I just think a lot of people are ignoring the offside flag. There's been far worse calls this year. Yeah agree with that as bad as that offside is it’s something we’ve seen in about 3 of our games let alone anyone else’s, it’s one of the most consistent decisions in the league no matter how much fans don’t like it so it’s not actually bad or controversial anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 He’s offside by about an inch. Why the heck would VAR overturn the call on the field? There are so many reasons to hate the PL version of VAR, but not overturning a correct call isn’t one of them, surely? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I didn't think the VAR refs knew their arse from their elbow but tonight I was gladly proved wrong. What bothers me more is how the rules change mid-season, surely the powers-that-be have watched enough football to decide before the season starts what should count as handball, offside, interfering with play etc. Not VAR related but they're throwing in concussion substitutes next week, which with football being the sport where cheats prosper the most I can see getting abused and be chaos.

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. What if in checking for either you notice someone is offside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Still not comfortable with mm offsides, but in terms of consistency there was nothing wrong with either decision tonight. Ball comes of Cash's thigh to his hand, that's legal according to them. Ings offside by an asscheek hair, that's also offside as Ollie Watkins found out at least twice this season.

ThunderPower_14 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 The call was offside on the field so it didn't change the result but it somehow feels worse because of the VAR bullshit lines confirmation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xhaka didn't react, which I think is a sad state of affairs. They shouldn't have to be playacting for all of this. All that being said, if he's not in a Man U kit, that would have been a red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilbertoAVFC Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I guess maybe the guy coming onside from the first phase of the attack? But looks like Konsa would be playing him miles on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Yeah you can see Ings coming back with Mings holding his arm up asking for offside, not sure why the linesman flagged so late under the circumstances though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_avfc Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Yeah Ings was offside here coming back initially. I guess it’s part of the confusion that comes from asking linesmen not to flag for anything until the attacking phase is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Zen Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I reflected on why I initially liked VAR but now absolutely hate it. I think part of it has to do with how shit the PL is implementing it, and how terrible PL referees are, but I also think it’s because my only previous experience with VAR was as a neutral. Watching football as a fan is very different, and it’s that experience that VAR totally effs up for me. I could live with the breaks if VAR ensured you got fair and common sense decisions, but now it’s just making football worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 VAR's crime in that penalty/red card decision was giving more time to Mike Dean to conjure up some silliness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
