      So VAR (and GLT) has gone for the WCQ, and we see the consequences.

      Goals given for offside and ruled out for being onside.
      Goals not given that are cleared beyond the goalline.
      Penalties not given for clear and obvious fouls by defenders.

      In short, madness and mayhem. It's embarrassing in this day and age to watch the World Cup, the highest level of the game, officiated as if it was a Sunday league game with nothing at stake.

      The way the worlds gone, politically correct, everything’s got to be perfect and perfect doesn’t exist.

      It's not about perfection. It's about justice.

      This is the World Cup, the highest level of football. So if you want to play in your preferred stadium, either the stadium is fully equipped for teams to play there or you find an alternative venue to host the game. In most nations, finding a suitable venue with technology is not a problem, so it's no excuse for other associations to claim that VAR is "too expensive". A wrong decision could cost you a place at the World Cup for at least the next 4 years. That means coaches, CEO's, association staff have to be hired/replaced, revenue will be lost, your domestic game will suffer at all levels. That's going to be far more expensive in the long run, than a one off investment in GLT and VAR.

      The Ataturk hosted Turkey v Holland last week. Looking at the general condition of the stadium itself, as well as Michael Oliver trying to accurately judge disputed penalty calls and if the ball crossed the line from 15-20 yards away, made it almost seem unbelievable that this stadium is supposed to hold the European Cup Final in just a few weeks time.

      This is what happens when we go back to the dark ages and VAR is gone. Chaos, Controversy, Conspiracy, Mayhem, Madness, where players and managers don't accept mistakes and human error, not should they. In 2021, deciding who does and doesn't qualify for the World Cup Finals should be a matter of accuracy, not a matter of guesswork.

      Best bump this back up after the almost obligatory
      Var decision against us.
      Not gonna dwell on ours we've all seen the shambles time & time again
      Citeh v Leeds the sending off, you watch it and a few years ago it's not even a yellow. Enter var and coote at the helm,
      " it's a red, the Leeds player has played the ball & the stupid tw*t hasn't allowed for the fact he can't alter the laws of physics and doesn't stop after he made contact with the ball, he grazed citeh player and he milked the F**k out of it. To prove it here it is in slow mo from a really incriminating angle"

      Life is all about angles & vision that's why we're all different

      I think thiago had a worse challenge on him from Watkins that went over the ball into the shin

      Var should never be judged by a sleve, that just ridiculous. Whatever happened to giving the attacker the advantage?
      How can you be sure someone is millimetres offside by using lines that are at least 3-4 inches thick?

      Ok, if it is about justice where was the justice in yesterday's decision. 
      Absolute disgraceful decision.

      That's a very good point OR. On the eye it looks onside and at worse level. With this so called new technology they could put the lines millimetres out and to the naked eye we're none the wiser. I do question the integrity of the officials sometimes with these things.  :f_steam:

      It was offside albeit by a hairs width so it's the correct decision  :lmao:

      It really wasn't though. Look how the line for the defender is straight, then look how the line for Jota is angled to ensure offside is given.

      Awful decision yesterday and it feels like we get a lot of these ones go against us. I’ve watched it back about twenty times and I still don’t understand or see why it’s offside.

      I’d rather they bin VAR as football was certainly much more enjoyable before it came in, but presuming it stays then they need to address the offsides immediately. If it takes the VAR team several minutes to draw lines then it’s fairly simple for me, they’re on side.

      They’re doing it the wrong way round in opinion. They look for a body part of the attacker to be ahead of the defender and if so then they’re offside. But they should change it round to any part of the attackers body is level with the defender then they’re on side and it would be much easier for everybody.

      Thought the red card for leeds was a joke yesterday too. We all know that side of the game went out ten or fifteen years ago but that was never a red. Wasn’t even a booking not that long ago. And it wasn’t even a foul not long before that!

      As a side to the VAR system itself, a lot of the fault lies with the officials using it.

      Just seen a clip of the Burnley game just now and Tarkowski practically kicked a Newcastle player in the head to clear the ball and no penalty? Don't understand it. The Leeds red yesterday as well was a poor call, the challenge on Thiago (can't remember who by) was far worse.

      Even if they make a decision regarding offsides, VAR will always be fu**ed until the standard of refereeing gets better.

      They introduced var to reduce mistakes by human error, all they've done is introduced a new system for additional human error.

      Exactly.

      At least before you could say 'ah well he only had one look at it', now they get 20 replays and still make the wrong F***ing call!

      VAR strikes again, spud v manure dear oh dear, Roy Keane summed it up perfectly for me " if that's a foul we'd might as well pack up and go home "
      The PGMOL even come from under their rock to explain the decision as an unnatural movement, a bit like Son trying to rip his tit off then

      It’s actually quite sad how much it, or the people running it, are destroying football.

      Just get rid, the refs on their own with their cock eyes made less mistakes than this ‘technology’

      How fkn quick was the check in the West Ham game? 10 seconds?

      Yet they took about 2-3 minutes to get the lines the perfect way they needed to be for them, to make sure it was offside, when we scored!!!!

      I was hugely in favour of VAR when it was introduced to the football world.

      I'm still in favour of it but with major changes.

      The biggest change must be:

      • No normal refs doing it. We must have proper people trained and doing only VAR.

      Then:

      • Open mic to hear what they are discussing.
        Better all round camera.
        Better rules which do not change mid-season.

      If not improved, scrap it. It's killing the buzz and excitement of football.

      As far as offside goes if should be the initial line they draw.. If the player is CLEARLY in front of the last defender rule the goal out, if you need to start using lines up the players armpits and secondary lines that's where the whole thing has become farcical. I think it should be judged on the players feet, it's the only fair way to use VAR

      Definitely should be judged by players feet and referees growing some balls.

      It is not that easy. Imagine a flying header with legs after a defender.

      It must be done from the middle of the chest of the player.
