it'll never happen. Too many fans are obsesses with the narrative of football rather than sport so they rally against correct calls because the last minute goal was so dramatic it has to stand.
It has made certain calls more accurate, but not made games fairer. VAR presents the opportunity for the laws to be applied more within the spirit of the game, because replays can identify nuances that can be missed at full speed.
Without VAR Spurs would have missed out on a CL final run and a huge point today. A point that 99 percent of the league will not win.
What an idiot Redknapp is. I never knew that in football you have to appeal for a foul to be given. Where do these imbeciles come from?
With VAR Spurs still shouldn't have made the CL final because Llorente's goal should've been ruled out for handball. It wasn't ruled out because the camera angle that showed handball wasn't made available to the referee (for the record, I'd rather neither Llorente's goal or Laporte's assist should've been called). You can support VAR and still accept that its implementation is currently significantly flawed.
You missed my sarcasm because they did miss it, it was obvious that it was a blatant error but not reversed at the time. They reviewed the rules in the offseason and changed them to include being able to overturn something like that, but too late for NO. Same thing for the tuck rule and probably a couple others I have forgotten. That is my biggest worry here is that they will start expanding what they do and don’t look at based on public outcry, like the 1 penalty shout for City today. No doubt that the further along VAR goes the more things they will look at. The reviews are already too long and if we add more and more things to review...
No single team and no single result matters that much. If Spurs don’t go on so what? The reasonable fans are smart enough to realize that offsides call is negligible and no advantage was gained. The agony adds to their overall story. I do understand that is a little tougher to grasp, so I would never hold you to that.
People still use this word?
It's always reassuring when people on the other side of an argument start using the word "snowflake", this being the second anti-VAR poster I've seen make that complaint in the last couple of hours.People still use this word?
Similar to all those pro var with their Neanderthal comments
A quick search of my own posts tells me I've never called anyone a Neanderthal so I'm happy to agree, feck those guys too.
This has always seemed silly to me. You make it sound like every goal has the potential to be chalked off by VAR. In reality, itll only happen if something illegal has occured in the buildup. You can still celebrate, you just now have the potential risk of that joy turning into despair in a few minutes. If anything, it adds to the drama.
It’s a stupid and unnecessary rule change which was forced by the introduction of VAR. Without VAR that rule would not have changed.
Yeah, I saw your post towards the other poster about self service machines and how we are arguing against them as well. No, this is nonsense in my opinion. Self service machines were invented for convenience and actually serve a purpose. The majority against them are the people who struggle to use them.A quick search of my own posts tells me I've never called anyone a Neanderthal so I'm happy to agree, feck those guys too.
Obviously calling people luddites is perfectly legitimate though. *cough*
The new rule includes a player gaining control/possession of the ball after it touches their hand/arm and then scores, or creates a goal-scoring opportunity.
You two do know that PI wasn’t reviewable under last year’s rules, right?
Damn those folks who want the rules to be applied correctly. [shock][horror]
Are people anti-VAR also snowflakes because they can't handle the despair with an illegitimate goal being classed as such?
As I said to the other poster, at least we know you'll stoically deal with all these changes without complaint then. After all, a non-snowflake such as yourself couldn't possibly be bothered by something as trivial as changes to the rules of a football game.
On the contrary, they’re all paid more than enough to deal with it. And it is a game after all, an event put on to entertain.
Dorks* not folks.
Wow, you’re really not holding back, are you?
No. Dorks need rules to be scrutinized this closely. Period.
How does it feel knowing you’re losing the poll to a bunch of “dorks” and “snowflakes”?
It wasn’t at the time but it is now. Several time IR has been tweaked after a blatant error and public outcry. That’s my biggest concern with VAR being introduced, where does it end?
Like pretty much everything else in life. The world is collectively getting dumber and more incapable of accessing their own feelings and opinions. If someone else can tell them what to think, all the better.
Fixed.
And I’ll walk away from the sport anyway when the fight is lost. Done it with several others that have lost their way. Know I can’t talk any sense into you, resident mouth breather and NFL honk though, so this is goodnight for now.
With the rules being applied correctly...?
(Old man yells at cloud)
