[Football] VAR - Forest

[Justice]

Another VAR thread.
Exciting!

Do you think that if we keep on and on, they will get rid of it?

Is it coincidence that Attwell always seems to have dodgy VAR calls though? At some point a question has to be asked.

Attwell was demoted ftom the elite referee group some years ago because he was shit, even more so than the others. Then, inexplicably, he was promoted back to the group despite not having improved one iota.
His presence, along with Salisbury's, is a mystery.

Indeed, Pervis goal at Palace said it all, we know there are at least two looking at the decision for both to agree that was the correct line drawn was a disgrace. Salisbury shouldn’t be near PL games IMO.

CL football would help you upgrade the squad over the summer surely. Who might be sold other than Murillo?

Gibbs White? personally I’d take the money as I think Anderson has the potential to be even better, watching him weekly you can see why Newcastle are so sore about loosing him.

They won’t and Brexit won’t be reversed either, but both are terrible and there’s no harm in pointing out all the things that are terrible with it.

However, on this particular instance the goal was clearly a good goal. The offside foot didn’t belong to the scorer. How it took six minutes is the issue.

You just don't believe in VAR enough, or something like that

Go on - ask it.

I heard that VAR central had run out of 50ps for the leccy.

It turns out that they maybe did. Or, as Pooter joked afterwards, they may have run out of ink.

The technology that was going to prevent mistakes and make the game perfect was, in fact, on the blink. The semi automated offside wasn't working and neither were the comms. All hail this marvellous technology.

Nottingham Forest: Nuno's men survive 112 minutes and VAR fiasco to boost Champions League dream

Nottingham Forest's win at West Ham was high on drama, with some great goals, jaw-dropping errors and even the odd scrap. But unfortunately it is the officials and the technology which makes the headlines again.

Perhaps they're working too hard on using technology. I'm sure, once upon a time, they had a system where the lineman could communicate with the referee by means of a flag. Wave it one way for offside, another wat for throw in, another for penalty, another for free kick, or corner, or goal kick. It seemed to work.

In this case VAR failed to do its job anyway. It allowed the goal. They once had a system where the linesman would decide the players were level and allow the goal. Then they introduced VAR, and if applied sensibly, it would have involved the VAR official looking at a still photo (without lines) and confirming that they were level to the naked eye. Goal given.

What actually happened was that some bright spark worked out that if we introduce long delays for checks, and if we force the linesman to delay his decision because his job is now impossible, and if we make celebrating a goal less of a thing because you never know whether it will be given - by doing all that, we can disallow lots of goals that used to be legal. And the fools in charge listened to that bright spark and decided what he proposed was good.

(Actually, the last paragraph is completely untrue. There were no bright sparks at all in the VAR introduction department. Not a single soul realised what a disaster it would be to abolish eh concept of "level" in offside.)

Yeah I get that. It is not supposed to be micro analysed. To me, a fair few vodkas deep on holiday, it looked off.

Except it wasn't!

Domniguez would've been off if he blocked keepers view or made a movement "towards" the ball.

he did neither.

When cross came in he actually ducked, it hit Milenkocvic (onside) on back and in.

Should've taken under 60 seconds to see it was onside.

The Premier League clubs collectively had their chance to get rid of VAR last summer and they blew the chance. Wolves were the only club that voted to remove it, the other 19 wanted it to stay.
