    So why was it abandoned?
    Because the dudded team refused to play? Or because the referee/association deemed it unfair that the game continue without VAR?

    If they Refused, fair play to them. Could’ve been us haha.

    I don’t really understand if that’s the case though cause the commentator says “it was used in the first match and therefore must be used in the second” implying that some kind of FIFA rule had been broken and must result in abandonment or a replay.

    But wow.
    As a side note, how are some of those players not being sent off.

    Well it seems with enough pressure a game can indeed be replayed.

    Ok....officially giving up.

    Re the pen VAR for France last night. Under what VAR law (goal, offside, penalty, mistaken identity) determines that penalty is retaken?

    As expected it is going to be used for everything after all.

    I’m assuming it is whether or not a penalty should be awarded or reawarded.

    No problem with this as long as there is consistency. It’s something that should be enforced more.

    If it results in a goal and the player throwing the ball in has stepped over the line and/or performed a foul throw, sure.
    Keepers moving off their line during pens has been a beef of mine for some time. I have no problem with the (now changed) keeper starting behind and diving forward. But they often take 1-2 steps forward before the ball has been kicked.
    1. The AR should be picking up on it.

    It was picked up because it was related to the awarding of (another) penalty and therefore VAR can intervene. Thats what they will say anyway.

    yeah well we can def agree with this right here.
    but if a long throw is a foul throw and results in a Pen? is it worth looking at?

    of course it is, if it leads to a goal.
    but of course its not because it doesnt directly result in a goal.

    this is my point. we can go all the way back and make every decision dope.

    but does that make the 'game' better. nah.

    just let the ref and AR to check it and if they mess it up then get stuck into the ref and AR.

    Similar to NRL...as the game tries to adjust to the numerous scenarios that keep popping up, the rule changes exponentially increase.
    What was meant to be the world's most simple game is no longer.

    OK- so EPL have begun - if anyone can get it right it will be them.

    However even now the majority of comments are about flow of the game, rule changes, time to make decisions, checking every goal etc - NOT whether it is improving decision making.

    Waiting for that first big critical call....

    One really shit one in City vs Westham, although not a "critical call" it shows how they plan to use it.

    Sterling was essentially level (literally nothing in it), they review it and deny the goal. No "clear and obvious" error, literally mm's in it. They then talk to the VAR post-game and say it was the right call "you're either onside or offside, whether its 1mm or 10m, we're going to review it and make the right decision". Oh yeah, they have a computer that reviews the footage and makes the call.

    5d4ec3b2d9e10_VAR.jpg

    Seems like there is no point having linesman anymore, what if the linesman incorrectly flags for offside when the player is onside and doesn't shoot when they can? Will we see more players shooting after flags/whistles if there is a chance they're onside so VAR can review it?

    Stupid. Seems like they're going down the route the A-League did early on and reviewing EVERYTHING, instead of using it for what it was designed for. The big mistakes.

    They also forced a re-take for encroachment (via VAR) because it was saved and the encroaching player cleared the ball (right decision), which is good to see. BUT if there was no save or if the player missed the pen, they wouldn't have pulled it back for encroachment.............

    Watched the first review show on Optus. They now have a referee on the panel to discuss every VAR decision over the weekend.
