Jambomo Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 At any point though, have they even bothered to suggest turning over to watch Porto v Roma which is in extra time?Nah, they have only talked about this one so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry94 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 That was brilliant absolute scenes. Regardless of it being very harsh, the whole VAR process was great fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s also obvious that the refs are interpreting the law in a completely different way to how it’s written down in the rule book. Handling the ball involves a deliberate act of a player making contact with the ball with the hand or arm. The following must be considered: the movement of the hand towards the ball (not the ball towards the hand) the distance between the opponent and the ball (unexpected ball) the position of the hand does not necessarily mean that there is an offence It literally says right in the rules that the position of the hand doesn’t make it an offence, yet time and time again you hear the pundit refs going on about the position of the hand. If they want to give non-deliberate handballs then fine, but if that’s the case then they need to update the laws of the game to show that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamamafegan Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I'm in the VAR's absolutely shite camp. It's an absolute farce having to fanny around waiting to see if it's a goal or not. It takes away the joy of scoring a goal. It's not a game of fucking rugby. I really hope it doesn't come to our game. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's absolutely awful and for the plastics who stay at home on their sofa. I'd rather Hibs get screwed over 1000 times by bad refereeing than have to not celebrate a goal in case a magical box rules it out. Great point mate. Shocked by how many people who watched the game on TV are so excited about an English team getting through. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over and above the actual written laws that we plebs can see, the refs apparently get sent interpretations of them that we are not party too apparently. That's where stuff like the 'natural position' crap comes from. It doesn't quite render the actual laws useless but it's not far off it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harsh but correct. He should have taken it in the face like a real man Irrelevant. And his arm being away from his body? Can you show me any footballer ever who runs/jumps with their arms glued to their side like a penguin? When the ball hits him his arm is a few inches away from his side. Where would you expect it to be? Edited March 6, 2019 by Diamonds are Forever 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I get that, but they're both on BT Sport, it wouldn't be advertising a rival. Surely a quick wee "by the way, there's still live football on the other side" would have been a good idea. Anyway, another dodgy VAR pen looks like it's deciding this one. Definitely right to check it, but why do refs lose all common sense when they get in front of a screen?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the law is on paper almost all handballs aren't handballs. Refs are obviously being told to interpret it differently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
