The Kop / Re: Is English officiating corrupt?
« Last post by srslfc on Today at 07:57:34 pm »The (main) reason VAR operators find it so difficult to correct an error is because the parameters of what constitutes an offence are opaque and open to interpretation ( ignoring offside, which is technology dependant). Fan's on the other hand believe whatever benefits their side(regardless of the evidence).
My point is there isn't (and can't be) an agreed on definition of a mistake, outside of the blatantly obvious, and blatantly obvious mistakes will by and large be quickly identified and remedied.
I think you make a fair point.
There's lots of decisions in football that cannot be 100% agreed on and as you say more often than not you are blinkered by if it's your team or not.
That's why I'd be in favour of simplifying some of the rules of possible to take away an element of doubt. Like the clear man ahead for offside that has been mentioned.
Handball needs to be made more simple as well.
Then maybe VAR has a chance
