madras Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 1 hour ago, The Prophet said: That's not what he's saying though. Essentially the ref only has to describe something vaguely similar to what happened to fall under the high bar. For example if the ref had said 'there was a collosion between the forward and the keeper, but the defender has come away with the ball, so no penalty' then VAR won't get involved. If however he'd said something like 'the striker handles the ball before the keeper makes contact, no penalty' that's fundamentally wrong, so VAR would come into play. Its ridiculous, but it explains why there have been so many bad decisions across the board of late. "It's ridiculous but it explains" translates to "its an excuse they've came up with after" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) Eh? It's clear how it works it's just a very bad system. It's judged a clear and obvious error if the referee cannot describe the incident, whether or not his decision was wrong isn't factored into it. Ie when Lascelles threw Chamberlain to the deck the ref would have needed to say something like "there was a collision between Lascelles and Chamberlain, the latter went to ground too easily" to prove that he saw the incident. The fact we can watch it back and see that it was a clear foul isn't factored in. He's proven he saw the incident so VAR won't check it Edited December 22, 2021 by Hanshithispantz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be regardless of how it's done tbf, clubs should have access to video from the VAR room or something. It does explain the baffling decisions though. It's a silly implementation but I assume it was to try and reduce the use of VAR and give more weight to the referee's calls.

BlueStar Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I can't get over the fucking brass neck of the six clubs that risked the collapse of the entire competition by secretly conspiring to fuck off to a European Super League together for a load of cash wringing their hands and being all concerned we might "destabilise the league" by spending a similar amount of money to them on players.

manorpark Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 It is great to have owners of NUFC who care, and show they care. Over the next few years they will undoubtedly show that care even more !!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, for all of the Guardian and sports writer types slating these two, they'd be wise to remember why what they do resonates so strongly. Mike Ashley created the separation that makes these two able to connect so easily with fans. We spent 14 years never hearing from our owner and with less sporting integrity than the weekly kick about at GOALS. I'm never ignorant to who our owners are and what they've done, but the notion I'm responsible for their arrival or the fact so many have welcomed them with open arms is ludicrous.
