VAR my Lord, VAR.
Dropping two to Liverpool already.
Yeah, the West Ham fans were all over that chant as well today.
It's pretty much the end of football as a spectator sport. All you do is spend your time watching to see if the ref has his finger in his ear.
That was beautiful. Play that game again 100 times and city win by 5+ every time.
2 on target from Spurs with 0.22 'Expected goals'
VAR shouldn't be going near that. Genuinely disgraceful.
Why not? It's clearly a handball.
More legit than the one Wolves had chalked off last week, at least the ball went to Jesus off his arm. Boly had no chance or idea about the ball hitting him.Originally Posted by John
It's not clearly handball, but the ball clearly hits his hand/arm, which is a strict liability thing now for that (absolute bullshit rule change but lol City). I doubt it's a penalty in his own box (unless given on field).
There have been some silly handball calls with VAR, but this one was ok I think. He plays the pass that results in the goal with his arm.
It's clearly handball under the current handball rule. Given it's impossible to police handballs unless they make it like they have now, I think it's the correct way to have the rule.
This is the kind of instance where a single game xG total is useful. It's just a shot count but better, and just tells you the exact same thing as what Spikey has said in the post above you.2 on target from Spurs with 0.22 'Expected goals'
This is pretty much it.
If VAR has to check things, it's better to make it as black and white as they seem to have. Still leaving it to an interpretation with VAR would see it being relatively pointless.
They do still need to do a better job of communication in the stadium. I know someone who went and he said all they got was a blurry photo on the screen and that was it.
Obviously the problem is the handball rule. Not VAR
What should the handball rule be?
It was fine as it was.
Exactly. This is horse shit.
It wasn't, there were constantly arguments about "was it intentional, was it not, does it matter" blah blah blah. Rose tinted spectacles.
And there was nothing wrong with the arguments. Same as with fouls etc. You can't make football black and white to this degree.
It probably is. Jesus had two touches in the spurs box for the disallowed goal. At a corner, in the last minute of the game at 2-2.
Do you ever shut up
What's happened to the handball rule?
If it hits the hand, it's handball.
Even if an opposing player twats it straight at the arm/hand of a defender?
Has anyone tried that yet if so?
It only counts for offensive players.
“I’m old school – I love the flow of the game and the enthusiasm. But if we want to get the game better I’m fine with it, but I learned after the game if the ball touched the Tottenham hand then the goal is disallowed which is absurd."
That's what De Bruyne said. Would it mean that the ball is just dead if it hit a Spurs hand accidentally?
It's like having my very own angry little Scottish coke head stalker.
They won't VAR it unless it leads to a goal/penalty so effectively it'll only be called if it leads to a major advantage.
Being back the migraines you nonce looking weirdo
What are you trying to achieve with this? You may as well go shout at pigeons for all the difference it's making. You probably do to be honest.
Where has this beef come from?
Wrong thread, but Tesco in Liffey Valley.
Literally no idea, he just started giving these sorts of replies to most of my posts in the football threads one day.
We need some good forum needle anyway.
I just think you’re weird is all. Nothing more nothing less. Well aside from looking like you get off on grooming children.
Glass house. Shards everywhere.
I'm well at peace with the fact I'm weird. I think perhaps you might need to come to terms with the same, given your extremely well-adjusted reaction.
Square go, boy
Is he trying to fight me?
Shank him with one of your wanky knives.
*Wanky chibs.
And then refuse him medical treatment.
He's Scottish, I can just sit back and let my extra 20 years of lifespan win the battle for me.
Sure about that?
Chelsea: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Zouma, Emerson, Mount, Jorginho, Kante, Pedro, Giroud, Pulisic.
Leicester: Schmeichel, Ricardo, Evans, Soyuncu, Fuchs, Choudhury, Ndidi, Tielemans, Maddison, Perez, Vardy.
I might be a wreck, but he's a wreck AND Scottish.
Fair.
That was a lovely header.
Shit's going to hit the fan with the handball rule once someone Maradonas one in only to have it chalked off because it grazed someone's little finger in midfield in 'the build-up'.
