For me before tonight it was Derby away in 1992 and Forest away in 2016.

triggs Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 This is exactly why VAR is never going to be abolished. You can complain about VAR decisions on marginal offsides but for clear decisions like the handball and the offside within 2 weeks people would be screaming for it to come back. Have always thought linesman is an impossible job anyway, have to see exactly when the ball is kicked while also somehow using your other eye to look across the line.

bobbydazzla Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) I would like the officials to do their job properly. It is not too much to ask, is it. If you ever needed any evidence of the damage that VAR has done to referees, I think today is a great example of that. These guys look petrified to make a decision today because they didn't have a comfort blanket. Edited February 14 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I just cant make a case for how he gave the free-kick a clean yard outside the box, not right on the edge or line even, they cant possibly have thought that's where the handball took place.

TheBrownBottle Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 It was a shocking decision, but watching the punditocracy missing entirely why VAR isn’t part of the FA Cup tells me all I need to know about their understanding and respect for the competition.

KetsbaiaIsBald Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 The goal and non penalty are where var should excel. Matters of fact. Technology is just not quite there yet. You’d hope in a few years tech could make those decisions instantly giving the best of both worlds where we get accurate decisions but instantly so you can celebrate for real. Goal line technology is the example where they have got it right. For serious foul play keep it as is such that the assault on Murphy would have seen a red. Then relax the forensic var interference for penalties and fouls during goals I think we’d be in a good place. This would mean yesterday we would not have got the penalties. I think I’d accept this for the sake of bringing the 100% excitement of scoring back. I think most people, even the hardest var haters, would be happy with this. When it’s done well no one complains. The only complaint I’ve even heard about goal line tech is the villa goal by villa that kept them up. And this was just when it failed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattypnufc Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 The galling thing for me is out of the 4 bad (pen x2/murph/offside) decisions, 3 of those, any competent officials shouldn’t have needed VAR. You can tell they have a massive reliance on it and are shit scared to make a decision without that safety net. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy84 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I don’t believe in the corruption stuff people say in the traditional sense of the word but I totally get why people say it. But I think it’s so incompetent that it is corrupt in the sense of it being that bad and egregious. His linesman just as culpable as he was. I wonder what will happen to him but you can bet very little, disgrace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lines man should have caught all three decisions without it. It’s not a case of he’s missed because VAR wasn’t available, they’ve missed it because they either weren’t concentrating or are just rank incompetent!

Tsunami Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I was at the Trelford Mills game; it was like he was goading the fans. They were arguably subjective decisions he made, last night the offside and handball were just fact, no subjectivity. Last night was worse. Just a point on the Bizot sending off, put an outfield shirt on him and he makes that tackle, with the keeper still in nets, I’d be expecting a sending off for dangerous play. Being the keeper isn’t a defence for a knee high, flying tackle, with no attempt to get the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
