Admin phantom Posted June 12, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Just sounds like it will create more situations for the VAR system to be used.... Why do I have this horrible feeling that it will be England that suffers from some VAR controversy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snufflelufagus Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 If they are going to do this they may as well get ride of the linesman/assistant refs all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Seems a bit weird. So a ´tight´offside wont be flagged by the lino and will only be reviewed if a goal is scored. But what if a goal isnt scored? Offside is offside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 See they say stuff like this, just like the physicality in the penalty box at set pieces we'll see a few instances of it then it will start to revert to how officials act like normal.

Loco Rojo Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 All this will do is create more controversy. What's the chances that this is the reason England go out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won’t that also encourage the linesman to just not bother flagging for anything that’s even half close..?! Why risk flagging wrongly when you can just leave it to VAR..? Nonsense!

handsofclay Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 I proposed on here a year or so ago that I could see linesmen being sidelined, if you excuse the pun, and offsides only being given if a goal is scored and upon review someone was in an offside position and interfering with play.

Portland Bill Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 This WC is going to turn In to an absolute farce, I can see it already. Controversy is going to over shadow the actual football, it’s a disaster waiting to happen. Why not just leave the game as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTRFTG Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Absolutely nothing good about this. Leave decisions to the officials , get things wrong, let's have something to talk about. Let's also get back to finishing games on time, they already last 10 - 15 mins longer than they ever did and it's getting a pain in the **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, If a goal is scored after the non-flag it will still have been influenced by the decision, as the whole course of the game would have been changed.

Monkeh Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 sorry can't agree with this, Off side is off side whether tight or not and should be flagged as such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 I would rather they did something about the WWE wrestling at every set piece nowadays. Holding / restraining in the penalty area used to be a penalty, when did that change to the mess we get now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InCyder Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 This seems ridiculous. Surely it makes no difference if there is a very promising attack or a goal scoring opportunity, even if there isn't and someone picks up the ball from an offside position, everything following that would come as a result of said player being offside - how long will the officials allow the incorrect offside call to stand? Will they allow the current phase of play to come to its end? Just wondering as a player could be slightly offside, the same team could then knock it around for a couple of minutes ahead of winning a corner and scoring from it. Would that decision from 5 minutes ago be reviewed once the goal goes in? Essentially meaning whatever happened over that 5 minute spell was irrelevant, they'd essentially be trying to score for no reason as it would be disallowed upon review anyway. Would there also be more than one decision to review at this stage? Or do these calls (or lack of) get forgotten about altogether as they didn't form part of a promising attack at the time of the offside incident? Am I being stupid here? (it is early still...)

cityexile Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 It’s a nice through ball...looks tight that but no flag. He is through on goal, just the goalie to beat...o, that has got to be a penalty, the goalie has brought him down! The goalie is off! It’s a second yellow for that challenge. First thing the replacement goalie is going to have to do is try and save the penalty...steps up...scores! O, the ref is now going to have a look at the VAR on the offside... Umm. That is going to work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would check to see if it was off side first If the run was ok then thwkeeper gets sent off If off side then free kick to the defending side Simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 How is this good news. There is nothing good about technology interfering in games of football. Let’s go back to the linesman putting his flag up as soon as player runs offside, and sod whether he is ‘interfering with play’ and first, second, third phases etc of play. VAR is an abomination, as is for that matter the ‘technical area’ (a stupid name if ever there was one) and the fourth official and his silly little board.

Me too, can imagine someone wiping with wet wipes and attempting to flush the lot away along with a couple of 'Blini pancake' crap logs - causing a brown water flood and almighty blockage in the pipework beyond the U-Bend.
