F*** goal line tech, it's not football anymore etc.

God it's nice to have it back.

[Mehrez]

Someone had to unplug the goal line technology system as they didn’t have enough plugs for the god awful crowd noise system

People blaming VAR. That's not a VAR fault. People sure do love to moan and scapegoat don't they. 

 

That's goalline tech which is separate to VAR. 

 

The goal line tech clearly has not worked though. So surely VAR should get involved in it.

Yeah we all know VAR is ****ing terrible anyway without this new issue.

Probably half a millimeter of the ball was not clear of the line.

It was behind the post ffs.

[Detroit Blues]

Just a question of precedent - Has a goal ever been retroactively awarded (like at half-time)?

Except the ball went between the posts to go behind it. It's literally impossible not to. 

But when the ball finally goes behind the line, half of it is also in line with the post. I'm just theorising, a possible flaw. 

[Guest Electric Yetis]

Villa to let the Sheff Utd 'Keeper walk it in from the restart? 😂

[moore_94]

Didn't even show the hawkeye view as to why it wasn't over the line

[Corky]

Incredible, first game back and we're already having issues with technology.

No it has to be given at the time 

[Nod.E]

I'm sorry but the first thing they're talking about is a gesture. That's not right.

That's either the greatest optical illusion to ever exist or something has gone terribly horribly wrong.

VAR can review goals but can they review non-goals? 

[lestajigs]

Ffs sky talk about the football,

[TheUltimateWinner]

Surely someone should be in the refs ear to test the technology at halftime? That’s nuts 

[Collymore]

as long as he's applying pressure to the ball against the post then maybe it's not fully behind the line, if the line is the same thickens as the post. 

 

We're talking millimetres but actually might be the right decision.

Clear and obvious error though

[TheUltimateWinner]

No comment from Hawkeye

VAR could’ve overruled. Amazing. The premier league is back!

[sheffield_fox]

So the 3 VAR refs are happy to just watch that obvious goal not be given and we've got people here saying that is fine? 

 

What are they there for if not to prevent clear and obvious errors? 

 

People were posting that image on this forum while the referee was still pissing around with his watch.

It goes about half a foot beyond the post then he pushes it against the post 

[Unabomber]

So VAR could’ve overruled it! Also no one seems to have mentioned the goalkeeping so bad.

I imagine VAR cannot over rule goal line tech. If they were we’d be into all kinds of subjective decisions like the offside

Just said var CAN overrule
