Today’s Football 2019/20 Season

VAR benefitting them again...shocker

 

[nsno-chris]

You haven't got a clue.

They dont stop it when the ball is struck. It's stopped when they SAY the ball is struck. There's no science to this, the ball and player's boots dont have sensors.

FFS, get you're thinking cap on and then talk some sense.

Hahaha
Are you utterly mental, the game is stopped when the ball is struck

Or is this another tin foil hat moment you utter conspiracy theorist.

sake, it’s utter embarrassing listening to you sometimes

They’re booing Neto for what? Utter tools they Are

 

[ToffeeDan]

Aldo and Liddell vs Neto.

 

[Wayno]

I actually feel really angry at how they get away with everything and they’re smug fans think they have a divine right. Wonder how long I’d serve for kidnapping all 11 and klopp and sticking them in a remote island somewhere

Im actually happy it’s happening like this.

Would have been horrible that slip season, this season it’s just so far fetched.

Same with last season and the CL, City goal ruled out vs Spurs.

 

[Tubey]

but it’s happened all season to almost every team, so you know the decisions are consistent

if you remove it and then it becomes a judgement call for the ref at VAR and they give the RS a goal you’ll be kicking off again because it’s interpretation.

May least this it’s consistent and you know

They aren't consistent - they are inconclusive. The technology isn't using high enough resolution and stable lines to come to the decision.

Speaking of consistency, they give Lallana the goal for not interpreting the shoulder or bicep as "the arm" for some reason, yet they don't draw the line for that offside call from the tip of the shoulder despite it being the furthest body part to the right. That's the opposite of consistency - that's making it up as they go along.

Fair play wolves have had a go,but their hearts can't be in it now.

Aye?

 

[Khalekan]

It isn't offside though. The hand/arm doesn't count, it's the nearest part of the body that can legally play a ball that counts.

With that resolution, there's no way you can reliably rule that out via technology. There has to be an inconclusive option where the decision on the pitch stands, but they can't have that as it doesn't allow officials to rig the game with 'tight' calls.

That is what I always thought.

But either we were wrong all along or the rule has been changed to include all parts of the body....hands and all.

It is mad....particularly as the previous convention was that in the event of a tight call, the benefit of the doubt was to be given to the attacking player.

 

[Tubey]

It's the outstep/little toe that's a fraction in front of the RS defenders knee. That's what the blue line is trying to make out.

OK but what about the shoulder Lallana "legally" used for Liverpool's goal? Why is that suddenly null and void?

 

[Wayno]

Aye?

Aye.

Every single week without fail they get decisions, it’s not even subtle.

 

[Saint Domingo]

The money men have got exactly what they wanted. City upset them last year and too many people had their eye wiped. They’ve taken no chances from day one this time. Lots of tv execs, betting syndicates, super agents, etc. all very happy that there is no competition this year and even Liverpool’s own ineptitude can no longer result in dropped points for them.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Who came up with the armpit thing anyway

Like where has that come from??

How come only england has managed to make such an utter shambles of the var

no, seperate the Lallana incident from the very consistent offside calls virtually every week. The interpretation has caused the lallana goal, and you want those interpretation goals to be implemented with offsides as well??

marvellous, you’ll have even more conspiracy claims then

Ha Ha. Insults because you're lack of insight is on show for the forum to see.

You dont have a clue do you? Not one 'kin clue. You thought you'd show everyone how refreshingly unpartisan you were and ended up underlining you dont have the foggiest about how this system works...that it's arbitrary and not a science.

You're ludicrous.
