Popular Post Kopfkino Posted 10 January 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 10 January 2020 Why can't it be both a VAR and a rule issue. Without VAR it doesn't get given. The rule would still be shit had the ref noticed it and brought it back straight away but it'd be immediate just like the offside goal that was ruled out. Instead we get all the emotion, animation, and excitement and then we have to wait for a bit whilst a bloke 200 miles away looks at a TV screen. It's really the fact that VAR just chips away at the emotion of the game which means it gets shit because people don't want football to be some utilitarian hell hole where everything is 'right'. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate people will argue about it being different for defenders and contact with the arm but that risks people just blasting the ball at arms or flicking it at hands in the area to get pens ...... But again, if Snodgrass has the option to square it, does so and West Ham score, the goal stands. Yet the ball still wouldn't have gone in had it not been for the initial ball hitting the hand, the chance for the goal would still never have come about without it. Which makes it an utter nonsense.

Kitchandro Posted 10 January 2020 Share Posted 10 January 2020 21 minutes ago, Ashley said: Right. Anyone questioning that needs to realise the hand aids Rice being able to play the pass and assist Snodgrass. The hand doesnt come into play that phase of play doesnt happen and Rice gets forced wide. Quite simple really. I would argue however that's point blank range but yeah, handball. What if it went for a corner from the final shot and they scored from that? What if a Sheffield Utd player had touched it with his hand and it prevented an assist or a goal -isn’t it the same principle? Is Rice supposed to kick the ball out of play in case they score? You can see how it’s stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peach0000 Posted 10 January 2020 Share Posted 10 January 2020 VAR worked as it should. Ruled out an illegitimate goal which it’s there to do. If the goal had stood that would have been wrong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_horns Posted 10 January 2020 Share Posted 10 January 2020 I would say least its consistent on handball but we've had 3 goals against us with such incidents miss (and admitted by the Premier league) So really as pointed out above VAR isn't doing much to sort out controversial incidents - just adding to them. Having said that someone somewhere would be complaining if that goal had stood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it wouldn’t matter What if a Sheffield Utd player had touched it with his hand and it prevented an assist or a goal -isn’t it the same principle? Depends if the defender has made himself ‘bigger’ by use of his arm Is Rice supposed to kick the ball out of play in case they score? Players need to become cuter ....if they know it’s touched their arm then they need to keep possession rather than shoot or make a chance creating pass I accept that many will think the new law is an ass but on balance in think it’s one of the better changes made over last couple years 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No that logic doesn’t work. If someone heads it goalwards and a hand gets in the way, it has to be deliberate. Or if a cross is about to be tapped in and a hand gets in the way, it has to be deliberate. It’s the same principle. The rule isn’t consistent with the principle of hands/arms directly affecting goal scoring chances. So it merely favours the defending team, for no fair reasoning that can be backed up. As I said above, where do you draw the line? How far back is the handball relevant? I’d say it’s always relevant, it’s the butterfly effect. Again, is Rice supposed to avoid playing a killer pass because he knows it’s hit his hand, on the off chance they score? There are so many reasons it doesn’t work.

davieG Posted 10 January 2020 Share Posted 10 January 2020 Plenty of unintentional hand balls are given just because a player is deemed to have made his body bigger, how do you measure that? Determining handball or not will always be contentious however the laws are written and interpreted. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football is a hugely subjective game- people will always look at the same incident different ways depending on their bias. Most of the offsides, for example, haven't been controversial- the issue is that the rule was brought in to stop players goal hanging 15 yards behind the defence, not to judge if a player's armpit or head was further forward on a TV screen. But the rule states that if a body part that can be scored with is ahead of the last defender when the ball is played, it is offside, so those decisions are correct. As I've said before, I've little sympathy for the teams, players, managers involved here. The Premier League didn't force this- it came about because people couldn't accept a bad decision. All those comments about "costing us millions, relegating us, costing jobs" meant we have to sit through this to get to the right decision- and they still aren't happy. As ever, the focus was on the negative impact of decisions- have you heard any manager call for video assistance when a decision went in their favour? Or did they play it off with a "sometimes they go for you" excuse? The game wasn't perfect, it never will be, but this stuff is just tedious now. So do something about it- accept it is here and you'll be impacted or get rid of it, still be impacted but have the chance to celebrate or moan accordingly. If everyone hates it, join together and ditch it. The game will carry on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AKCJ Posted 10 January 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 10 January 2020 Handball even without the rule change for me. He nearly catches it. It falls perfectly to his feet as a result of it hitting his arm. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_horns Posted 10 January 2020 Share Posted 10 January 2020 They just said on Talksport that the Premier league rules allow for handballs from deflections and ricochets to be let go and not leading to disallowed goals etc. Not sure how true that is mind you!

Aus Fox Posted 10 January 2020 Author Share Posted 10 January 2020 Away from the controversy, West Ham were poor, really poor. You often hear it said of older players that their legs have gone. Zabaletta was the epitome of this, couldn’t get up and down and handed over possession so often. They looked devoid of ideas and I would have them in the worst 3 sides in the division right now. Sheff United on the other hand, well organised, everyone knows their role and up to 5th. Would love to see them get a European place, don’t think many teams would fancy going to Bramall Lane on a big European night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twister Posted 10 January 2020 Share Posted 10 January 2020 Let me add how ridiculous VAR is is if snodgrass shot ahd been saved and the corner given then VAR is not in use, even if they then score from the corner. its all over the shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 11 January 2020 Share Posted 11 January 2020 People absolving VAR for that goal being disallowed - the rule was changed to fit in with VAR, so yes it's indirectly because of VAR. I really do think they'll look back on this season as a bit of a farce in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the biggest problem. For me if you're going to make a sacrifice like this, you need to get it spot on and yet I think VAR has proven that that simply isn't attainable. I don't think it was wrong to experiment VAR but nobody can convince me this is working and is good for the game, regardless of the propaganda churned out. Sick of talking about it every week but I can't get away from it either. Perfect for the pundits who have another thing to stop them talking about actual football. Please just get rid of it for god sake. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
