V.A.R. - Good for Purpose??

[The Bear]

He wasn't offside!!

 

[YoungWolf]

The left back looks like he is playing him on but it's close, close enough for VAR to find a way...

(The more I look at it the more onside he gets though!)

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Never off



Just look at the pitch line. The LB is playing him on

 

[Johnny75]

It looked like the type of offside where Raul's armpit is offside so probably would have been ruled out I think. Fucking close though and shit from the officials all round.

Not even close the lines on the pitch show the LB at least a yard goalside of Raul.

 

[sycophantia]

Only saw it on motd but seemed comfortably onside to me, doesn't really matter though, it was just the lino put his flag up too early, ref blew too soon, before the ball crossed the goal line so goal couldn't have stood, Bournemouth had clearly stopped playing......just two individual fuck ups, nothing VAR could have done.

Never offside in a million years

VAR is ok...ish.

Our refs can do one

 

[YoungWolf]

Yeah it really is clearly onside actually isn’t it. As said, useless from the officials

 

[Parkins left foot]

Flag & whistle went far too quickly - would the keeper have saved it if the whistle hadn't gone, unknowable.

The oficials should have let it run then checked it with VAR

I was very concerned about VAR from day one and I've seen nothing to change my mind. It's essentially trying to impose perfection on something that is only beautiful because of it's imperfections. We'd all love to see 100% correct decision making but you'll never get that as long as humans are involved. Even if 100% correct decisions were possible, if the price is delayed or non-existent goal celebrations and lengthy delays then it's not worth it.

You are entitled to think this about VAR but not in this particular incident. It was the two officials, Simon Beck and Simon Hooper who made a huge mistake here, not VAR. This is the second major error that Beck has made. The other was when he failed to give Milner offside against West Ham when Liverpool scored a goal for which he was dutifully demoted. He will be again for this major error, Hooper should also be demoted for not applying the VAR instructions about letting close calls play on and have VAR check them after the fact. Had that happened, we would have seen VAR award the goal to Wolves, because Raul was clearly onside.

Every week the officials or premier league put out a statement about VAR decision.

Nothing about this monumental fuck up by the 2 fuckwits

 

[Monstrum]

remember when last thing happened vs spurs last season (raul goal) and everyone wrote "oh yes horrible decision, but dont worry, that can never happen next year when we have VAR".
so basically, not only is the exact same thing happening and we are getting screwed, but we are getting extra screwed from all those ridiculous VAR decisions too. Id be fucking furious if we lost 2 points here.

It was nothing to do with VAR.

You do surprise me

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

Agreed but it was still a monumental fuck up by 2 officials

 

[Dinowolf]

I've watched the replay over and again and I am convinced the lino flags Jota for offside.

I know it doesn't make any difference to the outcome, but you can see how bad a decision it was. He didn't re-act to Jiminez and moved his position down the line to Jota's position and only flagged when Jota got the ball.

The unforgivable mistake though was the ref blowing up so quickly, because if he hadn't then it could have been referred to VAR. Although the goalie's natural reaction was to try and save the shot, the whistle went just as the shot was made.

Thankfully it didn't cost us any points, just a +1 in the goals column.

 

[StuardoWulf]

Durham ranting about this yesterday afternoon.

Most lino's don't flag cus that the directions they're given, but this is wolves. If these decisions even themselves out over the season we'll be in the top four.

Just seen Southampton's equaliser. Rank incompetence
