Lord Duckhunter Posted 7 November, 2020 Share Posted 7 November, 2020 9 minutes ago, trousers said: Bamford either has the longest shoulders in the world or that's his arm that's 'offside'... And Palace go 2 up They changed the handball rule because of constant complaints, so now the upper arm to where a short sleeve ends isn’t handball. The knock on effect of this is you can now score with your upper arm sleeve, therefore that part of your arm can be called offside. The basic thing people can’t seem to get their head round is offside isn’t subjective. It’s a fact, you’re either onside or off. There’s no “clear & obvious”,no benefit of the doubt. It’s one reason I didn’t think VAR was a good idea, and nothing that’s happened since has made me change my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is they can only seemingly use VAR to enforce the exact laws of the game. If your armpit is offside, well, you're offside. It's not like a penalty decision, which can be subjective (although I recall hearing that the technology is only accurate to a certain %, presumably if that's 1cm and you're 1cm offside, they count that as onside?) My preference would be to only use VAR to look at the position of the feet. If your head, armpit or knee is offside then it's down to the linesman/ref to call it. If they don't, VAR will only look at the position of the feet. I think that would eliminate most decisions which, while they may be technically correct, are enfuriating and seem to go against the spirit of the "doubt favours the attacking team" principle.

whelk Posted 7 November, 2020 Share Posted 7 November, 2020 (edited) Out of everything that annoys me in football, and that’s a lot, VAR is the absolute worst. Hasn’t helped clean up the game one iota and so many blatant penalties missed. Then you get shit like the Bamfird goal chalked off. Fcking insane and none of these fckers can be sure if the lines and frame it is realeased from boot. Ruining the game and should get rid.

Anyone who thinks we’re more attractive to manage than United are absolutely deluded. However, I don’t think it would be wise for Ralph to jump ship to them. he’s building something here, 100% backing of the board, fans and squad and generally speaking has a young team willing to learn and run through brick walls for him.. will pogba and co do that? Would he be given the time to buy enough players to suit him to turn them around c. 3/4 windows. if he has a brain, which I think he does, he’ll hang around for a season and go to Chelsea, who’ll suit him down to the ground.

It's why I didn't want us to sign him (when there were rumours of him coming in on loan). He's a super talent, but after such a serious injury, it's going to take him the best part of a season to get his game back up to speed. In the games he's played since he returned (post-lockdown at Chelsea and now at Fulham) he's looked way off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also don’t know what the Lino would have given with no VAR. all the moaning about how close it was assumes that the Lino thought it was on. Because they’re told to “play on”, we don’t know . What if the Lino thought it was off by a bit more than it was? I didn’t want var. But in this instance it’s done it’s job. It disallowed an offside goal. As for Haller, it’s subjective. In my opinion he was interfering, the officials obviously thought otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 8 November, 2020 Share Posted 8 November, 2020 How about you do it by feet position, then there’s no dotted lines involved, and you use thick blue/red lines. If the lines touch or overlap in anyway then the attacker is onside by ‘umpires decision’ I.e. you need a clear gap between the lines to be offside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
