PhillippaT Posted 14 May 2021 Posted 14 May 2021 Not a bad match for the neutral, that one. Trying to take my thoughts off tomorrow........

This is a part of VAR that has to change. It was clearly on side and the amount of time taken to draw the lines and confirm it, was embarrassing. They then went back to the penalty checking, even though they had looked at it before the offside check 1

At times it feel like they are looking for reasons to rule out goals. Also things like the the penalty are meant to be clear and obvious errors by the ref. Taking 4 minutes means it wasn't clear and obvious. 1

But to actually give it, the offside needs to be checked as offsides do not fall under the ‘clear and obvious’ section of VAR.

I think you miss the point I'm making about offside. Watch the highlights last night and tell me why the Newcastle check before the penalty took ages and had lines drawn all over it, yer the 4th man city goal seemed to be checked in seconds, no lines drawn.

Oh I massively agree with your last point. Son’s goal against us last season comes to mind, probably onside but not worth checking?! For the penalty, you have to think that they’re essentially making two decisions which could contribute to the time taken. Although the ‘clear and obvious’ mandate has clearly been taken too far, I admit.
StanSP Posted 15 May 2021 Posted 15 May 2021 Didn't know where else to put this. Jake Humphrey leaving BT Sport. Alex Scott replacing Dan Walker on Football Focus. Wonder if Dan Walker is going over to BT?
dynamark Posted 15 May 2021 Posted 15 May 2021 More chance of Dan Walker doing songs of praise very religious man ,does not work on sundays ever.Would imagine he will be on news channels for someone

Sunbury Fox Posted 15 May 2021 Posted 15 May 2021 Leeds hammering Burnley. Doesn't bode well for our hopes that Burnley might do us a favour against Liverpool.

Tuna Posted 15 May 2021 Posted 15 May 2021 Probably more likely to put in a performance against Liverpool after being hammered really. 1

David Hankey Posted 15 May 2021 Posted 15 May 2021 Burnley haven't a cat in hell's chance of doing anything positive against L'pool. On the other hand we know what we have to do and that doesn't mean relying on others.

SouthStandUpperTier Posted 15 May 2021 Posted 15 May 2021 We really are up shit creek if we're hoping for help from Burnley. Hope is not a plan. We need to concentrate on our own games.

For the penalty, you have to think that they’re essentially making two decisions which could contribute to the time taken. Although the ‘clear and obvious’ mandate has clearly been taken too far, I admit. This is the Torres goal. Sky don't show a decent angle and I've had to pause the video best I could, but you can see there's a chance he might be off. I don't think he is by the way, but considering they got the lines of for this one, it's just weird. Either we get the lines out them all, or we give a quick glance at them all, not just do whatever they feel like. Last season there was the goal Wolves scored against us where the guy out on the wing had a heal offside. I think it was Villa Arsenal where Lacazette was offside because a defender raised their heal slightly and it meant Lacazattes planted foot was offside. The level of forensic checking that goes into looking for those offside is ridiculous. That's like they are searching for things at times to rule out goals, whilst this Man City one they are just letting go.
