Rules VAR

[Kosher Kid]

Someone made the point the other day that if Bergvall's pass had hit the ref, the ref would not have allowed Liverpool's attack resulting from that block to continue.

So how the fuck is stopping Bergvall's pass with a hand whether accidental or not deemed acceptable ?

Every game now is a minefield of interpretations and elastic rules bent any way the clowns in charge on the day see fit.

It's Gary Neville and his verbal diarrhea virus that has led to this shambles in my opinion.

This opinionated areshole has become the 21st century Jimmy Hill.

A gobshite who talks a good game but often talks a lot of crap too.

Sadly those running the game seem to listen to him and are often influenced by his rhetoric.

We deserve better.

I wish Prime could get all the top flight football so Stadium FX could be used to block the twat out during the game at least.

I think I’ve posted this before but var needs to go.
All we wanted was for mad obvious mistakes to be ruled out, for example Chelsea v Cardiff where the striker was easily a metre offside.
Before var nobody gave a fuck on tight offsides. It was part of the game.
They should have two seconds to check and that’s it.

I remember reading an article expressing exactly what we thought VAR would eradicate , namely the WTF moments in football like when the whole world saw the Zidane headbutt but the ref didn't.

But instead we got ruled out goals and ten minute waits for offside toenails.

I suppose the timeless message in life is if you give overly official little pricks too much power they will ruin things.

Always.

The rule is wrong then.

Joelinton stopped the ball played by Bergval with his hand / arm. He gained a clear advantage from this handball which led directly to a goal. Allowing that goal to stand undermines the offence of handball regardless of the 'rule'.

Handball should be the rule the VAR follows not whether the handball was natural or unnatural.

If an advantage is gained from handling the ball then the current rule has to be wrong.

I generally agree wholeheartedly. I would love to see subjective use of VAR chucked in the bin.
I think what you're suggesting though opens the door to kicking the ball at players hands/arms in the penalty area scenario.
