No idea how Portugese ones are but to say English ones are good lol. Compared to portuguese ones, they are a godsend xD yet we have had several in international competitions. Nevertheless, I still dont agree with such a level of review by VAR. | ||

Man City vs West Ham - Sterling flagged offside for the width of his T Shirt being offside Chelsea vs Liverpool Super Cup - Tammy Abraham is brought down by the keeper, ref gives pen, turns out there is very minimal contact and due to the VAR not having the right angle it couldn't do anything. Yet the tv broadcasters around the world had the right angle and confirmed it was very minimal contact. Chelsea vs Liverpool Penalties - The final penalty Adrian clearly has no feet on the line when he saves the final kick Wolves vs Leicester - Dendonker jumps up to head ball, misses it brushes off his arm, lands at his player he shoots and scores, goal ruled out for handball Chelsea vs Liverpool (again) - Ball is in the air, bicycle kick happens and it strikes Christensen on the arms, no penalty given. I mean that is just this season xD thats without that crazy penalty being given in the champs league final in which they confirmed in premier league like i said they would not give that as a pen via VAR. Grey area's in football need to be made black or white to completely fix VAR and the game. I agree it helps, no doubt but it also can cause even more questions. | ||

We have had this season 3 games where decisions being made are so very borderline or straight up different between games its crazy.

Out of these incidents, only the Sterling was really stupid. Wolves one was correct, even their manager was fine with the decision. So really just one stupid decision, How about you also list the mistakes VAR saved so far? Pretty sure the list is way longer than your list. Its always easy to only show one side of the argument | ||

I wouldn't be having this conversation otherwise would i lol. Season is only 2 matchdays old! But lets see what happens throughout the rest of the season. It's already fixed yesterday's match: the goal was ruled out correctly. That's already 2 correct decisions (the wolves one too) to your 1 bad one (the sterling). And I dont bother to look at the other matches. So even if thats all - thats already 100% more correct decisions than bad ones. And the season is only 2 matchdays old! Wow VAR really is the best VAR mistakes spark debates, VAR corrections dont, if a goal is ruled out correctly no one will ever talk about it. Thats the only reason we talk about VAR. Because people like to whine about stuff. Regard every topic humanity has ever talked about. The naysayers have always been louder than the supporters. We would still be working with stone tools if we hadnt progressed regardless of the negativity | ||

but that's not the issue with var tho, the problem is with the humans behind the game i would say that a big problem is that some situation look way different in high speed than in the replay, which might lead to questionable decisions, but more often than not is not about the decision itself being wrong but the magnitude of the decision (like a red card instead of a yellow because that slight touch at 20-30 km/h looks way harder in slow motion) | ||

so in situations that he isnt 100% on and the significance of the call is too great, he checks var. | ||

We were getting heavily overran in midfield with our lack of physicality. Kovacic should have came on earlier for mount!/Pulisic and go 4-3-3. They were ineffective because we couldn't control the game. | ||

Dont blame it on the liverpool game if chelsea have done it in all 3 games. Its Lampard's fault if he forces/lets the team do that Is that any similar to how Klopp played the first season with Salah before they sorted out the defensive side? Basically play with crazy intensity for 60 or 70 minutes, hope you're up by 2 at that point and then hold onto it for your dear life for the remaining minutes. For Liverpool it sorta worked with the Mane, Salah and Firmino trio, but could be less viable if you haven't got such assets available. | ||

What he is saying is fact. No system for officiating can be perfect. The purpose of using technology is to try to be as perfect as possible. Even if it is a 5 percent net gain in improved decisions (which its not, its significantly higher) then its worth it. Regarding the debates. Thats natural. When you have all of the additional information that the technology brings, the number of variables that go into a decision keep increasing. And naturally many will not be clear cut, debatable, subjective etc etc. And thats more of a problem with rules and their interpretation than a system that simply provides you more information to make the best decision possible. And even if that is indeed the case and you must make a controversial decision with as much information as possible rather than something based of the naked eye, particularly with the pace the game is played at now? And to repeat what he said. It is indeed true that there is no debate around the clearcut overturns because they are clear cut. If your going to debate the controversial situations you have to acknowledge the wins. What I would add is that if you dont do the above, its quite frankly a dishonest position to criticize the system from. | ||

Yanited game we just switched off and went to shit lol, vs Liverpool we took them all the way to 120 minutes looking at times better than them through out the whole 120 minutes. Yesterday is the only game where we looked tired after 45 minutes. On August 20 2019 04:07 Rebs wrote: I have to say, hes 100% correct Pande. All of your arguments are feel arguments.

I thought i was saying exactly what you just wrote....minus that it isn't a good thing to have even more grey areas than we had before because VAR ref A gives said handball and VAR ref b does not. Or the worse kinds where VAR "doesn't have the angle" to make a decision thus it stays with the on field decision. Offsides there was a post on reddit showing an image that depending on where the referee determines the ball being played denotes the offside line. ![[image loading]](https://i.redd.it/ol649tnsl7h31.jpg) | ||

I was super disappointed with VAR when it ruled out the last Man City goal for a handball, but the discussions here made me realize that ultimately the rules themselves are not always clear-cut and that VAR has done more good than bad the few times it's been used in PL. I'm also interested in the complete stats of its use in CL last year | ||
