Dr. Gonzo 8,190 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I’m not one to wish injury on anyone, so instead I just hope Pickford and Richarlison have mental health issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a fucking goal. Like it or not it's not a goal. In the same way if you handball accidentally in the penalty area it's a penalty. I don't have to like it. It's still the rules. Thats not var's fault or the referees fault. It's a rule that maybe needs to be looked at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it’s fucking stupid and football was never meant to be judged like this. For me, VAR was originally meant to assist with massive issues of offside when it was clear and obvious. If you can’t look at a still for 5 m/10 seconds and can’t judge, then for me it’s too close to call and you should move on. Defenders are getting away with it, whilst attackers are effectively being punished. It’s wrong on every level and does make a mockery of the game. However, it’s the rules and referees at fault, not the actual technology of VAR. I’ll keep saying this over and over again. Don’t get rid of VAR, get rid of the fucking stupid way in which it’s being used. Its not even the referees fault. Before var it would have been given. Now with var it isn't. Perhaps some kind of tolerance rule needs to be bought in. However that could cause more problems. In ten years no one will care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got the offside rule wrong, which @Cicero pointed out. You came in here saying some ludicrous shite, and have now piggybacked on to other members who have actually made decent arguments. I said I meant shoulder and said elbow by mistake @Cicerogot a quote from wikipedia which proves your shoulder can be offside. You haven't made any good arguments all you have done is stamped your foot and said I dont like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should come out and explain the maths behind it so people understand it better rather than let pundits who dont understand it explain it. Mark Chapman is the only pundit who seems to get it. I did see a video one where a maths student explained it abit so I'm sure they could The level of discourse around VAR in general is absolutely shocking. People repeatedly spout falsehoods about players being given offside because of hands/arms and go unchallenged. After every game, social media is filled with 2D images where a player "doesn't look offside" and this is considered conclusive evidence over calculated parallel lines which make perspective a non-issue. Some people don't understand the tech/process, but some people are luddites who will never accept it. There are a lot of those in football, both as supporters and pundits I do think an explainer would help some, but it would require a) people to challenge their preconceived notions and b) the football authorities to embrace transparency and accountability. Neither of those are happening to a meaningful extent any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo 8,190 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 If there’s angles that show he’s offside, they should fucking show us those angles then. Not just show us a frame where he looks onside and say “well he’s not.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Gonzo 8,190 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 And please, defenders of VAR explain why Pickford’s foul after the offside was reviewed for a penalty (correctly not given), but didn’t review for a red card (which is absurd).

You say it’s scientific, but not once has the process in the decision making her explained to anybody. We go on angles that we are shown, with no explanation to decisions that look ridiculous. “level of discourse” I don’t know how you can expect us to trust the “experts” when they are the ones that give Man Utd a penalty after the full time whistle, yet won’t do anything about that red card offence from Pickford “because the whistle was blown for offside”. Fuck that, I don’t trust any of these clowns, they make shit house decisions on the regular and don’t have to take any accountability for any of them.

The fact is though as I said before even if we had a super computer that never made mistakes referee the game people would still moan. I mean the people who complain about a decision being given offside when it was only a few millimetres would no doubt moan if a goal was given against them and the opposition team was 2 millimetres offside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverted 1,776 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Surely there's a case for Pickford to be retroactively banned if the foul was never even considered? Not sure what the point would be though, that would just be a further reward to Everton on top of the Van Dijk injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why do some other countries have better officials on the whole than us? VAR exists because they can’t be trusted, though. And when VAR does what it does today, VAR exists to really only highlight that they shouldn’t be trusted in England because they can’t even get the decisions right with replays (based off what they’re showing us). And I’m not going to trust that they’re going off more than what they’re showing us, because after the he absolute shitshow we saw last season with VAR... it is in their interests to be transparent as fuck. But they aren’t, so I’m not going to believe they aren’t showing us to best angles they’ve got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFCMadLad 2,080 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 People understand that i millimetre is offside and that maths and shit like that is used to come to that decision. Im saying it SHOULDNT be. Its totally ruining the game. Also, as people have said.. they can tell us anything they want saying maths was used and that basically we should ignore what is shown on the screen to millions of people. Currupt fuckheads the lot of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
