Technology and Football

[Freddeno]

I dont know, im for and against atm..do we really need this?

 

[Johnny75]

How do people feel VAR is working after a few games?

Specifically, are decisions correct and does the delay impact the game?

The technology works. The delays in the game are simply down to the PGMOL being utter buffoons. They need to follow the lead of rugby in regards to this and communication with the crowd. People are making it more difficult than it needs to be. Unnecessarily so.

 

[Tredman]

It does help in Rugby that you have massive screens to show the thought process (when it's used), plus a lot of the fans in the ground will have reflink so will be able to follow the process.

 

[Tony Towner]

I'm against VAR, but if it does come in permanently then I'd like to see a review system. Each side gets 2 per game and only loses one if they are proven incorrect. With some form of penalty / fine for frivolous ones which are used to time waste / take momentum out of the game.

Given the shambles of Brexit today the Premier a league have seen fit to sneak this in for next season:

Well as it's happened now - I'd much rather have had our goal against Spurs rather than it being a "talking point" in the pub afterwards, thanks all the same.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

We'd have our penalty at Brighton as well. Winning

 

[Sniffer]

Still on the government theme - you give with one hand and you take away with the other - Boly vs City.

I heard a referee on the radio (a Wolves fan) who said that Boly's goal should stand according the laws of the game because it was an involuntary action.

Offside wasn't it. Doc messed up his free header from six yards out and inadvertently flicked it on to Boly. No goal before it even reaches him.

So what we are saying is, we want football to be fair so we will introduce tv replays to make it fairer however there are differences in how the rules can be interpreted so all we will have done is slow the game down? Aces.

I still contest he even touched it. Unless it grazed one of his hairs.

I don't think doc touched it. I think he properly messed up and missed his free header!

The PL have gone against the laws of the game on this after the Koscielny one a couple of years ago and said that a ball that inadvertently goes in off the hand/arm making a material difference should be disallowed.

Yeah the Doc flick ends the debate on the goal.
The Boly goal got the Prem refs in trouble as it came out that they have been instructed to disallow any goal scored with the hand, deliberate or not which is against the actual rules of the game.

What are we so far. 2-1 down on incidents that would be looked at?

Got away with - Boly goal
Denied - Penalty shout at Brighton with the score 0-0
Denied - Raul's goal v Spurs which would have made the score 2-1 in the 1st half

The usual ref watch candidates Clattenburg/Gallagher tended to give Silva's tripping over his own feet as a penalty.

I reckon so, there's a potential call for a pen on Jota at Leicester but not sure they would have looked at it.

Three incidents in 12 games, so let's say 10 in a season, two minutes a time. I'm sure everyone can deal with 20 minutes of disruption in nine months if we get the right calls. I don't think there's any way we don't beat Brighton if we score first, so that's three points there. Knock off a point vs City (where we all thought we'd lose anyway) and who knows vs Spurs, it would have changed the game for sure.

Jota was fouled in the area v West Ham as well

I might need to see a replay of the incident you're referring to but there was at least one time when he went down in the box to draw a pen but to me looked like a really bad dive.

Just inside the area on the left. Defender took the player first then the ball. From the refs view point it looked a good challenge, it was only the replay that showed it was a foul. I doubt VAR would have done anything.
