Fifa Women's World Cup

I watch the MLS and they regularly use VAR to overturn the initial bad decision.

 

It would appear that VAR was asleep on the job today.

 

I think they need to introduce a challenge system similar to tennis to stop this kind of bias.

Depends entirely on whether the arm is above shoulder height or not. 

 

Is wording of the new law absurd? Yes. But referees and VAR can't make up their own laws, however absurd the new law is.

Alright Shaun, mind last year when Croatia pumped ye.

Nope, because it moves back towards her. 

This is trolling at its best when there is a video actually disproving the statement is on this very page.

That should be removed or plenty good honest decent Scotland and Hearts supporters are going to be getting bans and suspensions by lowering themselves by reacting to that. 

 

Job done by Mitty.

We all know the level to which Shaun is capable.

 

Sometimes, it's nice to see it plainly in black & white.

 

Agree 100% but we all know it's the innocents that get caught in the crossfire.

Bullshit, she's used her arm to control the ball and gain advantage imo.

That VAR didn't consider is a joke. 

 

It's a clear penalty 

 

Plenty comparisons

You wont find a better example of why VAR will not eradicate incorrect and inconsistent decisions in the game.    In Scotland,  VAR is much more likely to make things worse than to improve the game.

Meanwhile Scotland can still qualify with a win v Argentina. 

 

Too early to say but still possible. 

 

For us not to get through we'd have to do worse than Thailand (assuming they are as bad in their second) and South Korea?

We need most likely  teams to win all their games to have teams in third on 0-2 points.

 

Groups E and F though just played 1game

 I agree.

 

Unless we have non OF supporting people in charge of it.

 

If we have Scottish people doing our VAR, it will only ever benefit 2 teams.

It's likely to be set up as a blank cheque to be every bit as selective as everything else in Scottish football.     There will be enough going against both Old Firm teams for them and others to claim that they have been disadvantaged or that the system is working,   but overall it is highly likely to follow the pattern of Scottish football systems and processes.     That can be taken to the bank.

 Today's VAR team for the upcoming Hearts vs Rangers match is:

 

Barry Ferguson

Chick Young

and Rodderick Petrie

as clear a handball penalty as you are ever likely to see

even worse because since VAR was introduced at international level practically

every handball in the box has been given as a penalty even when totally accidental

or blasted from two yards away

just scrap VAR it's making things worse not better

It will be very interesting,   if introduced,   to see who does get the gig.     Current refs would make sense but current Scottish refs seems a bit like trying to put out a fire with petrol.    Same arseholes.

Didn’t want to start a separate thread but this incident got me thinking. What’s everyone’s favourite World Cup hand ball? I’m going to go for this:

Rightly lots of chat re the handball, less so on the foul on Cuthbert which was just as obvious a pen and VAR could have cleared up.

 

VAR or not, the ref should have seen both. She was truly awful. Embarrassingly out her depth

Where does the new law even mention that? It doesn't. QED.

 

As I keep repeating, do I think the new law is based on even 1% of common sense? No. The new law is crazy (much as, as we saw yesterday, the offside law is borderline crazy). But the law is the law is the law.

 

Meanwhile, Shelley Kerr's got herself a cushty gig, hasn't she? Screw the tactics up in both games. Be far too timid and far too passive in both games, only waking up when 2-0 down. Leave Scotland's best player against England on the bench today. And then have everyone blaming the ref instead of looking at her afterwards!

 

Remarkable.. 


I don't for a second believe the law has been so amended that it is permissible to control the ball and get away with it simply because you were drawing your arm into your body. 

 

Without the ref/VAR her tactics in both matches - to contain for 70 minutes before stepping it up, would have got a draw against 3rd & 7th ranked in the world.

Slim margins. She is an excellent coach and it is just as easy to argue that had her tactics been bolder early in these matches, Scotland may have exposed themselves to pacier opponents on the counter.

Well, actually, it's not VAR it's the cretins who view it, and make a decision, so really it's no different to having a ref on the park or in the VAR room. It's still down to some arseholes call. Believe me, that incident will have been looked at by the VAR officials, and deemed not worthy of the referees attention. It's all down to a judgement call. Only goal line tech is definite.

He’s clearly making his body (even) smaller there.

 

His second in that game was decent, but the first shades it for me.

Agree - it's got lost in the more outrageous error with the handball - but you're right, that was also clearly a penalty on the replays. Cuthbert was hurt in the incident and was complaining to the ref for several minutes afterwards.

Peter Shilton is clearly trying to impede Maradona by hauling his arm out of it's socket using ESP / remote viewing / voodoo.   Correct decision to allow the goal.    Shilton should have been sent off and arrested for assault.

It looks like he is moving his hand away from the ball so it's a good goal.

Bazzas right boot

VAR is far better than not having it. 

It never claimed to be perfect. 

 

What it should also do, over time is get rid of poor officials as they'll be highlighted more as well. If you get the original call wrong and keep reversing it more than the average you should get pulled for it, if you make the wrong decision even after the replays several times you should be made to look for a new job. 

 

 

More correct decisions and more  highlighting  and scrutiny of poor decisions is good imo. 

 

Not perfect but better than what we have just now.

Is he a Hearts fan? 

 

Gets involved in everything on here it seems but nothing directly involved with us. 

 

WC - slavering goon. 

European debates--slavering goon. 

Wwc- slavering goon. 

England stuff- slavering goon. 

 

Only thing directly Hearts related I can remember was his poundland psycho analysis of Craig Levein.

I wouldn't be surprised if VAR goes down with 'technical problems ' every time Collum referees.

You can only be acclaimed to be a master tactician if you are solid at the back. It's like a badge of honour for managers and coaches. Feck recognising that the defence is pap and that the best chance is to attack and go for goals.

I didn't see the game today as I was driving but Steven Thomson's (Radio Scotland) lack of knowledge as to how VAR IS MEANT to work was beyond unprofessional.

 

That said, if what has been said on here is true, which I don't doubt, then once again incompetence, towards corruption is at the fore on everything football tries to do.

Are you really that clued up to judge the women's team and the opposition.?

 

For starters, they are in a wc. That should be enough to avoid comparison with the mens. 

 

They have played the equivalent of Portugal and maybe Spain (not sure of rankings, cba checking) and got beat by a single goal. 

In the Premier tournament. 

 

 

The mens team beat Cyprus 2-1, in between shipping 6 goals v two team in qualifying. 

 

The situations are not even comparable and I'm not sure too many on here can judge the overall quality of the teams on show atm tbh and give an accurate tactical approach that should be taken in each game.

I was at the game, aged 17, My pal nearly got lifted for peeing up an alleyway, ran from a polis on a horse, when caught and asked why he denied urinating, but ran away anyway, he said "ah'm feart o' horses Constable." the polisman laughed and let him go. The Liverpool folk were great that night. Couldn't really see who's arm it was on the night, just glad to get the penalty. The Dalglish goal sent us into raptures, one of those nights that will stay with me forever.
