New and improved rules for this season.
Worked quite well in the game against Leeds today.

VAR | 2021/22 Performances
- Thread starter ivaldo
- Start date
Just waiting for the ABU to come up with the brilliant dig of VARane now that he’s officially signed. Looking forward to that very “special” person.
So 3 games in - I think VAR has generally been much better this season so far?
It’s better because it’s not being used to obsess over the nose hair being offside. People who were insisting they were delighted with such pedantic use last season were either lying or they surely must hate this new approach?
No VAR -> too much VAR + bad applications -> less VAR + mistakes
Maybe they'll get there next season.

Not really sure they’ll ever get the application of it right with dinosaur referees using it.
Was in a bar all day Saturday so my opinion could be a boy hazy, but I thought the red card for James was done far too quickly. The ref only seen a still picture by the time he got to the monitor.
That is genuinely shocking to miss that. It literally changes direction in his outstretched hand.
Think Sancho didn't see it as he was still head down but strange that no one else appealed.
I noticed that and assumed it was just a knee or something because nobody mentioned it at all.
Just saw the Walker penalty and red card incident.
The red card may have been a slightly harsh call, but the foul is pretty clear. He gets his leg in front of the Southampton player but is nowhere near playing the ball.
My guess is that Moss decided if he has to drag his fat ass all the way over to the side of the pitch, then he might as well make it worthwhile.

Seeing it again the Southampton player is going down to get the shot away and he actually gets to the ball. How the defender stepping across for a body check and not touching the ball gets away with it I do no know.
it’s not clear enough or obvious enough to overturn for me, city got away with one after it was given.
Imagine if we'd got away with this one. Klopp would talk about it for two season I'd imagine.
It would be all over social media and we wouldn’t get another decision for a month.

I personally don’t think it’s offside because he’s not in the eyeline and not hit at Jesse but I was wondering what the check was after the goal was about

Did this City fan tweet about the Villa goal that could've been given as offside? Or that Liverpool fan?
This partisan online fan support gets on my nerves. Over the last 48 hours that City fan had seen De Bruyne not get sent off for endangering an opponent and then seen a United player get his ban doubled for a similar tackle.
Going back further, he also saw a Kyle Walker red card and penalty overturned because why not, it's City at home right. He's also seen multiple legitimate United penalty appeals waved away. But with his tweet he's implying United get favourable decisions regularly.
VAR is proving to be a bigger mess this year and that's a concern. I've always been pro-VAR because I never expected a perfect product straightaway, so it was on the proviso it tweaks and improves regularly. Going backwards after 2 seasons isn't promising.

Exactly in my group chats everyone kicking off about Lingard. So I brought up Villa and that seemed to shut them up.
It's pretty much the same isn't it? Except the Villa player was stood right in front of De Gea whereas Lingard is on the floor in front of their keeper.
Either offside or a foul on Lingard for a pen
Now there's a shocking decision.
The pen given to Sevilla was absolute madness.
No way is Lamela exaggerating the slightest bit of contact. Fecking scrote.
Yeah I think so, personally think they were both offside, at least from the footage I have seen of Lingard.
Probably the single worst decision on a football pitch I've ever seen in my life. Georgi Kabakow should never be allowed to ref a match in any professional league again, that's how bad it was. I really hope he was secretly in Sevilla's pocket because that would at least be a logical explanation for that joke of a decision.
As Arnold from Wolfsburg put it after the game: "Bottomless."
I don’t know how to timestamp but it’s 3:05.
Perez seems to have a goal disallowed for offside direct from a corner. My question is, you can’t be offside if you connect with a direct cross from a corner yet I’m not seeing this questioned anywhere.
Am I missing something? There isn’t a peep about it and I can’t see an offence anywhere else
Why aren't decisions shown in the CL? It's so annoying.
They reviewed this in VAR room today and decided it wasn't offside.
We were shite and the result is not in question, but what's the point of VAR if goals like this stand?
Leicester Number 18 is all over the back of the Legia player, preventing him from getting anywhere near Perez.

Looks like the ball is already airborne there, so they could easily have used a frame or two before this one to make the decision - and in one of those I'm guessing the left foot of the closest defender to the camera would likely have been playing the Finnish attacker on.
Cavani is fouled while he’s ahead of the defender getting to the ball and BBC are saying he might not have got there?
I understand the hatred of VAR but that worked perfectly tonight and nonsense like this doesn’t help

Shearer is a prick
Don't think he was getting to Konsa tbh who had a good run on him. It was clever play from him to go down as goal would've been given otherwise.
Problem here though is West Ham get given a goal yesterday even though Bowen is offside and challenges the keeper so in 24 hours you get two similar incidents and yet one goal is given and the other isn't.
Funny the issue of VAR at Premier League grounds only becomes an issue for Al when United benefit. It’s been the same in both cups for 2 years. 
I'm fecking bored of half brain cell pundits A. moaning that it took time to look at multiple incidents in one play and B. Failing to see what's right in front of their eyes. How can you seriously tell me he's not deliberately moved in front of Cavani to block him and isn't impeding his ability to get to the ball? He's not even looking at the ball, just Cavani. An NFL player would be proud.
Funny thing is the VAR decision wasn't even for a foul. It was because Ramsey was offside when the free kick was taken and he was clearly interfering with play as he blocked off the defender (Cavani). Whether it was a foul or not was irrelevant to the goal being disallowed.
That goal could have been disallowed four times over. The foul, two offsides, and handball by Ings.
