Not worthy of a thread - 2018 FIFA World Cup edition


Recommended Posts

I don't actually think Lascelles needs to be in a massively defensive team like. We're good defensively because of him, not the other way round.

 

Mmm...not so sure about that. He like our other defenders seem completely clueless when we're hit on the counter. Keep our shape and they're fine. That probably is true for most defenders but I think it's clear Rafa's tactics and management is making it a lot easier for him and other defenders. Even Dummett looks fucking class and we all know he's a crap footballer really.

Filipe Luis has broken his fibula. Third chance to go to a World Cup and now he most probably won't ever get to play one. In 2010 he was the 3rd choice left back and same in 2014. Feel so bad for him.

Back to Brazil. Never been that good. Failed at Benfica and Inter. Was actually sent off in the first half last night in the Libertadores.

Just seen random highlights of England 6-0 San Marino. Had no idea David Platt missed an injury-time penalty to equal Malcolm McDonald's England record of 5 in a game.

Tons of good friendlies today. Last time for a lot of players to prove they belong in the squad for the WC. Especially interested in Argentina v Italy. Sampaoli leaving Dybala and Icardi off the squad because issues they've had with Messi (he's not going to admit that himself) but also because they have a very interesting player called Lautaro Martinez who has been very good this season for Racing Club.

A World Cup final getting decided by VAR  :scared:

 

Any worse than being decided by a completely wrong decision by a human?

 

SkySports released some data recently; in making decisions - VAR has an accuracy of 98.8% and referees have an accuracy of 99.2%.

 

Assistant referees are at 98%. Is it worth slowly our game down to a ridiculous mess like rugby to improve assistant referee’s decision making by 0.8%?

 

The man in the middle

 

According to the PGMO (Professional Game Match Officials), Premier League referees make on average 245 decisions, almost three times more than average player touches ball (90). That's one decision every 22 seconds.

 

Sixty of these decisions are technical (goal kicks, corners, throw ins), leaving 185 decisions to judge physical conduct or disciplinary actions.

 

Of those 185, 28 are visible decisions where action is taken (fouls, restarts), and 157 are non-visible, where play continues.

 

Refs make on average two mistakes per game. Meaning they are correct 99.2 per cent of the time.

 

Assistant referees

 

Many supporters would struggle to give the name of a single assistant referee in the Premier League, but the outcome of a game can hinge on their decisions.

 

Assistants make an average of 110 judgements, including offside technical and disciplinary decisions.

 

Just 39 of these are pure offside decisions, with just five of these resulting in an offside flag going up. Their accuracy is on average 98 per cent.

 

Summary of VAR experiment results (IFAB)

 

972 competitive matches in more than 20 associations and competitions

Accuracy of final decision with VAR is 98.8%

:lol: So refs get a sample size of every single decision, where as VAR gets a sample of only-the-most-contentious-decisions, and we're supposed to think they're comparable numbers?

 

In fact, in the VAR review that the 98.8% figure is taken from, they state that:

 

"The accuracy of reviewable decisions has increased by 5.8% to

98.8%. 100% accuracy is impossible due to human perception and

subjectivity in decision-making"

 

I however do not know why they spaced their PDF like that :lol:

It’s a sample size based on comparable decision to what VAR makes - so it is comparable.

 

It is but its ridiculous as it only is used to correct contentious decisions.

 

And them decisions are the ones that make the biggest impact on games
