Video Assistant Referee
Watching Mexico v Russia
How awesome is the VAR!!! Goal ruled out by VAR due to close offside incorrectly ruled inside by the referee in the first instance.
Proving to be a really amazing use of tech. The sooner it comes in around the world the better.
Noting also that it doesn't take more than 30seconds to review which is good

Re: Video Assistant Referee
What if it was the reverse? Say the referee called offside but the VAR to show it wasn't but the defense stopped because the referee had blown the whistle... surely that decision couldn't be overturned.Chico wrote:Goal ruled out by VAR due to close offside incorrectly ruled inside by the referee in the first instance.
I tend to go off on a tangent
Re: Video Assistant Referee
This is a good point and nothing's perfect, we may have to accept that these situations will arise and nothing can be done. However I do tbink that with the VAR the assistant referees will feel more confident in providing advantage to attacking team if it is really close like the one mentioned above. This will allow for the attacking move to carry out with the understanding that if theee is a goal it can be reviewedsin²x + cos²x = 1 wrote:What if it was the reverse?

I thought the same, I think this will lead to linesman erring on the side of caution and not putting up their flag for close calls.sin²x + cos²x = 1 wrote:What if it was the reverse?

That would be good for the game, as there is nothing worse than having an offside decision preventing an otherwise good goal being scored.
Better to score first and ask questions later. :wink:

Re: Video Assistant Referee
Definitely. We should review every decision at every stage of the game just in case someone makes a mistake.

Re: Video Assistant Referee
Much like cricket VARs been wrong a few times, still subject to opinion a few times and opened up new controversies. All it's really shown is that most linesman's decisions are well within the acceptable margin for human error.

Re: Video Assistant Referee
After the Chilean elbow only attracted a yellow card based on the VAR, I read a quote that there was nothing wrong with the V, it was the ARs that were the problem. Based on that decision, they clearly didn't know their ARs from their elbow.N5 1BH wrote:Much like cricket VARs been wrong a few times, still subject to opinion a few times and opened up new controversies.

Not a horrible idea, but if the blokes in the box haven't got a bottle of shiraz clue, what's the point?
