Proceeds by providing a picture that shows why it isn't a red.This is why it's a red, you can't fly in with with a stretched leg and studs showing like this even if you get the ball.

the moment i saw the replay starting with the impact i knew it would be a red.2 questions need to be asked of Marriner.
Why did he intervene when the referee had already seen it and given a card?
Why did he edit the video to start after the bit where Casemiro won the ball?
You do realise that picture shows exactly why it ISN'T a red right?This is why it's a red, you can't fly in with with a stretched leg and studs showing like this even if you get the ball.
It felt like when VAR was first brought in, there were more instances of referees being shown multiple angles and being left to make their own decision.Dunno about bent. It’s just one of the many reasons VAR is so shit. The video ref will inevitably make the onfield ref focus on the bit of the footage that looks most egregious because they’re trying to justify their decision to undermine his onfield decision, as quickly as possible. They can’t/won’t take the time necessary to show the ref all the different angles and talk through how to best interpret what happened. Because football is all about fast paced non-stop action and VAR time outs have already slowed the game down far too much. No chance of slowing it even further to use it properly.
Football as a sport was never suited to all this bollox being landed on it. So the absurdity of VAR in action is really just the inevitable consequence of human nature and unnecessary technology combined. VAR is the issue here. Not corruption.
As per my last post, what you describe would be the only correct way to implement VAR but is anathema to a fast paced, non-stop sport like football. VAR has already sucked a lot of what makes football a great sport out of the game. Forcing even more lengthy VAR stoppages is just not acceptable at any level. The only sensible solution is ditching the technology. We tried it. It didn’t improve football. Doesn’t suit the game. Ditch it. Move on.Var needs to be TMO’d as in given a check list for red card offences, mitigating circumstances etc, today’s Casemiro challenge, got the ball tick, got the players leg did the ball change the direction of his tackle follow through yes that’s the mitigating circumstances, yellow card, same ref yesterday on the foul on felix ball no, bad challenge yes and mitigating circumstances no, red card, but one of these challenges didn’t even get a yellow.
Is this a joke ? Incompetency gets rewarded in this league, my man, not punished.Will Taylor be demoted after his shambolic performance today?
And that was changed because VAR was slowing the game down too much. Which it was. And in the absence of mic’d up dialogue the fans/media were still getting furious about multiple VAR decisions each weekend. So they tried to make it less obtrusive. And here we are. It’s an unsolvable problem.It felt like when VAR was first brought in, there were more instances of referees being shown multiple angles and being left to make their own decision.
The current state of things where the VAR's job is basically to "sell" the on field referee the decision he has made is an abomination, but it's an issue of implementation rather than an inherent problem with VAR as an idea.
In most cases I don't think that the game was being slowed down much more than it is now. The only difference is that the time is being used for the VAR to cherry pick angles and exact milliseconds of action to do the best sell job for the decision they've already made, rather than just sending the ref straight to the screen and let him see everything.And that was changed because VAR was slowing the game down too much.

Same thing I said about the Bruno penalty. Going by the logic they used for Casemiro, that should have been a pen too.What sbout KWP’s tackle on Garnacho. He took the ball, but he followed through with his other leg creating a scissor tackle. Should have been looked at the very least.
They should be made to retire, like the ref in the Arsenal game a few weeks backAnthony Taylor and Andre Marriner to the fecking gulag.
Or, you know, stick with the onfield decision and can VAR. Because it clearly isn’t making football any fairer or better. And it’s equally clearly making it less fun to watch. So what’s the fecking point?It's simple: for objective decisions (so not offsidse/goal-line) VAR should only be able to show the onfield ref full speed replays. I don't believe there can be a single argument against this.
Not sure if you made the right call on a handball? Watch in realtime, if you can't decide, go with onfield. Red card? Can't tell in a replay in natural speed? Then you don't get to overrule it.
VAR with freeze frames is a farce. Football is not refereed like that for 99.9% of tackles, so it cannot do it for the random times VAR decides to intervene.
Stuff like this is surely grounds for an appeal?
It's a stupid rule and makes no sense. I remember Chelsea being denied a penalty and it was crazy then too.Just seen the Rashford handball shout. There’s literally nothing stopping defenders throwing themselves to the ground to stop shots and crosses with their arms now.
The single reason against it is you will still miss things. The rashford trip in the box today, could be sent off for diving on an other day if that’s a second yellow offence yet he was clearly caught and could be a pen and you can see that when slowed down.It's simple: for objective decisions (so not offsidse/goal-line) VAR should only be able to show the onfield ref full speed replays.

What do you mean “a yellow on the ankle”?The Felix one is a yellow on the ankle, nasty.
Casemiro is unlucky because obviously going for the ball, ends up with studs to shin with planted foot. Bounces off top of the ball. Possible leg breaker, red is reasonable.
No way is handball from Rashford cross deliberate, doesn't gain advantage or make body bigger. Nothing in it.

I don't even think he breaks his leg if he connects with it properly. It's not as if he's ran the full length of the pitch at 35 miles an hour to get there. He's turned and lunged pretty much.The Felix one is a yellow on the ankle, nasty.

Some bloke called Graham Scott.Who was in VAR room for the Chelsea game yesterday?
be interesting to see if the one in VAR. room for us today is so keen to nitpick and overturn the ref in future or past games.
Thanks, not heard that name, I’ll keep an eye on his future involvements because he missed shockers yesterday going by todays var refSome bloke called Graham Scott.
Would be totally fine with it. Keep the offside technology especially if they can properly implement the tech used at the world cup (although the PGMOL will find a way to screw this up undoubtedly) as at least there is objectivity there and it has been speed up significantly. The rest of it has not improved the game one iota. If anything there is less consistency and the majority of VAR interventions are not on missed blatant fouls but on innocuous hand balls and any other garbage reasons they can come up with to rule out goals that no one would have thought twice about prior to VAR. The refs used to at least get the benefit of the doubt with inconsistencies and that is gone now.As per my last post, what you describe would be the only correct way to implement VAR but is anathema to a fast paced, non-stop sport like football.

yeah now we get 1 minute of the ref standing with his hand at his ear and 15 seconds looking at a screen rather than 15 seconds standing there and 1 minute properly looking over replays.In most cases I don't think that the game was being slowed down much more than it is now. The only difference is that the time is being used for the VAR to cherry pick angles and exact milliseconds of action to do the best sell job for the decision they've already made, rather than just sending the ref straight to the screen and let him see everything.
Never heard of him either but his wiki page says he’s been a PL ref since 2015. I found this bit interesting.Thanks, not heard that name, I’ll keep an eye on his future involvements because he missed shockers yesterday going by todays var ref
In 2015, he was promoted to the Select Group of Referees, who officiate the matches in the Premier League, replacing long-time referee Chris Foy. In 2016, former referee Keith Hackett suggested that this promotion was "a mistake".[10] The PGMOL sought to demote Scott at the end of the 2016–17 season after he refereed just eight Premier League matches all season[11] – of the 19 Select Group referees, only Lee Probert refereed fewer matches.[12].
