VAR - It's Football But Not As You Know It

[MFKS]

Just about ready to give the game away....I'll see how it affects the EPL first.

I honestly don't care if a call is right. The overall impact on the dynamics and emotion on the game is huge. Rights and wrongs and mistakes are all a part of sport. I have noticed this season I have eased off celebrating a goal and it is a weird feeling.

I hope the plastics enjoy what will be left of the game in 10-20 years time.

I more aggrieved that of the 5000 penalties awarded in leagues all over the world that despite encroachment being rampant every ****ing time that this is the 1 time they choose to enforce it

Because you know full well that next time there is a penalty and we not involved it will not be enforced

[plague]

anyone take a look if BK was off his line for the 2nd pen?

Ams , The same incompetent overrated official who screwed us over on several occasions against City down in Melbourne earlier in the season. Hill kept referring to it being KGJ but was in fact Ams VAR tonight

I said it earlier on in the season that some of the reasons the VAR looks to involve themselves when identical ones are let go in thousands as the good Member said is worthy of seeing if any betting is involved. If it can happen in other sports it is " possible " i repeat " possible " it can happen here also especially when it is quite often the same officials making these decisions.

Ams never was and never will be a good official, He may have all the on paper qualifications but that is it. A feel for the game he has never had much like Beath. Always looking to impose there authority and make themselves the headlines.

whoa whoa whoa.

VAR was 100% correct tonight.

all y'all gotta go back and check your receipts on whether you wanted it or not.
because this is what VAR is. and if you asked for it, then enjoy it.

KGJ was quoted earlier this season as saying he would not call VAR for encroachment as "you would have to look at every single one".

So if he was in the VAR box.......

This is why it is shit....

And there you go... 2 ccm players in the box and BK out by more or less the same distance Georgievski was for the 1st penalty.
(Notice how Vargas can't be bothered)

and there you have it.

[MFKS]

and there you have it.

And BK should have been booked and sent off

Rules are rules

Issue is here they were selectively applied

Now if you gonna apply them the first time.... You have to apply all nit picking rules the 2nd penalty

[Jetmaster]

You could have had all 10 Gypo defenders in the box and VAR cannot call it if saved as no goal results.

Had it gone in it could have been called on George again.

It is just bizarre the more different scenarios are played out.

Have a look at the encroachment from mariners players in the second kick.

First call was technically correct, why was it not called in the second when defenders were back to defend a rebound?

heres where we agree. VAR is about enforcing all the rules yeah? so why wasnt it done here too?

If only the gypo CEO cared enough to follow it up.

This!!
Can't even celebrate a goal anymore. Once the ball has crossed the line its just "Oh wait there, I'm sure something will be pulled back to be analysed by the VAR"..

[boz-monaut]

I see it as an opportunity for more Bulut style hilarity

[Jetmaster]

This wasn't called earlier in the year was it?

And just to be fair.....Roy v Wanderers...

[belchardo]

for both of those kicks, were they saved and one of the encroaching players scored? if not, i suspect that is the argument that will be rolled out - george got an advantage by encroaching.

[Jetmaster]

A player does not have to touch the ball for encroachment to be called. Again it is the inconsistency in applying the rules.

Accordingly the call could have been made even if it went straight in.

Worked well in the African Champions League🤣
