The Chelsea fans were happy to take the decision but they'd be under no illusions that it should've stood. We're delighted that Baggio won a penalty in 1998 but we all know he was fouled outside the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also blame VAR for handballs, which isn't right as normally the rules have been applied. The rules however, are bonkers. Two big ones for me since the restart: Sheffield Utd goal V Aston Villa - Utd scored but the goal line tech didn't tell the ref. How didn't the ref or a lino see the keeper hold the ball and rest it against the back of the post? Why didn't VAR even look at it? West Ham v Chelsea - Souceks opening goal chopped off after a 3 and a half minute VAR review. Antonio (or his head) deemed to be offside whilst lying on the grass. He didn't touch the ball but he was deemed to have been blocking the keepers line of sight. He was lying on the ground ffs, he wasn't blocking anyone's view. Both awful decisions and both down to the decision makers rather than the technology. Tbf, I agreed with the Soucek one...but not for the keepers line of sight. He obstructed Azpilicueta's ability to try and block the ball as he had to lift his foot over Antonio who was offside albeit unfortunately.

You might have a small point there, although I don't think there was even a single pundit out there that thought like that. Most expressed dismay. It wasn't why it was disallowed either.

Foul started outside and continued into the box, therefore when Fulton was forced down, penalty was the correct decision. Absolutely stonewall.

CJGJ Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 https://www.metro.us/fifa-asks-tech-firms/ Reuters) – FIFA has asked technology companies to develop ways to improve visuals to help its officials with close video assistant referee (VAR) decisions on offsides, the global soccer governing body said on Tuesday. The current system, which involves the use of dotted lines to determine whether a player is offside, has come under fire following a string of controversial calls in Europe’s top leagues. In a bid to improve the system, FIFA said companies would be provided with “anonymised datasets” of offside decisions based on which they should present possible solutions. FIFA also said that three technology providers have expressed an interest in developing semi-automated technology to improve the review process for offside incidents. “The aim of this development phase is to further improve the algorithms of the systems based on a collection of datasets from hundreds of different offside incidents,” the governing body said. FIFA also said it discussed the development of the VAR “light” concept, which aims to create more affordable technology which can be implemented at all levels of the game.
