Edmonton Saint Posted 17 June, 2020 Share Posted 17 June, 2020 Well football is back, and looking very different. It's so weird without fans being there it's going to take some adjustment. Villa v Sheff Utd is 0-0 with nearly 20 minutes played... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Saint Posted 17 June, 2020 Share Posted 17 June, 2020 Mrs JBS switched from main event to Premier League - amazingly better without the faux fan effect. Amazing how Grealish gets the merest touch and collapses gets the decision, Long at speed gets clearly clipped ref persistently waves it away.

OttawaSaint Posted 17 June, 2020 Share Posted 17 June, 2020 Grealish going to ground before contact. Amazing that refs are not cottoning on. He’s looking to go to ground any time an opponent gets near him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAR has no remit to check goal-line decisions because it was always assumed the tech was correct. Got to be a manual error there somewhere, but previously they've always tested the system for about half an hour before the players come out for their warm-ups and I'm pretty sure they don't turn it off between then and kick-off.

SNSUN Posted 17 June, 2020 Share Posted 17 June, 2020 I can see Villa nicking this as Sheffield Utd should be one up. Even though I’m confident we’ll be safe from relegation worries, I don’t particularly want teams behind us creeping up. Sheffield United are probably uncatchable. Draw would be OK.

What’s the point of VAR if it doesn’t overrule a clear and obvious error by the technology. Was utterly ridiculous given how my times VAR has given really dubious penalties etc. To just shrug it off and go, “oh well, the camera didn’t work due to the position of the goalie” was utterly ludicrous. I wonder what would have happened if it was a Liverpool goal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
