Malinga the Swinga Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Tremendous decision in Chelsea game to disallow West Ham equaliser in injury time. VAR is a good system but the referees and officials who are implementing it are an absolute disgrace. Mendy arses up regulation save, fumbles ball out and then decided to pretend he was hurt to cover his mistake. As for Man City, they want to dump Foden and get proper player on to replace him.

Imagine the carnage that's going to ensue when it's released in Scotland with our hard-working, honest and impartial refereeing fraternity getting their grubby mitts on it. I can see myself giving up on going to games if we start having all kinds of VAR stoppages and goals overturned for 2mm of a player's sleeve being offside or a foul the ref missed a minute before in a 'passage of play'. It will be interesting to see how we implement it. Tackles like the Aberdeen guy on Ross County player should result in red, but if we have Collum, Dallas and friends running it, then all you can be sure is that it will be a total mess.

HMFC01 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Brendan Rodgers heading for the sack by looks of it. I mentioned yesterday about Postecoglou maybe a candidate for the EPL at some point. @Pasquale for King you mentioned Leicester as a slight joke. Looks like he could be the first manager sacked. Early days yet but the statistical for Claudio Ranieri was similar in defeats before the sack they mentioned. Losing Schmeichel is part of their problem but they've always conceded lots of goals due to the playing style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taffin Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I was quite for VAR. Now I'm really against it. Goal disallowed for an extremely soft bit of contact yet earlier in the season it wasn't used for pulling a guy to the ground by his hair. It's got to be consistent, and it isn't. Hopefully they ditch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malinga the Swinga Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Arsenal score but hold on, VAR official realises it's at Man Utd and invents another reason to disallow.

Cruyff Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 The problem with VAR is that there was never a clear definition of what it should be used for. Personally I think it should be used for offsides and nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like cricket or tennis for example - particularly with offside. Can’t be to difficult to create some software that determines offside without a ref taking 4 mins to do so.
