But since the guidelines say that VAR checks every goal then surely it’d be within their scope to check a goal that comes from breaking the rules? If a goal is scored from kick-off and a player was past the half-way line as the kick-off was taken then the goal would be chalked off. If a player hits the post from a free kick and then touches the ball before anyone else VAR would disallow the goal. He’s cheated the opposing team and he’s moved the ball, and the spray indicating where the ball needs to be, and scored a goal. I don’t see how the rules would prohibit them from intervening.
VAR and Refs | General Discussion | May 15: Premier League clubs to vote on proposal to scrap VAR from next season
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
I'm just going off what was said in the video where VAR were apparently unable to intervene.
Literally one post above yours he's disagreeing with the ref's decision.
Agreed. It's just 3 players who've gone up for the ball and none of them have got it.
Kicked PSV out of the cup. Psv hugely shafted by the VAR though. Like, historically bad.
Giving him a yellow for it ffs
Get off the fence! What is the point of Gallagher?
The ref didn't see it as he had his back to it so he didn't make any decision for it to be final.
He also says Forest could move across but they've already lined up the wall and the keepers gone over to cover to the other post when he moves the ball. If it's not against the rules it should be.

That VAR review that gave Egypt a penalty was ridiculous, the defender isnt even looking at the attacker he is looking at the ball.

Bet they won’t
Especially not with decisions that they make against us.
What do they mean by this? The fans will hear them deliberate at the time or some farcical nonsense where they interview the ref after the game?
After the game? Don’t be ridiculous. It will be a very heavily moderated weekly or monthly show where they are given preparation for each question and agree the answers with PGMOL reps.
Well that was slightly tongue I cheek. I knew by the it was worded that they weren't going to allow to hear us to hear their deliberation in real time. Anything else is pointless and Howard Webb is having a laugh by claiming that anything they dream up other than that brings football in line with rugby.

Did that (not by his side) hand prevent the goal?
Doesn't matter if it does or doesn't. It's just funny that the initial reason was because his arms were by his side when they're clearly not.
It's also annoying that we (like United) always seem to be on the wrong side of subjectivity when it comes to VAR.

Exact opposite funnily enough. The ball is coming back out and it accidentally hits his arm which sends it towards the goal.
I can see why it’s not given.
Just watched the highlights. They got this one perfectly right for me and it's a perfect use of VAR considering the context of the situation.
1- The ball never crossed the line fully after it hit his arm so it wasn't a goal
2- The ball deflected off the woodwork awkwardly and the lad had no way of knowing where it was going so the handball was completely accidentally
3- His arms weren't in an unnatural position and didn't move towards the ball to impact it (which let's be fair, would have been madness)
4- Had Robinson been on the moon, Fulham had two players in front of your nearest player and would have in high likelihood cleared it
You've had some shocking decisions go against you this season admittedly but I can't see this as one of them

He's bald
Edit - They both are.
Edit - They both are.
They’ll just use generic statements and not explain why A is opposite of B.
We all know why they give decisions, it’s why they’re so inconsistent from the rest is what we want to know

Clear penalty not given at Anfield. Wasn’t even checked properly.
i mean clearly they checked, saw it was a pool player committing the foul, and remembered they couldnt actually call it.
Liverpool as a club and their sock puppets in the media have been talking about Tierney. He was terrified to give that decision.
His start this game have been so bad. He is giving Liverpool everything.
Back to booking players for mildest consent of an arm thrown again now are we? Guarantee Nunez won't be booked for the same thing.
Don't say it out loud.
Shocking referee for Liverpool Chelsea game. Ridiculous.
pool player clearly impedes the chelsea defender from getting out wide. ridiculous.
How did Chilwell not get a free for that wrestle on the middle of the pitch prior to pool’s second?
That was a bit of a mad one. If he wasn't fouling him, then what was he doing?
This is pure comedy.
Cuddling?
Another gameweek of good processes lads.
Ask Kloppo he looks pretty happy.
fecking joke.
This game has been a joke in terms of refereeing
A penalty all day says McCoist
This has to be the most abject display of refereeing and VAR I've seen.
