[Albion] VAR decision on Estupiñán goal

[BBassic]

Wonder if the club will respond publically. It'd be interesting to see them make some noise about it.

So that's a goal that should have been given and a red card ( on Fergusson ) not given in our last 3 league games.

The red card incident was in the FA Cup.

VAR wrongly rules out Brighton goal in Palace draw

Brighton have a goal incorrectly ruled out for offside after a human error by the VAR operator in their draw at Crystal Palace.

www.bbc.co.uk

Claiming 'human error' simply isn't good enough, not when VAR has time to review replays over and over.

People need to be held to account for things like this. I'm not suggesting in any way we have the goal reinstated but this is clearly unsatisfactory performance that needs addressing

 

[TugWilson]

I'm not convinced it is onside. While it looks like the second defender is ahead of the blue line, I'm not sure he is also ahead of the red line. I wouldn't be surprised if there's another image with the line drawn to the other player showing there's a pixel differnece between the red and blue lines

Where were you at 3pm this afternoon ?

 

[South Stand Bonfire]

I think the Club should write a strongly worded letter to Head of VAR.




Oh, hang on......

Looks like the Brentford goal is just as ridiculous

Clear offside. That is actually what VAR is meant to correct.

Sort of defies the 'big six bias' narrative though!

Difficult to think of another line of work were such incompetence wouldn't cost you your job, that is of course unless you're a member of His Majesty's Government.

I’m sure Sanchez will keep his job as well

The Brentford goal was offside twice!

Supposedly got it wrong in the Chelsea game too, not intervening on an obvious handball (tee-hee).

The whole point in VAR was to remove human error. What's the point if it's just a different source of error?

 

[Soton Seagull]

For us or against us, it really needs benefit of the doubt to the attacker. The looking for a reason to call offside is nonsense. An elbow offside gives you no advantage. Whatever happened to the clear daylight idea?

Nothing wrong with VAR, except the clowns using it. I'd ditch it until they can sort their collective shit out.

 

[trueblue]

It might be 50 frames a second but I saw some examples a few years back where you couldn’t work out the exact frame when ball contact was made. If VAR is used in this scenario then it is guesswork

i think it’s been improved since then. Wasn’t 50 fps initially.

That Leicester goal that was ruled out didn't look particularly offside either.

Right from the start the PGMOL ballsed it up by the use of 'Clear and obvious' onstead of clear and obvious error. They've (more or less) got it right with penalty decisions - ooh, that could have been a pen.....I might have given it.............. but the on-line ref decided it wasn't. Marginally, possibly an error - but clear and obvious? No. Ref's decision stands.
So with off-side - he may or may not be an inch (about 2.4 cms. for younger readers) off-side. Yes, that might be clear and obvious in slow-,mo, or on a freeze-frame, but was it a clear and obvious error buy the on-field team? No, it wasn't - and who cares about a toe-nail either way anyway? That's not what the off-side rule was invented for anyway; it was to cut out goal-hanging - and it has! Job done - advanced finger-nail not relevant.

Clear and obvious doesn’t apply to offsides.

 

[kevo]

The whole point of VAR is to eliminate 'human error'. Absolutely pathetic.

 

[trueblue]

I don't buy the calibration. The cameras change each match, and they all have mega zooms. Impossible to know who's on what in an instant.

Best take it up with Hawkeye. They can’t be that bad considering the number of sports that use their technology.

 

[lizard]

Anything to benefit the established big 6/7.
It's becoming every ****ing match.
Maybe we should just say we'll start a goal behind every game if it can be adjudicated fairly.
Anything to keep us out of Europe.
****ing scummy cheating *****.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Oh I'm quite pleased they've said there was an error, I thought my eyes were failing me. When i saw the lines I assumed the red was the defenders and Estupinan the blue, couldn't believe it was the other way round and Estupinan was apparently a yard offside, just made no sense at all.

Doesn’t really tally with the two offsides that should have gone against Brentford for their equaliser at Arse, or the non-penalty for Chelsea. Apart from that though..

This time I'd like to see Bloom sue PGMOL for the amount of money that decision could cost us at the end of the season. Bankrupt the useless bunch.
