Ready after one of the international breaks apparently. Edited August 17 by jimmygreaves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post VillaChris Posted August 17 Popular Post Share Posted August 17 Sounds like Everton got done today. DCL got clipped in the box and penalty given. VAR then thinks there wasn't much contact so encourages the ref to go over to the monitor to re-judge. Only issue is VAR screen isn't working and a replay can't be displayed. Decision is still overturned on the advice of Stockley Park. THAT is something that really shouldn't be happening and winds fans up. If technology fails you stick with the on field decision. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PL have criticised "false reports" and state that there was a back up monitor just out of shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Apparently the VAR said that Cash won the ball but he didn't think he meant to. I mean wtf what a load of bollocks. It was never a pen. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishywashy Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 (edited) So there's an opportunity to genuinely change it and try and improve it and their two approaches have been to: Essentially make VAR a several minute waste of time by making the referee's decision essentially absolute (doing the absolute opposite of what needed to happen) Make a Twitter account whose sole purpose is to state what every single person watching the game sees (Referee blowed the whistle for a penalty, VAR didn't overturn) without any insights, explanation or genuinely anything of value I don't even think this has anything to do with VAR at this point: PGMOL is comically unfit for purpose.

villan95 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 The thing is it's not just the penalty they decide it's the whole momentum of the football match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I can just about accept that if the bar is meant to be high this season, there was some doubt around the Cash situation so stick with the onfield decision. What I CANT abide is making up this bullshit about Cash not trying to play the ball to back up the refs decision. Just say there wasn’t enough to overturn it, don’t start spouting bollocks to back the referee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted August 17 VT Supporter Share Posted August 17 The Everton one is scandalous. Dunk has slid, DCL puts his foot down where he expects grass to be and gets tripped because now dunk is there. It’s a foul on field, no idea what on earth they’re doing getting involved to overturn that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I’m not having today’s decision in our game at all. It lies somewhere between incompetence and corruption. Every single time that gets overturned because the defender gets something on it. Every time. It was a double fail as they not only decided it was a foul despite it never going that way before, but to say he didn’t attempt to play the ball is just ridiculous. I think it must be closer to corruption than incompetence, because the action and the decision don’t match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just use it properly But we already have bad decisions with VAR? May as well just remove that extra layer which only further frustrates fans and slows the game down. Would rather have one layer of subjectivity than two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
