VAR controversy thread 25/26 edition

[Andrew - North Hill]

Still don't know why Taylor give a freekick to Bournemouth after the incident, Ekitike was definitely not offside.

Because he's useless and all.

A Liverpool player handled it

If you watch it a Liverpool player handled it.So perhaps watch it before making comments

No mention of that here so perhaps you need to watch this and reflect, it came up off the Bournemouth players leg and hit his hand according to VAR which is totally wrong cause the Bournemouth player clearly and deliberately stuck his hand out to strike the ball, so where was the handball by a Liverpool player??

 

[PaulMatthews]

Just after he handled it someone on the halfway line jumped up to grab the ball

The Bournemouth defender didn't as much handle the ball, he actually attempted to deflect the ball, a deliberate act.

That video was painful to listen to, there was no claims for a penalty kick since it happened on the half way line. Also the player name pronunciations was awful

Nothing I have seen since tells me that it was not a deliberate handball

Been killing it for 6 years. Worst thing to be introduced in football probably ever.

I don’t agree the Palace player needs to be more subtle.

Shoulder to shoulder.. Chelsea player was well off guard.

Anyway the Palace player shouldn't have been in the wall to start with as the reason it was disallowed. Why didn't the ref manage that during the free kick?

 

[Darran]

I was waiting for that Arsenal goal to be chalked off for breathing on the keeper.

Leaning into the wall to create an angle to shoot isn't allowed anymore
Players aren't allowed to be within 1 yard of the wall

 

[SeaJack]

While we’re at it let’s bin most of the refs as well.

Their decision making is just as inescapably baffling as some of the VAR ones.

Take that free kick which was awarded to Sheffield United for a seemingly coming together of two of their own players. Completely perplexing.

Besides, I thought that they were introducing a new VAR rule whereby the manager/coach could challenge whatever decision is made on the pitch against them?

Now that would be a breath of fresh air for all concerned.

Tick box exercise. Read into it what you will.
