Legend_in_blue Posted 2 November 2019 Share Posted 2 November 2019 I do not understand why referees are not using the video monitors on the side of the pitch. If they are not going to use the system fully, then what is the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facecloth Posted 2 November 2019 Share Posted 2 November 2019 Watching the penalty again, it's the fact he brings his foot forward into an almost complete step forward before going down that says to me its not a penalty. Had he planted his left foot and the went over you could understand it, but he's made the complete movement of the next stride with his right foot. He's basically seen the ball rolling out of play and decided to try for a pen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah maybe Var could’ve been good but it has just not been used well at all. It needs to be binned for a while ASAP until it is implemented properly.

RowlattsFox Posted 2 November 2019 Share Posted 2 November 2019 I don't think the refusal to watch the screens is anything to do with time but more to do with the on pitch referee not dealing with the pressure of having to reverse a decision. They think the ref will get less abuse because the decision was made elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the VAR official thinks the on field official missed something, on field can check and see if he agrees rather than then VAR official re-officiating the game which was what they were trying to avoid.

fuchsntf Posted 2 November 2019 Share Posted 2 November 2019 I Think VAR is Fantastic it proves &confirms,what fans all around have known since Football began....Our Fathers & their fathers..etc We should all respect referees because anything with ref in it.... Really Don't know what they are doing..they are Really blind,, VAR does Not lie,we can all see it..!!.. Now whether they are Wa**ers, has not yet been confirmed,But thats why they dont go to the side-lines,and look at the screen.. They are worried that soon as they,turn on the video-highlight,he will Select the wrong Program and do what comes Naturally for him,as soon as he stands before a screen with convorting-athletiic bodies...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_horns Posted 2 November 2019 Share Posted 2 November 2019 Was the only way we were going to score! Sums it up when our goalie comes closest to scoring other wise .. 2-1 flattened us tbh . Big game live on Sky next week at Norwich . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post UniFox21 Posted 2 November 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 2 November 2019 Amazing how the media can spin results isn't it? Man City took the lead in the 86th minute, at that point of Liverpool's game they were still losing 1-0. So how Liverpool are 'Incredible' yet Man City are described as just saved from embarrassment is staggering. 4 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusko187 Posted 2 November 2019 Share Posted 2 November 2019 My issue is that they said they wouldn't use the monitors because it would take too long to make a decision. It is taking just as long, and some decisions have been horrifically bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urban fox Posted 2 November 2019 Share Posted 2 November 2019 Ifs buts and maybes i know BUT if not for two late winners, Man City and ‘pool draw next week, we win next two games, Chelsea win next week and the title becomes a four way race with only 4 points between top and fourth place with a 9 point gap to fifth. Just saying. I know everyone saying top two are streets ahead but still early days and a couple of results either can change things dramatically.
