foxes_rule1978 Posted 4 March 2021 Share Posted 4 March 2021 I would say the offside rule needs changing, no one really complained about being a mm offside before VAR ... that is not an obvious error... should be only chalking off goals that are clearly offside. If you need 5 minutes putting up lines then that isn’t what I would consider obvious 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrielCaziado Posted 4 March 2021 Share Posted 4 March 2021 Watching this match with our fourth place chances hat on I would rather Chelsea than Liverpool winning for sure. Chelsea look a decent side and will win plenty of games whereas watching Liverpool I can now seriously see them only winning a handful of games.

I am sure none of them are trained to check for a finger being offside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vacamion Posted 4 March 2021 Share Posted 4 March 2021 Media darling and underarm deodorant advertiser Mason Bloody Mount. I mean, that was a lovely goal and all that, but he is tightening his grip on an England place for the Summer and he'll be Bob at the Euros. And the pundits will spend the rest of the season flapping over him. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need 5 minutes putting up lines then that isn’t what I would consider obvious The offside var is nothing to do with obvious - it’s apparently factual .... You’re either on or you’re off I still maintain that my six inch buffer area would solve all this crap ...... the argument that you would still have to get the lines out to see if you’re beyind the buffer is a nonsense because if you’re beyond the buffer then it’s pretty certain that you’re offside .....at the moment the judgment of when the ball is played and the screen is frozen plus how accurate the line drawn from the sleeve etc means that the apparent factual nature of the law is anything but .....

Bats8711 Posted 4 March 2021 Share Posted 4 March 2021 The problem, as always, isn't the concept of VAR - which is just watching video to correct mistakes. It's the implementation - in this case making one of the few objective decisions in football subjective by basing it off arms and sleeves. How is that ever going to work? It's going to be different every time. You have to change the rules to follow the technology and base offside on something that can be consistently applied. In its current form, VAR is horrendous. I'd just say that it could and should be much more thoughtfully applied. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what I meant is I’m resigned to the fact Chelsea finish above us. They have so many options as well on the bench compared to Liverpool and I can’t see us finishing above them now. Whereas Liverpool look average these days and another couple of results going against them and I think they are done for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s just that. I think they’re also completely shagged and a few players have hit some dodgy form at the same time. They ran their bollocks off for everything, pressing everything, closing down everything last season desperate to finally win it. Must be hard to reach the same levels playing the exact same game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
