Hanshithispantz Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 51 minutes ago, Kaizero said: My personal biggest gripe with VAR is how horribly it's been implemented and that it lacks a universal framework of rules for its implementation. Please don't mistake my annoyance/disbelief at the one particular anti-VAR sentiment I'm complaining about here as me being pro-VAR no matter the circumstance, as I'm extremely fed up and frustrated with the way it's been (and is being) implemented at the top level. IMO it was implemented waaaay before it was ready to be implemented, and the lack of guidelines given referees regarding how to make use of/implement VAR into their refereeing has been, and is, a total shambles. A refereeing team from England officiating a CL match between Spanish and German teams will be utilizing VAR in a very foreign way to both set of fans, as well as the players/staff on both teams. Same goes for a Norwegian refereeing team officiating, say, an EL match between Dutch and English sides. There should be a universal framework given referees of all nations making use of VAR that they are to follow when it comes to utilizing/implementing VAR into their game, but there isn't, and it's all a complete shambles.

gbandit Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Think saying things like “if we don’t win the league I’ll fucking blame you” is going to have a huge impact on a ref’s judgement in future matches.

Rightly sent off obv, but it's nothing really. i dare you to go tell a police office to their face after they've stopped you for speeding, telling them in the heat of the moment "You've fucking stopped me?! Hope you're proud of your performance, if I don't make it home in time for tea I'll fucking blame you!" You aren't a robot, telling off the person responsible for applying the laws of the game society isn't that bad, it's nothing, really. Whilst taken a bit to the extreme with my example scenario, the general concept runs true. The referee is in charge of applying the laws of the game if they believe they've been broken, only to get a bald-faced cunt come shouting obscenities and threats directly at their face for just doing their job. It's bad, it's not understandable and (I hope) none of us would react like that regardless of the stakes. It's absolutely something, and that something is utterly disgraceful and a stain on the professionalism you'd want, and would expect, to see from overpaid millionaires at the highest level of the sport. That behaviour wouldn't be understandable even on Sunday League level, it's disgraceful and the behaviour of a person with the personality of a fucking shitstain middle school bully.

Well, after years of watching Klopp bully refs and Liverpool get decisions, who gives a shite. Take the rough with the smooth. It's what we have to put up with, for not being one of septic clubs, and not being arseholes to officials all the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 20 hours ago, GeordieDazzler said: The French FA knows how to handle cunts like Slot, wish the English FA would take notice: "Olympique Lyonnais coach Paulo Fonseca has been suspended for nine months by the French Professional Football League (FLP), following a confrontation with referee Benoit Millot during his team's recent 2-1 Ligue 1 victory over Brest. The FLP said in a statement on Wednesday that Fonseca will be barred from accessing the bench, the officials' dressing-rooms, and participating in any official functions before, during, or after matches until November 30th. Fonseca was shown a straight red card after a review of a potential penalty for Brest - which the Brittany side were not awarded - for his "intimidating attitude," according to Millot. "He came at me with an intimidating attitude and I decided to send him off straight away. It got out of hand," Millot told French sports daily L'Equipe." https://www.flashscore.com/news/soccer-ligue-1-lyon-boss-fonseca-handed-nine-month-ban-for-confronting-referee/bVr0vXhd/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Low scoring game where goals are absolutely massive and are the main reason people watch the sport. Say no more. Let’s make it even harder to score and almost make up ways to rule goals out by the use of video technology Modern football is pretty shit, TBH.

Stifler Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) Just watching Reff Watch on TNT.

alexf Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 There were some soft calls in there for sure for them. But glad he kept his cards in his pocket for the most part. Plus there are plenty of refs and Var that would have given Liverpool a pen for that handball. It was a nice change to have some common sense.

Tsunami Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I don’t think the handball would have been overturned by VAR if given on field. For the Isak offside, I’ve watched it a good few times and the keeper’s movement is fluent. You could remove Bruno completely and Kelleher would have made the same dive. We scored just after so it didn’t make a difference but it certainly wasn’t as clear cut as made out, Bruno wasn’t in line of sight of the ball when it was struck, Kelleher doesn’t make any adjustments. Tellingly, Kelleher doesn’t appeal for offside and doesn't know that the Lino has flagged. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattypnufc Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) Still not sure how MacAllister didn't get a yellow by the way. The little rat. However all in all arguably a decent officiating performance and nothing that stood out. I'm like Tsunami in that I don't see how Bruno is interfering but perhaps my interpretation is skewed. Glad it didn't cost us. And that handball would've been ridiculous. Still completely disagree with 8 minutes of stoppage time. 6 tops. Bastards.
