Havertz actually stops dead, but the goal is given. Lucky Huns. No, the referee gave it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted Saturday at 20:39 Share Posted Saturday at 20:39 Is there minimum distance the ball must travel to hand? We need a stickometer for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted Saturday at 20:45 Share Posted Saturday at 20:45 Bad refereeing here. Considering the carnage the officials have caused you probably shouldn't be booking everyone for disagreeing with you. Especially as every 50/50 is going the same way Dordogne-Ram, angieram and Crewton 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G STAR RAM Posted Saturday at 20:47 Share Posted Saturday at 20:47 Absolutely zero need for VAR to get involved for the penalty decision. Just can't help making themselves centre of attention. Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crewton Posted Saturday at 20:48 Share Posted Saturday at 20:48 And the offside law is f****** stupid too - an offside player chasing and catching a through ball is active exactly at that moment, not after he's tried to round the keeper.

Every time I sit down to try and enjoy it you get this cack. VAR.... It should be so easy to implement. Yet you're still getting controversy? Wtf?

When are referees gonna do something about these penalties it was just as bad as the one against scotland.

LazloW Posted Saturday at 20:52 Share Posted Saturday at 20:52 (edited) Whether or not the VAR decisions were "correct" (in the eyes of the laws), does anybody really think that the game has got any better - or more enjoyable - since it was introduced? It’s not as if it’s taken ‘the human’ element out of the game, or the subjective nature of most (not all) decisions. So you’re still getting the controversy and disagreement about refereeing judgement… but with the added fun [sic] of taking an age for decisions to be made and sucking the fun out of things (football being a form of entertainment after all). It’s a no from me. Shame the EPL bottled it when they had the chance to get rid at the end of last season.

It became a joke a loooong time ago, I've said it before and I'll say it again...technocrats have got the game by the short and Curley's, It's clear and obvious that clear and obvious decisions are no longer with us.

Van der MoodHoover Posted Saturday at 20:58 Share Posted Saturday at 20:58 The main positive I have taken from tonight is that if Gareth Southgate somehow gets us through to a stage where we play Germany, then we won't have to put up with Attwell in the VAR room.....

And it's not like VAR has eradicated it. We are at the point now where we measure to the mm and a split second moment can be made to look like a 30 second master plan to handle the ball. Most annoyingly it's not stopped pundits pouring over every decision and managers deflecting their own shortcomings onto referees. It doesn't protect referees. It gives the egotistical referees their little moment to shine. Wtf does it actually do? Who's it a winner for?
