HawK Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 On the basis that VAR is meant to resolve 'clear and obvious' errors, then I think : No lines on offsides All decisions only get 20 seconds to be reviewed and in real-time only Completely open audio between the ref and the VAR that's routed through stadium PA That'd fix the system pretty quickly imo.

Skeletor Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 VAR has corrected many clear and obvious errors in our favour and generally been a bit of an equaliser for us against some very corrupt referees. It's a good thing it is staying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corner vs goalkick, throw ins, and the more obvious offsides so that we don't need to wait for the chance to finish, and then for VAR to check it, on every single offside decision.

Under the current system I don't even see the point in linesmen tbh. Because it isn't subjective, you're either onside or offside (based on the current technology). Linesmen still have corners and throw-ins to decide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it's good to wait sometimes 3 minutes or more while they draw lines to fit whatever narrative they're trying to paint depending on who's playing, or if it looks too close to call it offside on real time, let it stand ?

Where would you draw the line on what is clear and obvious offside and what is not? And wouldn't that just be even worse for possible corruption that you're worried about? What if someone is 1cm over the clear and obvious threshold, still onside or offside? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 All moot points with the new semi-automated technology though but I don't really understand the constant crying about the offside rule when it will always be tight, no matter where you draw the line. Someone will always be offside by the length of a toenail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not Hawk but if you need to spend 3 minutes OR have to squint to see which way it went, it ain't clear and obvious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Good. I'm probably naive, but hopefully they improve on how to use it to avoid insane delays on decisions. Too scarred by awful (and/or corrupt) decisions going against us on a regular basis before VAR. We still get the odd one, like the one this season I can't for the life of me remember, and Crystal Palace last season, but the frequency is a lot lower than it used to be. We also seem to get a lot more penalties we'd never in a million years get before. Net positive for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Alan Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 (edited) Pet hate here but the people complaining about offsides never offer a workable alternative approach. Offside calls must be reduced to millimetres. There is no other way to do it. You can measure from the chest or foot or you can introduce daylight. You still have to make a decision based on the smallest margin we can hope to measure. Giving forwards 'the advantage' or 'a little bit of leeway' is no solution either, for how much do you propose to give? 30cm? 31cm? You'll still be faced with the matter of comparing this week's 'leeway' to last week's. Unless, of course, you just don't want to see VAR intervention, in which case, prepare yourselves for Man United and Liverpool scoring goals whilst 10 yards offside.
