Re: Time to get rid of VAR
If VAR is needed then why have a ref. on the pitch ? I really do not understand.

Re: Time to get rid of VAR
This is exactly the response the PL want. The PL and the big clubs don’t want it.
If we felt it was going to level the playing field, e were clearly wrong.

Is there actual data supporting this idea that it's not working? Or is this all based on how it feels?
Re: Time to get rid of VAR
Man City have just been denied a penalty by VAR, in what looked far more like a foul than Wood's today. That kind of blows my theory that they've changed the way it's being implemented out of the water.

Should have booked DeBruyne for diving.

97% said GOAL.
The others were from Leicester, Lower Darwen and the third was Madeley himself

Re: Time to get rid of VAR
Am I right in thinking the Ref didn’t make a decision on the ‘foul’ on Evans. Therefore how can VAR make a decision on something that wasn’t even considered by the officials?

Yes - the fact that we are having this debate, as are Watford fans, and that follows on from dozens of other contentious VAR decisions already this season.Imploding Turtle wrote:Is there actual data supporting this idea that it's not working? Or is this all based on how it feels?
Surely the point of VAR is that it reduces the number of dodgy decisions rather than creating them?
Do you honestly believe that if that goal had stood, there would be any serious complaints? You probably would, because you like to wind people up. But normal people??

Re: Time to get rid of VAR
VAR is just another cog in the wheel, along with the ' kick racism out' cog, to get rid of the true football fan, and create a media driven sport for the worldwide TV viewers.
Don't get on the racism bandwagon, that is just a vehicle for the next ban. ( I'm not condoning racism)
The Americans, who are now trying to control football, see the potential in ' tourist' supporters ( who will pay a higher ticket price ) over the season ticket supporters, to fill the grounds and create the ' Mexican wave' effect type of supporter.
VAR isn't here for the season ticket holder.

What do you mean, “data”? All that VAR has demonstrated so far is that refereeing decisions will always be questioned with or without the technology.
My point is that, at least in as far the PL have used it (I thought it worked very well in the World Cup last year) it is creating controversy rather than reducing it.

Re: Time to get rid of VAR
What i mean is that VAR decision can me measured for accuracy. For example, over the course of a season you can take all the VAR decisions and test them by asking a selection of professionals to evaluate them based on what action they would have taken with the benefit of video replays.scouseclaret wrote:What do you mean, “data”?

Then you can measure the efficacy of VAR by comparing it with the decision on the field and see how many decisions were corrected by VAR, and how many were incorrectly overturned. You can then compare this figure with the accuracy of officiating without VAR to demonstrate how much better or worse for officiating accuray VAR is in football.
This has been done in the past, and the results of which is why i was an eager supporter of VAR being implemented in football, but this was before VAR was widely adopted. The reason i asked you if this has been done is because you said that it is "clearly wrong" to think that VAR provides a level playing field, and i simply wanted to know if your claim is based on this kind of data, or if you were basing your assertion on your hurt feelings.

If my feelings are hurt it’s because, for the third time this season, my team has been on the wrong end of a contentious decision involving VAR that most people believe to have been incorrect, and we’re 3 points worse off as a result.

Re: Time to get rid of VAR
Just heard SD give his opinion on the Chris Wood/Johnny Evans incident. Two points. Whether Evans would have got to the ball is completely irrelevant. A kick or a trip does not have to be deliberate. The only ‘deliberate’ offence is deliberate handball. There is no offence of deliberate kicking or deliberate tripping. If the ref feels the player did those things deliberately the player is more likely to be carded than not.

Re: Time to get rid of VAR
If Wood goes off to celebrate to his right instead of his left then it's a goal.
My only hope is that whenever we concede in the future all of our team - including the bench, manager and all our supporters - immediately fall over. Hopefully there will be contact at some point.
Hey presto! We never concede a goal again and soon become European champions.

However, he was fuming in that interview so he was not as polished as usual in his assessment. What I think he meant, and what most people probably think is that a touch does not always mean a foul. Therefore, it does not matter whether the touch was or was not deliberate it should be whether the touch was a foul....it clearly wasn’t.
It seems to me the refs have reviewed some of the earlier season decisions that they got wrong (like silva at Bournemouth) and are now, more than ever, classing any evidence of a slight touch as a foul, which is, of course nonsense.

Re: Time to get rid of VAR
Only just seen it. I think it highly improbable the clearance would have been made whether there was contact or not.
That said, from a strictly technical perspective, even though the foul was both completely accidental and probably inconsequential to the outcome, it probably was a foul.
But by that reckoning, if, in the build up of a 30-yard screamer, in a completely different part of the pitch that was of no consequence to the action whatsoever, someone accidentally trips someone up, that goal should be disallowed by VAR also? Clearly not. I don't know where the line should be drawn.
I'd have VAR for offside decisions only, until it's better defined how to interpret it for all other things.

Re: Time to get rid of VAR
If someone is walking past you in the street and you stick your leg out as they pass you by, you trip someone up. If your leg is sticking out already and a passers-by by fails to avoid it, they trip over you. The rules state that a foul occurs when you trip another player so although there was contact, plainly Wood does not trip Evans as there is not the slightest intent as Dyche said there is no motion towards the opponent.
At the very least there is scope for doubt and therefore it is not clear and obvious that Fatty Moss got it wrong by not penalising Wood.
Meanwhile Vertongen clearly and obviously assaults a Watford player, gets nowhere near the ball and the refs error is backed up.
So yep get rid of VAR for fouls as it's not working.

Re: Time to get rid of VAR
I know what you mean. If 100 referees saw the last minute penalty at Wolves on a video, I'm sure most wouldn't consider it warranted a penalty, but we mostly, if grudgingly, accepted it on the clear and obvious rule.
Looking at the benchmarks elsewhere - like Spurs today - there is no way on earth ours qualifies as a clear and obvious error by the on-field ref, who didn't give a foul.
VAR is throwing up all sorts of questions that hadn't been thought through properly before it was introduced. (But so far we have been unlucky, no doubt about it.)

Re: Time to get rid of VAR
I honestly thought that VAR would end clearly wrong decisions that always seem to favour the big clubs. Instead it has led to them getting even more dodgy decisions. The very slightest reason to go against us and they do. The very slightest reason to side with the bigger clubs and they knock themselves out to favour them, especially the top six.
Wood completely unintentionally barely touches Evans, who falls like a sack of spuds and was clearly nowhere near getting the ball, the goal disallowed!!
Vertonghen fouls Delofeu 3 times in a couple of seconds with the ball still in play and winnable in a dangerous position. No penalty!!
Alli clearly and deliberately controls the ball with his arm, bringing his shoulder forward at the time of contact. Goal stands!!
They use this "clear and obvious" nonsense when and if it suits them.
It's ruining football for me.
As for Shearer and the rest on MOTD, they must be watching different footage to the rest of us!

Can anyone remember what the dodgy/ bloody awful decision monitor was like at this stage of last season.
Is that 2 for VAR - effectively 1 when we use the credit from the overturn at Villa? Yes I know it was offside but that would of stood last season.

Re: Time to get rid of VAR
Again people are forgetting what was implemented at the beginning of this season.
If in the build up to a goal an offence is committed by an attacking team the goal will not stand. They even removed the ‘deliberate’ from the offence of deliberate handball. Whilst keeping the term ‘deliberate handball’ before penalising a defender, stating that the penalty awarded in the Champions League final would not have been awarded over here. Have we already forgotten the Man City ‘goal’ against Spurs this season?

Do you happen to know if there's any allowance made for how relevant that offence is?

Whilst keeping the term ‘deliberate handball’ before penalising a defender, stating that the penalty awarded in the Champions League final would not have been awarded over here. Have we already forgotten the Man City ‘goal’ against Spurs this season?
That's part of the problem with this one - leaving aside for now whether it was even a foul, it is highly likely it would have gone in whether Wood touched him or not, but no allowance seems to have been made for this.
The decision was unfair, don't get me wrong, but I do have (a tiny bit of) sympathy for the position the VAR person was put in.

Re: Time to get rid of VAR
I don't understand how you guys can reach the conclusion that Evans was never getting to the ball. It seems pretty clear that it was certainly possible he could have cleared it. It was less than a metre from him when he was fouled.If it be your will wrote:Do you happen to know if there's any allowance made for how relevant that offence is?

It's right there in front of him. Maybe he wasn't getting to it anyway, but i think the idea that it was so unlikely that the referee should be able to decide he wasn't is just fantasy https://imgur.com/knxgNv9" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Re: Time to get rid of VAR
I’m still to understand what offence was committed by the attacking team. Anywhere else on the pitch that is play on so why, just because someone dives and then remonstrates with the incompetent ref, does it become an offence....

Wood tripped him. If you can't understand that yet then i don't think anyone on here is qualified to help you.
