VAR

VAR somehow failed to spot Yerson Mosquera choking Kai Havertz, then fingering Gabriel Jesus. https://x.com/timo_party/status/1824836 ... xkVMw&s=19

Semi automated VAR in Spain disallowed Lewandowski's goal yesterday as it recognised the end of his boot was beyond the defender, but after the game it was shown that it mixed up the boots somehow as it was the defenders boot furthest back

What next, players being forced to where boots to match their kit? Just get rid of all the technology and go back to the human beings.

Some awful VAR-ing in last night's match between Sweden and Azerbaijan, where Jonathan Isak was ruled offside for being in a marginally offside position when the ball was played to someone else.

Ball goes to Gyokeres, circled, who in turn feeds Isak - who is two feet onside when the through ball is played.

In the Eredivisie, Zwolle scored an injury time winner but it was ruled out by VAR for offside. The offside call is from the first touch of a short corner, which you can't be offside from. Dutch football authorities confirm afterwards it was an error and they apologise to Zwolle

So therefore the game should be awarded to Zwolle or the injury time replayed again.

Is that semi-automated VAR for offside decisions?

That's less of a VAR issue and more of an officiating issue - they should know you can't be offside from a corner.

Not sure what the protocol is around ref Vs var disagreeing, but the video shows VAR spoke in his ear and told him to disallowed it

That really is brain dead.

So just how does VAR reach the conclusion that Pedro’s blatant attempted elbow assault v Brentford is not violent contact? By the way like the subtle way Pedro checked where the Brentford player was first before flinging his elbow out, yet still missed.

It was pure poetry that within half an hour of Pedro escaping a red, it was confirmed that Duran's red for slipping over would not be overturned.

Can't wait for Howard Webb to justify both of those.

Carabao cup semi finals to act as test events for the ref to announce to the stadium the Var decision, if he has needed to go over to the screen to view some replays

Well that added absolutely nothing to the game. Patently obvious VAR were checking for offside in Solanke's goal, even for those in the ground. Not a word about who might have been playing him on or other details, just confirmation it was no goal, which was self-explanatory since Allison was taking a freekick.

[Silver Fox]

Yep, plus nobody told little Stewie not to blow his whistle after he'd turned his mic on, the dopey pcunt

I disagree. Of course it was obvious the check was for offside. But I liked that the announcement was succinct, identified the player and named the offence. Would have been good to see it play out for a penalty or a red card, but I thought it a good addition to VAR.

I thought this. Must've blown people's heads off in the stadium

Top 2 divisions in Norway have voted to abolish VAR.

It now goes to the Norwegian FA and they will make a final decision in March

Semi-automated offside technology to be trialled in the fifth round of the FA Cup. Already used in the Champions League, although not without fault - it bizarrely took five minutes to confirm Haaland onside against Madrid despite the tech.

Has to be better than the likes of Kavanagh last night, if they didn't have a camera on him I'd have thought he'd popped out for a smoke
