Not working in Spain either. Benzema just had a goal disallowed even though the entire ball was over the line.
Did they change the "even accidental handball is handball if it leads to goalscoring opportunity" rule from last season?
all good. Can I just add that VAR is not being applied consistently which is totally baffling. Some games the referee checks and others not. Today the referee could, for me, just as easliy claim the final whistle had gone so all over.
its happened a few times in Europe, can also happen at half time, its rare but allowedWell that we do agree on, and i was also baffled that the game continued after the final had been blown.
Fair enough if formally changed. Seems to me like it would've been disallowed last season as it allowed Chelsea to keep possession inside the opposition's box, but what the feck does anyone know, reallyYes, kind of.
If it's accidental and there's some passes or a reasonable bit of play between the handball and the goal, the goal will stand. That's a change they brought in for this season.
For the Chelsea equalizer today, after it hit Havertz's hand, 4 different players touched the ball before it hit the net which I guess was deemed to be enough.

I'm finished with football.
"And Solskjaer has won it... once VAR checks it"
So many great moments in my life wouldn't have happened if I was waiting for fecking VAR to check them first.
VAR has sucked the big moments out of football. We can't get emotional and hug a stranger after a last minute goal anymore because VAR has to check it first.
And then there's the decisions they get wrong. A referee can make a mistake, that's fine. But for multiple referees to make a mistake after watching a replay 20 times. I can't handle it any longer. feck this shit
Such as?
No but when someone justifies the use of it as the game must have the right decisions, changed outcomes of games etc, where do you stop if they’re that adamant that the correct decision is be all and end all when it comes to a game of footballDepends. I'm just saying that VAR doesn't mean we have to check every single thing.
What happens if Oles goal was wrongly disallowed?This. Even though I am pro VAR - it really is taking the excitement away from the big moments.
It wasn’tWhat happens if Oles goal was wrongly disallowed?
But what if it was? The exact same scenario but the flag goes up.It wasn’t
Don’t know what you’re on about now. Ole scored wtf is this what if?But what if it was? The exact same scenario but the flag goes up.
You didnt not celebrate the winner either so lets keep up the make believe.
Thats a moment lost to time if a linsman has a mare, VAR is there to make sure those moments arent ripped away.
I’ve honestly read this sentence a few times and I just can’t make sense of it. What are you trying to say. What the hell does you didn’t not meanBut what if it was? The exact same scenario but the flag goes up.

And there’s just as much chance of VAR fecking a team over these days as there is to saving the day for another team
Have you watched today’s football? VAR watching handballs in slow motion fecking teams over.No there isn't. VAR is getting most calls right.
Lots of things to improve on but so far it successfully reversed hundreds of wrong calls.
It's a big success and will keep improving, checks will become faster and more accurate. In fact, it already improved a lot since day 1.
It's impossible to argue with VAR haters, they just ignore everything VAR is doing right and willfully ignore the reason VAR was needed in the first place.
How do you work this out? More accurate decisions when they get used to VAR? Or more accurate decisions when they get used to the rules?No there isn't. VAR is getting most calls right.

I still get nervous thinking Teddy’s equalizer was offside. Even after watching 100 timesIt wasn’t

This does not seem that way it is enacted in the prem...If this is the case then like you say anytime a player is caught encroaching when the pen is scored should be punished (and there are clearly no excuses of the ref not seeing it).I can only grasp that Rule 14 states if an attacking player encroaches into the box before ball is kicked, and penalty is scored, the a retake is required. Very simple.
A defending player cant sit on the line as referee has to ensure all outfield players are outside before the kick taken.

Nice try with your reverse example. My where does it stop is about the implementation of new VAR possible calls. Yours makes no sense and is on about removing whistles?It's not the be all and end all. It's just important. Saying "where does it stop" can be used against anything. You can just reverse it and say "So we should get rid of VAR? Why not get rid of goal line technology? Or assistant referees? Or whistles? Where does it stop!?" The answer to where does it stop is somewhere in the middle.

would you like VAR to also look at corner or throw in decisions? Or would you like them to look at incidents outside the box that could be a foul and second yellow? Or are you happy with just what it’s checking? I think both those can change the outcome of games too.
I agree, I like goal line techYou don't know what hyperbole is, do you?
I think it should be used slightly less.
Anything can be used to change the outcome of a game. Obviously we shouldn't check everything but that doesn't mean we should check nothing.
Only thing I can think of is intention but that's BS. It's just VAR being useless as per fecking usual.Can you tell me how it is possible for the EXACT SAME THING to happen within 2 seconds of each other and VAR can decide that one is a red card and the other isn't?
Was the VAR penalty retake justified tonight or should common sense have applied.No problem with your opinion really but for me it is a binary rule and so much clearer without a “common sense “ factor which clouds decisions. By your logic , a ball 1mm over the line should not be a gaol as common sense should apply. A player 1mm offside - the same. Its impossible to manage a consistent ruling if 3mm is ok and 4mm not..
Actually the only reason I detest it as it is so misused and flawed for miniscule differences in opinion.I'm finished with football.
