This VAR been used to decide offside decisions is flucking stupid!

There was a champions league game last week or the week before (cant remember the teams involved) where the front man was about to run on goal, but he was deemed to be offside! And how was he offside, his foot was!! But not just his foot, the VAR showed it was his toes(or toe area of boot. It must of been about 1cm of boot showing) that was offside!!! That was just flucking stupid and a ridiculous decision by VAR!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was just flucking stupid and a ridiculous decision by VAR!!!! How much should you be allowed to be offside by ? What's the tolerance... 2cm , 5cm , 10cm , 30cm ... ? I don't have an issue with someone being offside by a cm , but it's where they actually draw the line , I think if a player is standing or running it should be where his feet are , rather than torso or arm ..but they would need to change the rules , I think it's currently any part of the body you can score a goal with ...

I read that somewhere too so my question is how was Bamford offside when his arm was deemed to be offside ? It's gone mad now with this VAR shit, goal line technology fine but the rest of it is total bollocks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyajn Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Why oh why don't the rules get changed so that it is the leading foot which is the offside line, not the body, head or arm. This would be so easy for VAR to rule on if necessary. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a total load of bollocks to me so I'll stick with the Championship where VAR is a distant thing that hopefully will never be brought in.

It’s only one generation mate,that will not even realize that they never had VAR. Fact of the game now,and it’s best to be accurate. Too many games decided by referees in the past.

I don't have any problem with ensuring the ref's decisions need to be accurate, its the interpretation of what is a rule breaker or not. An arm, a leg, a hand...........f****** nonsense imo.

They have some bugs to figure out,but in the long run,will be nice to actually have a true ruling.This instance was ridiculous,but others ,like f**k heads dropping to the ground like theyve been shot,in the penalty box will be good to get rid of. Also,hand balls and offsides that they do get wrong. as for Coxys team going down over a decision or two....they had plenty of games to make that up. Im a Newcastle fan.I realize how tough it is.

Stillearly Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I've said before , they need to use it properly, take a note from Rugby Union .... let us hear what the refs and the VAR team are saying , total transparency in their decision making ... make the refs look at the footage as well ... show it on the big screens in the ground , so when the fans are back it will show then what's going on ... this lockdown is the perfect time to do it ... let the refs get used to it before the crowds come back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a statement, the league confirmed: 'Working with our broadcast partners, and with the support of clubs, all matches will be shown via existing Sky Sports, BT Sport, Amazon and BBC services. Details of the first additional selections covering the period until the end of November are announced today.
