CJGJ Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 Now we have another VAR decision to be made as to whether an offence was inside or outside the box..given as inside so a penalty to Spurs However what a nonsense as it now depends when a foul is noticed by the officials....it basically means that if he does not blow straight away and the offence continues into the box then the ref can blow and give a decision which might have differed from the decision had he seen it at first or taken action at first sight Then penalty scored but disallowed !!! ..player judged as fainting in the run up so 'goal' disallowed..what a nonsense as you see it all the time and worse fans are unaware of the reason as to why it was disallowed...it is a farce and needs to be fixed Goal Rochdale and 1-1 !!!!!!!!!!...but again come back in 5 mins to make sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballfirst Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I thought that VAR was supposed to be to correct clear and obvious errors by the officials. The "foul" at the first goal, in my opinion, was not a clear and obvious error, so the VAR official should not have got involved. I'm actually glad to see a ref actually apply the letter of the law on run-ups to a penalty. Son clearly stopped, rather than slowed down, so I think the ref was correct on this occasion. It was not a VAR issue though. If the VAR official is looking for a reason not to give a goal every time a goal is scored then it is plain daft. Will he look for encroachment at every penalty now?

Automatically reviewed when there's a goal as well. For me VAR is a good thing - they need to change how it's used tho to be a bit more like how it's used in rugby. Huge screens, crowd can hear what the ref has questioned, can see the clips viewed by the VAR refs, can hear the logical reasoning of the decision made.

Ibrahim Tall Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 VAR is a car crash, seems to completely remove any sense of self confidence and assurance in referees. You're a referee, you're job is to make decisions so make them. It's only meant to be used in 'emergencies' where you're not sure etc not at every possible opportunity.
