Moderators Casino Posted June 9, 2019 Moderators Share Posted June 9, 2019 The ball hit her hand All VAR did was confirm it If the ref sees it hit the hand, idoes she give a penalty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySanchez Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Funny how when refs make mistakes they are slated A player misses a simple open net, or even worse takes his shirt off after scoring a goal and gets booked for it, but nobody says a word despite them being paid far more Admit refs make mistakes. Players will miss open goals and let football be football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted June 10, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted June 10, 2019 That's a dog wank rule too. Bloke scores a goal and takes his shirt off. Hardly crime of the century. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter RONNIE PHILLIPS Posted June 10, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted June 10, 2019 Can't wait to see what they think up next to ruin the game. I can't help getting the impression that some refs are loving all the drama, giving them centre stage running to there little tellys. They are gradually taking away all the things that made the game so exciting. Taking away virtually any physical contact has turned it into a sport played by thespians & acrobats.

Hardly crime of the century. Oh aye I completely agree, but whilst it is an offence its probably one of the most stupidest yellow cards you can pick up. Think it was a West Ham player a few years back, already on a yellow, scores a later winner or equaliser and takes his shirt off and gets a second yellow. I'd be fuming if I was his manager I'd also scrap foul throw rules. What significant advantage are you gaining if the ball doesn't go fully behind your head or you haven't got two feet on the floor?

DazBob Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Wasn't it initally brought in to stop political statements? I don't think there's anything wrong with the rule. Anyone who feels the need to remove their shirt for scoring a goal fully deserves a yellow card for being a knob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's got a political slogan on then fair enough. Nowt wrong with a bit of passion, just allow the refs scope to use a bit of common sense. I do agree though, that if you're daft enough to get yourself sent off for doing it, then you need shoeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underpants Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share Posted July 7, 2019 Over time maybe the football World will adapt and accept VAR. But after watching the ladies disallowed goal against Sweden last night I think its going to be a very painful and long transition. Weighing up both sides of the argument I fall in the old school camp. I think I'm more willing to accept the injustice of a dodgy decision rather than the forensic justice that VAR brings. FVAR.

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted July 7, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted July 7, 2019 If VAR goes too far, which for me it already has done, and makes its way into games at our level, I’m not sure I could stand watching any more. Sure our home game against Wigan would have been a different outcome last year but I don’t like it 1 little bit. Goal line technology - sure. Shove the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underpants Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 Today VAR (spit) came to the Premier League (spit). Now I'm not a fan of VAR and we have had Shearer floating around saying it's a good thing and will only be used for clear & obvious errors. OK, but is this the thin end of the wedge? Is being offside by a toenail a clear and obvious error? Or is it valid because it's just upholding the laws of the game? We're never going to get a perfect game. But do we want to get as close as we can and erode the Wilbraham moments? #luddite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted August 11, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2019 Lineker made the point last night, if you're going to try to be so accurate, how do you decide when the ball was played? For a few frames the ball is on the player's foot, so it it when it first contacts the foot of when it leaves it? During that time the runner can have gone from being on to off. It's spoiling the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
