a better VAR implentation, both of which are better than the PL farce.

So further to my previous post, not only different rules in different competitions, it depends on the bloody venue. If Spurs were drew at home, there would be VAR, but they were away, so there wasn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Spend 5 minutes looking at a yellow card. Spend 5 second checking an incorrectly ruled out goal and getting it wrong. So sick of this game and this shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Regardless of today's individual decision, I think it's madness that careless or reckless challenges get rolled back just because VAR shows there was another incident earlier on. You can't perform some theatrics shaking your hands and roll back a player's injury. The cards should stand IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I'm so fed up of VAR bending over backwards to hand Manchester United points. It's a shit implementation of it to begin with and it's ruined football in the PL, but how it's always got a manchester united tilted favouritism is just not okay.

sne Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 The handball rule is as strange as always. Gibbs used both his hands to control the ball. Looked more like a brain fart than unintentional. No penalty of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so infuriating how they refuse to go against decisions even if it means blatant denial. According to the 2 commentators and ex-referee 'expert' it was fine because his hands were "in a natural position" and "not making him any bigger". My eyes disagree on both accounts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I have Swedish commentary but they kinda brushed it off as it was close to his body so didn't have time to react. For me it's a blatant penalty and it would 100% been a freekick had it happened outside the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I think the VAR would have deemed Silva’s little barge into the GK a foul which led to him flapping it and chose the easy option not to consider the handball 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This just makes it a potential missed foul on the GK and a blatant missed handball and pen. Makes them look even more incompetent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they like to just play on as they did after the ball was cleared; whereby the handball is effectively ruled out by the foul on the goalkeeper. If the ref gave the pen VAR would have ruled it out for foul so instead of stopping the game they just let it go no need to call it back for a WBA free kick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
