Pelle Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I celebrated to goal for a few seconds, but then I realised that it would go for a VAR check. Totally took away the good feeling and instead I got nervous. In the end they got it right, but you could see the players stop the celebrations standing togehter to wait for the decision to be made. And it was quite clear that he wasn't offside. Shouldn't take that long. It's a farce and is killing much of the joy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly how i predicted it would go. VAR sucks and is killing me love for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the same I couldn't even celebrate the goal as I knew was a chance it would be chalked off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 On the Firmino goal, isnt the linesman only supposed put his flag up after the play stops. Its a bit like the Lansbury VAR is shit but refs are as bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted November 4, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted November 4, 2019 That never, ever, ever is offside. Ever. I mean obviously I'm glad the officials got the micrometer out but had that been at the other end I'd be livid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a bit like the Lansbury VAR is shit but refs are as bad Refs = poor use of VAR Can we please stop having a go at technology that is clearly good for the game and should be implemented to fix bad decisions and major mistakes? It's the refs that are bad, taking 5 minutes to make a decision, drawing stupid lines where everybody saw that was or was not an offside. Let's use the bundesliga as an example of how it should work, but for that we need the PL and the FA to stop pleasuring themselves for how good their standard is. It is not good - go back to the meeting room, get some coffees in and don't come out until you fix it. It's their fault, not the technology.

Dr_Pangloss Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 The current implementation is not fit for purpose and it needs to be removed entirely until they can exercise common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Is there not an emergency meeting or anything yet to discuss VAR? Can't be far off. I imagine the Premier League chiefs can't be happy with it ruining their "product". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine the Premier League chiefs can't be happy with it ruining their "product". is it though? they stopped caring about the fans in the ground a long long time ago so them being a bit reserved during celebrations wont be a major concern, social media traits, news coverage blah blah blah I wonder how much that firmino offside got? I would guess a lot, job done then and I had to follow a chunk of the game on twitter, 78th minute people are still retweeting the picture of his armpit, it was really weird, almost made me think it was bots, it was a talking point during the game for a long time after it happened, never seen it like that before it does seem strange that the main impact of VAR seems to be chalking goals off, that's something id be surprised if they didn't want to change Edited November 4, 2019 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking points after every game day are VAR decisions. I don't think that's good for the PL brand from their perspective or of the football fans.

It should be the port of very infrequent call, its used far to much. There should be games where it is not used at all IMO. There are I suspect a large amount of people who like it in an X factor kind of way also though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it fills slots for discussion on places like Talk Sport, but I think even they are bored of it and could easily talk about something else. Even the horror broken leg yesterday gets spun as a VAR error for agreeing with the red card decision. Edited November 4, 2019 by Genie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted November 4, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted November 4, 2019 What gets me about the still image they show to decipher if a player is offside, you never see the player playing the pass or cross. How do we know that the image displayed with the calibration lines is actually the exact moment the ball was played? And not a split second difference to get the desired outcome? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
