then they beat city 2 0 problem is that they all get paid far too much. at one time long past they were hungry to win every game. this applies to all teams nowadays. its a shame. its not the game i grew to love as a kid anymore. :roll:
It’s true, the introduction of the offside rule has changed things somewhat

Any referees on here? Can someone please explain to me how Phil Foden didn't get a penalty this morning?

I largely blame IFAB for fiddling with the Laws and FIFA for some ludicrous interpretations of them, but you've got to be honest, the officials are royally fucking things up with VAR. I completely understand how you can make a wrong decision in real time, often with a restricted view, but how the hell can a bloke watching a replay in a TV room come to a decision like that?

It's got people talking about the rules and decisions and kept their minds on the game despite the Chinese Virus, so in that context they would claim it to be a success. :oops: :wave: :wtf:

IMO there can be only one ref. Give him all the aids, camera angles etc he needs, but it has to be his decision, not prompted by some numpty in Stockley Park. Give each captain x challenges where they can ask him to review the monitor and once they're gone, no more VAR. Then, the guy in the box only needs to be a TV technician, not a ref, so won't influence the decision. There was another one last night in the Spurs game, a clear penalty, reviewed and not given.

Superb first half by Arsenal. Despite Lamela’s never-to-be-repeated fluke, Arsenal hit the woodwork twice and could have been 3-1 up at h.t.

I thought the Goons deserved the victory, they played better overall, although Spurs were on top after the red card.

Game changed though on the penalty decision, which every footballer knows was simply wrong. Laca got his shot away, Sanchez wasn't even trying to tackle him, just putting his body across the line of the expected shot and, if anything, Laca kicked Sanchez not the other way around. Can't blame Oliver, he only saw it in real time, but VAR must surely correct those or it's not fit for purpose. No complaints about the second yellow for Lamela, you can't go waving your arm around behind you that high, even though Tierney made a meal of a little slap.

I haven’t seen any of the game, but going by what NOC said, was it again VAR not being good, or the refs involved including Oliver not using the images shown to change a decision?

VAR has no opinions and makes no judgements, so you have to draw the distinction between the technology and the clowns using it. Even then, just maybe the clowns are at the mercy of the ringmasters who tell them how to perform.

Technology is here to stay and I love the goal line technology, it's instant and the players trust it so there's no arguing and surrounding the ref. The frustrating thing is that VAR was brought in to get the right decisions and it's spectacularly failed because the tech is being used incorrectly, instead of reducing gray areas, it's added to them.

The meaning of 'clear and obvious' is patently open to interpretation so how can it possibly be consistent? At least with offside they draw their silly lines and eventually reach a decision that you can't really argue with, certainly you can't say definitively that it is wrong. Simplify that by only using the feet and decisions will be even more accurate and massively quicker.

IMO there can be only one ref, he makes the final calls and all VAR should be for is to give him extra sets of eyes and different angles. Do away with a ref in the box, a monkey can be taught to draw the simplified offside lines, give each captain one challenge per half where he can ask the ref to go to the monitor and review his decision and If he sticks with his first decision, tough titties, if he changes it you keep your challenge.

The simpler a system is, generally the better it works.

He scored with a rabona a few years back as well, he's desperately one footed, but it is amazing the power he gets.

I want to get away from the lines. They can just freeze the picture, if the refs at Stockley see a clear mistake they change the decision. It wont be perfect but better than what we have now and the mm decisions will be taken away.

The problem with that is, you know that the TV pundits are going to draw lines and then point out when it's wrong. Who want's a wrong call to decide a champion or relegation? So long as it only uses the feet it should take seconds to review a goal, certainly by the time they've got back to the centre circle.

Not sure how Kane survived VAR analysis. Being England captain saved him a straight red is my take.

I've always thought that forwards are given more latitude for tackles, Shearer used to get away with some awful stuff, but that was a wonderful challenge by 'Arry.

I don't think I want to play in or watch a game where that is a straight red. Even a yellow would have been harsh.

It may not be good for the game but in today’s rules it was a red and the inconsistency is annoying.

I am all for concucciaon subs, but can someone explain why have them when it’s clear the player is not coming back on?

(I also think a 4th sub for any GK injury should be allowed at any time )
