Match officials seem to be making more mistakes at the moment, think they need to knuckle down and concentrate on their jobs again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Match officials seem to be as confused as us lot.....it was already a tough job which has been made tougher with VAR, not easier. Just scrap it and give us our football back please. That decision in the Albion game isn't a difficult one to get right to be fair. Its a good case for why the officials don't put their flag up until the move has ended. Why on earth the flag went up when it did is the main issue here along with why play wasn't called back once the flag did go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not difficult but match officials have so many rules and processes to consider now it seems to be having a detrimental impact on their ability to get the basics right.

ThunderPower_14 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 The play absolutely has to stop when the flag goes up. It's the same as a whistle in my mind in that it's a clear indication from an official that an infringement has occurred. If players aren't expected to react to a flag going up, then they absolutely shouldn't be flagging for offside under any circumstances. Just let it play out and go to VAR. Another stupid side affect of the current implementation of VAR. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone other than Liverpool fans really think this should have been ruled out? Absolutely ridiculous. Said it before but these mm offside calls are just so against common sense, what advantage is he gaining there? I'd like to see a certain distance (5cms or so?) introduced for "leeway", on the shoulder attackers are getting **** over at the moment and I don't think anybody wants to see it.

ThunderPower_14 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Just seeing those lines under any circumstances makes me angry now. They're a load of shit. Get rid of them and eyeball it, if you can't clearly see it's offside, play on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Some weeks it's against us, some weeks it's in our favour, but every week it's ruining the game. **** the new offside rule, **** the new handball rule. **** IFAB, **** PGMOL. **** VAR. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it's that tight, I think you just go with the on field call. Sometimes it'll be flagged, sometimes it won't. Drawing lines to decide whether an arse cheek or shirt sleeve is further forward is **** ridiculous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Offsides shouldn't be in VAR. Penalties and red card situations and the ref have to run out and check those himself. Will still be wrong decisions but would improve it a bit for me. And flag for offside directly when you see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The on field call was no pen and offside. Now, in my opinion, I don't think that's ever offside as he's 99.9% level, but on field it was given offside and anyways for consistency it has to be offside given what's ruled been ruled against Watkins earlier on.

S-Platt Posted January 30, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 30, 2021 It's still a joke but I am happy tonight but as was said no VAR the lino flagged so we still would have won. I have been discussing VAR again this week with a mate and we both came up with that when it comes to lines on the pitch the whole ball has to cross the line. See hawkeye and where corners are taken from these days. So if you are drawing lines for offside then I think it's only fair the same rules apply if its obvious then it's offside if its not then they are sharing the line so it onside.

I just think a lot of people are ignoring the offside flag. There's been far worse calls this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
