Question re: VAR

Post by Smudge3920 »

So...heres the thing...VAR needed a micrometer today (again) to determine Roberts was offside... now considering that the pass came from the other end of the pitch how the hell can that linesman be watching for when the ball is kicked (released) to calling Roberts offside when vAR as I said, needed the micrometer and 3 minutes to work it out?...Its getting absolutely ridiculous.

It looked offside and from his body language Bamford knew it too

I didn't see the replay and am trying to find the highlight but everyone cuts disallowed goals out it seems for some reason. Must have been very close

Bamford was given offside, everyone acted like it was offside, including Bamford

They only showed one replay and it looked clearly offside, but sometimes camera angles make positions look very different to a 90 degree camera angle, so it may have been closer than it looked in that replay.

Bamford was offside, it looked like it in real time but it was closer than it looked. No doubt that Roberts was well on side when Bamford passed to him.

Ive just realised why overall VAR has hurt us more than we woukd have hoped.

Stockley Park, where the little hut with the computer screen with all the imaginary lines is situated. Is in London.

Its like playing down there every week :lol:

I like that Beckford slated the crooked line that was drawn to Costa's knee ...."My kid could have done better" or some such.
