Man. City Vs Bristol City : Anthony Taylor is the ref / Video Assistant Referee (Merged)

Not seen it mentioned anywhere but above will be used in our Semi with Manchester next week. I heard on Sky yesterday that it won't be used in the home leg as we don't have the required facilities.  What are we missing at ghe Gate? ( came to mind as just witnessed an offside Spurs goal!)

I thought it would not be used in either of our games as the 2nd leg can’t host it? 

This announcement from the EFL certainly suggests it's all or nothing...

"Both legs of the Semi-Final tie between Arsenal and Chelsea will, for the first time in EFL competition, involve the use of video assistant referees (VAR) alongside the Final at Wembley on Sunday 25th February after the League committed to support English football’s contribution to the live trial currently taking place across world football."

Totally opposed to VAR (and all technology at football matches). We can get rid of 4th officials, the ‘technical area’  and their crappy little board too. The last thing I want is stoppage for reviews of this and that, the like of which is used in sterile American sport such as Wimpball (otherwise referred to as American Football). To ensure Sky can have a commercial break we’ll be having a 2 minute warning of half-time next.

International and Champions League referee.

Last officiated one of our games in 2013 under S'OD when we lost 3-2 at Swindon (Nile Ranger last minute winner) - also only League One game he has reffed in past 5 years.

Prior to that did a few Championship games under Gary Johnson - 1-1 at Forest in 2009 (Danny Haynes last minute equaliser), home to Ipswich 1-1 earlier that year (gave them a last minute penalty), and also late in our Play Off Final season, 2-1 at Colchester when we went top of the Championship (sent off Bradley Orr for second yellow at the end).

Apparently AG doesn't have the resources for it.

(What they are I don't know:blink:)

What resources are required? Surely we just need a bloke with a walkie-talkie under the West Stand giving our goals and ruling out theirs? Sit him by a microwave if it looks more realistic.

The game is at the Etihad though? Or can you only use it if you can do it in both legs? Odd. 

Needs to be used in both legs.

it's Odd.. but we're talking about the FA.

EDIT :

Found this link

Doesnt explain much though.

My guess would be all top flight matches have a huge amount of cameras covering every possible anfor on a permanent basis thanks to the TV coverage. We had plenty of cameras for the United game but as they aren't fixed it's probably a ball ache to sort out the VAR and make it accurate.

Goal line/Hawkeye is a completely different and independent system which needs no human involvement apart from the ref acknowledging his "watch". 

What I find concerning is the fact we don't have a huge amount of officials in this country let alone high standard ones yet we are heading to a situation of 6 officials per match, in Europe with the pointless assistant referees on the goal line you are looking at 8!

Bit strange to have it for one of the semi's but not the other. Can see there being a bit of upset if the Chelsea/Arsenal match has game changing decisions made by the VAR and something important is missed in ours that is pivotal to the result.

Tbf, I thought we had Hawkeye or Goal Line Tech or whatever its called...

Surely that's what the VAR ref watches anyway??

@AdamB @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO can you confirm if we have VAR suitable tech please?

VAR is to help make correct decisions RE fouls, card so etc. It's being used in the Bundesliga. Usually the ref will make a decision and the VAR will check the footage and advise the ref who can then watch the footage again on the side line, or in some instances the ref won't give something and the VAR will review it when the ball is out of play and tell the ref. Think it's basically like rugby

I see your point, but I am assuming that the FA (and everyone else) expects it to be a fairly comfortable Man City win ( maybe different on a one leg game ) whereas the London Derby of two closely matched teams should be a lot closer.

Read somewhere Anthony Taylor is from greater Manchester.... of all refs they could have picked they pick one from Manchester?

I'm guessing he has reffed Utd and City games before - no big deal where he is from

As per title, thought the game was hard enough, but to give them a local homer??, even if he supports united he will be pissed off with us

 

Anthony Taylor (born 20 October 1978) is an English professional football referee from Wythenshawe, Manchester. In 2010, he was promoted to the list of Select Group Referees who officiate primarily in the Premier League

As it stands Ashton Gate is not set up to accommodate VAR, so both the home leg and the away leg at the Etihad will be exempt from using VAR.

OTIB for your eyes only!

Shhhsh... But we've got the 'important tech' at A G .....

Haven't you noticed the sometimes strange bounce of the ball at our home games? ..... & the number of times 'unlucky' opponents have hit the woodwork at The Gate in recent times? 

Coincidence? ... Nah, don't believe it, ... Just between you and me it's all down to Lansdown and his secret weapon....

Steve Lansdown sat high up in the posh seats, frantically playing with his joystick under his program (behave yourselves :nono:) ..he's remote controlling the flight of the ball with his high tech 'magnetatron'  and activating our 'special' goal posts.... been doing an unbelievable job so far!

Well Done Steve... The secrets safe with us on Otib, keep up the good work. :cool2:

 

PS... So please, Don't keep on about what 'tech' we have or don't have.. The last thing we need right now is some official idiot snooping around the place... O K ? 

Now delete this post before some Gas  *****r from the local rag reads it and puts it on tomorrows front page.

The Daily Mail have done the best article I've seen on how it works.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5223693/Video-Assistant-Referee-technology-explained.html

I guess we might not be fully wired up to the "Premier League Match Centre". I had assumed the VAR would be at the ground (as with TV umpires in cricket) but nope they're in a darkened room near Heathrow.

I don't know the detailed tech spec/reason is to give you a proper answer right now. All I know is that whatever it is, we don't currently have it!  I'll add it to the list to try and find out for you. 

@Matt Parsons BCFCSLO .

  Don't mention the 'magnetatron'  .... I did once but I think I got away with it!

Saw it used November when watching Cologne Hertha Berlin.

Cologne appealed for a handball in the box, red didn’t give it. They asked for VAR, when ball went out of play ref walked over to side of pitch watched a playback of the incident on a laptop and decided no pen. Took 30secs for her to decide on the decision.

Don't know what you're planning, but if its anything like I'm imagining then I think that's illegal under the Geneva convention Peg.

Sneak peak on Sky Sports now, Arsenal vs Chelsea.. Taylor the man in the middle. 

Has done pretty well so far. Seen through a couple of "dives" by Arsenal, perhaps could have given Wilshire a second yellow for his .

Trust me, he is absolutely despised by just about every single Blue I know.

Read into that what you will.
