Not a fan.I get that they want to get decisions right - especially with the money tied up in the game - but it makes games too stop start, and you almost cant celebrate a goal just in case someone's left testicle was offside.Also the lack of consistency. We had a very strong penalty shouy last week not reviewed, but they looked at a "potential red card" for McGinn which was a total non-incident. It almost feels like they pick and choose which incidents to review just to suit them.
If you start reviewing potential dangerous free kicks it will be much more stop start than it is now.
I've just seen the Man City 'goal' that was ruled out by VAR, and I'm not sure why there was so much fuss over the decision?A Man City player went to head the cross, missed with his head, it then hit his arm which then changed the direction of the ball, allowing it to fall to another Man City player who then scored.No goal = correct decision. Well done VAR.
The new handball rules are the fault of the EU, Ian Holloway said. He gets paid to air opinions like this you know.
The new handball rules are wrong in many ways and its not the fault of VAR that its technology is used to enforce it. Its been used twice against Wolves and Man City so these shitty new rules are here to stay for this season at least.The offside rule also needs a tweak with the implementation of new technology. There is no way that the default rule should disallow a goal because an inch of a shoulder, elbow, toe or any other body part was deemed to be offside. A person isnt an inanimate object so it cant be black and white like a ball over a line, so may be they should use a specific point of the body such as the head or groin.
