ViewsFromTheMiddle Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 It was definitely inside the box. The Boateng foul I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritstone Ram Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 3 minutes ago, SaintRam said: I suspect that might be the wording of the rules ducking VAR over again. I think the foul was just outside the box, which doesn't make it one of the cases that VAR can involve itself in - unless it was also a red card, and there is a debate for that. What about preventing a goal scoring opportunity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was outside the box but probably prevented a goal scoring opportunity. They only use it if aTunisian runs into English players arm. In this game? Not sure if I saw that.

DavesaRam Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 VAR is dookmed to be crap most of the time because it is manned by referees who are on the whole crap. We have only got VAR because refs are crap, so why staff it with even more of the incompetent bunglers. And talking if bungs (I nearly was!), some of the VAR decisions seem to be aimed at getting the right result rather than the right decision.

Yes of course with the pundits sat in their comfy seats watching replays from every angle in super slow mo you are going to find stuff the refs have made mistakes on. It doesnt help with ex officials making a few quid by passing judgement on refereeing decisions either. I am very anti var though, i can get a ref making a mistake, but when var officials do like in englands first game then i do worry why they arent making the decisions. I am fed up with someone scoring then everyone sat waiting while someone decides if it was 3 millimeters offside or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAR does seem to be a very good way for FIFA to get the results that they would prefer, doesn't it? e.g. The peno just given to Ronaldo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Contain Nuts Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Utterly. The definitions of intentional and unnatural clearly mean completely different things in football than anywhere else. Tie defenders hands behind their back and send them off if they enter the penalty area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexydadbod Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 VAR isn’t the issue. The referees using VAR are to blame. VAR itself is the way forward but the way it is used needs to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except it is a good idea because if it is used properly, it substantially reduces the number of errors. The problem isn’t VAR itself, it’s the way it is being used by the referees.

Unfortunately that requires the players and managers/coaches to behave like adults as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Why is it VAR’s fault that the right decision isn’t always reached? It’s not VAR’s fault that the referees using it come to the wrong conclusion. As Gary Lineker said, it’s a matter of referee interpretation, the technology itself is good. It will become more efficient upon referee training and the more it is used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
