[Judas]

Go home VAR, you're drunk.

 

[Fully Fledged]

Who cares what the lines look like? It was offside.

BT showed that there was no clear offside. The benefit is supposed to go with the attacker.

 

[donkeyfish]

I'm a fan of VAR in principle, but that was a joke. Hope it doesn't affect the outcome.

 

[L1nk]

Use this as motivation to drive on and kill the game off in the second, don't go out playing how we were playing because we're just asking for trouble. Mentally, we better not fall apart more now.

 

[King.of.Red]

Hahahahaha... Hilarious VAR. and it was the moment I can smile beside Lukaku goal. Sigh.. I hate our 1st half performances

 

[SqueakyWeasel]

The company that does the VAR needs to talk to Rugby Union … Laughable how football think that are above this shit!

 

[Sid234]

Mata scores >Var decision - was offside


those lines though

That line showing Mata's position vs last defender is so off the mark. It's a straight line, but not one that is perpendicular to the sideline. It's like amateur hour

 

[Judas]

Anyway enough of VAR, let's talk about how shite McTominay and Young have been.

Young's assist for our 2nd goal was class.

 

[EyeInTheSky]

For some reason, I thought that the part of your body you can score with have to be offside? So if your fingernail is possibly offside then it should be play on

 

[AngliaRed]

Football is all about big decisions and getting luck and bad luck not waiting whilst 3 old blokes in London struggle with angles and knee caps!

 

[Dolf]

Technology will be right again - technically he's probably a baw hair off. Does anyone care though? Did we all enjoy the minute of nothing? The lack of explanation?

It's a shite idea, and the whole thought should be scrapped. It's a game played be humans, and judged by humans, and that#'s the end of it. This video shite is clearly a load of bollocks nobody wants.

Did you ask every single person on earth? Is that how it's so clear to you?

I understand everyone is mad because it was our goal but imagine if Huddersfield had scored the exact same goal in the 90th minute against us. It might take a minute but it makes the game more fair.

 

[Summit]

Looks onside to me.

Mata's knee is slightly ahread for me, but we are talking a rats dick.

 

[Catt]

It's the same level of organization. No shape or form, players clueless.

So what do we do?

 

[HankHill]

I think he was offside by millimetres, it was the knee.

This doesn't exactly give me much hope for the technology, though...

 

[AllezLesDiables]

Great call on the offsides. VAR probably needs a computer to draw the lines however

 

[diplomat]

We didn't deserve a second goal anyway, but this whole situation was embarrassing. Give VAR a time limit of 30 seconds maximum and go with the original decision if it can't be determined fast enough. A fecking disgrace that was.

 

[The Firestarter]

They better explain what the various lines & colors represent, this looks like a big mess.

 

[Acole9]

I never wanted VAR anyway, nor do I think it's needed. I understand they're trialling it but you would think it would be much slicker than what we're seeing. It just looks so amateurish.

 

[bleedred]

VAR ref must have drew those lines by hand.

While jerking off...seems like that

 

[kouroux]

If you're gonna use a video system, why the hell is there not a more sofisticated and accurate tool to draw straight and parallel lines ??

 

[Cheech Wizard]

Pisses me off they’re using this at this stage in the season in such a prestigious competition and they are just guessing with inconclusive technology. Completely ruined the flow and occasion in our game with West Brom.

 

[Hansa]

Both ourselves and the refs have been screwed by VAR.

 

[E-mal]

Are you actually reading the thread?

I am mate, while some may take their moaning about our play way over the top, in this game it is largely warranted.
Then you have folks coming in and telling them how how bad of a fan they are for stating the obvious, every criticism is agender seeking according to them.

 

[Adam-Utd]

They genuinely used lines drawn using MS paint in an FA cup match.

The lines weren't even correct, they weren't flowing correctly with the offset of the camera.

That is an actually scandalous decision, if we don't win this the game should be replayed IMO

Whatever happened to an "OBVIOUSLY INCORRECT DECISION"

WHY ARE THEY NOT ASKING THEIR FECKING REF IN A BOX LIKE THEY DID 1000X WITH THE SMALLING HAND BALL

aarhsarhahshhgshghsafhashfhaf.

 

[JG3001]

Every time VAR is used it looks bollocks.

People seem to blame VAR as if it it were a person.

It was created by people, for usage by people. Don’t blame the machine, blame the people using it.

I still think it’s being made to purposely look crap in all honesty. I think Mata was just off, but those MS paint lines on the screen were embarrassing, surely they’ve got a proper system in place to draw parallel lines across the pitch.

 

[OldTrevil]

That was a very boring half bar the goal and the last 5 minutes

 

[dwd]

Seriously how the hell is that one line wobbly? Looks like it was done in MS Paint as a pisstake

 

[MacabbiUnited]

Wow he was 1 milimeter offside, thank god for VAR ha?

Shit idea. Ruins football.

 

[Sassy Colin]

Didn't notice that, just that Pogba was playing.

Well, Bailly was supposed to be back, or something.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Looks onside to me.

Yep. It looks level to me.

 

[NotoriousISSY]

VAR has been implemented so badly that it needs to be revoked immediately.

So far it’s conclusive that VAR has not helped - it’s merely added to the stresses of refereeing.

The principle is fine, but the system we have is simply shit.

 

[Thiim]

God save the queen That's some quality British technology. Are you fecking kidding me? Mata's knee was aligned with the defender's knee. Holy fecking shit. Are they going to be looking at a molecular level next? That was way to close to overrule the goal. What happened with striker gets the benefit in tight situations? What a farce.

 

[Canucantona20]

he was offside

 

[Android1974]

Of course, with this result, Mourinho won't do any sub immediately, but Lingard on for Matić, allowing some rest, would help us, I think.

 

[Paul the Wolf]

Mata looked onside to me, getting pictures of lines that aren't parallel - what the hell's going on.
If this VAR is so amateurish they can't stick it, part from the ridiculous delay

 

[Tincanalley]

That line showing Mata's position vs last defender is so off the mark. It's a straight line, but not one that is perpendicular to the sideline. It's like amateur hour

Absolutely- it should be parallel to the box

 

[redshaw]

Typical when United goal gets looked out the wonky etchasketch lines come out.

 

[roonster09]

I think he was offside by millimetres, it was the knee.

This doesn't exactly give me much hope for the technology, though...

Those lines are not even parallel to grass cut lines and penalty box line

 

[GifLord]

@GifLord a video of those lines possible?

 

[Android1974]

How come last decision was not reviewed? That Matic goal.

I didn't even catch the replay.

 

[Brightonian]

They better explain what the various lines & colors represent, this looks like a big mess.

They represent that someone gave their iPad to their kid to play with.

 

[Catt]

Pisses me off they’re using this at this stage in the season in such a prestigious competition and they are just guessing with inconclusive technology. Completely ruined the flow and occasion in our game with West Brom.

VAR doesn't look good so far.

 

[Fully Fledged]

A line has to be straight doesn't it?

That was a squiggle.
