Same Sky $hite That is such an intersting point about being in the top 4 for the past 16 months (bar 1 week thanks to 93 Man U penalties) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinkenzo Posted 11 December 2020 Share Posted 11 December 2020 From the little i've seen from the Leeds keeper, he seems absolutely dreadful. Makes multiple errors whenever I see him 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we didn't have VAR, if we weren't looking for it, nobody would ever know. Those Leeds fans would have just been pissed off they missed a penalty and got on with their lives. And I could live these petty little things, looking for the smallest margin of error, if it actually improved anything. But all its done is prove that even with the help of numerous replays, our referees are still incompetent. Before VAR that's what people want improvements on, the big decisions, the things that get missed, nobody ever spoke about a keeper being a mm off his line during a pen, nobody ever spoke about those offsides that are level to the naked eye, where a toenail, or an armpit were off. They wanted consistency over handballs, fouls, red cards etc, and we haven't got that. We're nowhere near. In fact i think we're further away.

I dont get it though, I mean I suppose you're just fully anti-VAR anyway which is fine but since its here now, what do you want to happen? Them watch Fabianski break the rule and decide "naaahh, he's off his line but only by a tiny bit, we'll just let it go"...? VAR bugs me at times but I don't get how it can be criticised for applying the law correctly, 1mm offside is still offside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sjf123 Posted 11 December 2020 Share Posted 11 December 2020 Crazy how the penalty is retaken when the keeper is 5mm off his line, but if you look at the retake one of the Leeds players is encroaching at least two yards inside the box before the kick is taken and they do nothing.

Leicester_Loyal Posted 11 December 2020 Share Posted 11 December 2020 The rule about keepers not coming off their line at all for penalties is just ridiculous. Who actually makes all these rules up? We have idiots running the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAR bugs me at times but I don't get how it can be criticised for applying the law correctly, 1mm offside is still offside. I want it to pause that once and look at it, and if you can't tell from that its too close to call and leave it as it is. Same with offsides, if you can't tell on the first replay, without lines, then leave it, its not worth messing around with. And yeah actually I would like them to leave this stuff alone until they can actually nail down a way to sort out what is the real issues in the post I mentioned above. Once we've learnt to use it on them properly, then we can start messing around with tight offsides that take 3 minutes to check. Like I said earlier, all the pissing about trying to find something wrong in those situations might be a bit easier to swallow if they were actually using it properly for major incidents.

I'm not saying the rules are great, but if they're going to penalise the goalkeeper for being 5mm off his line then they should also apply the rules for the attacking players too.
