I never had a Stylophone but I remember an uncle of mine having one. If I remember right didn't they make a big one and a mini one?

From today's newspaper

The Premier League has acknowledged that the video assistant referee's decision to award a penalty against Everton in their game at Brighton was incorrect. … The Premier League has privately admitted an error was made on the advice of video referee Lee Mason.

Hands up, everyone who is surprised that VAR is unreliable. Okay, so that's none of us then.

That's one of the problems of VAR in a nut shell...in most cases, the decision still remains to be the opinion of one man who isn't even at the game, so they may as well leave these kind of decisions to the match referee and insist that he goes to the touchline to watch the replays.

Anybody just seen the farce at the Spuds game? Sheffield Utd equalise from a move down the right and it's been disallowed by VAR for offside by what looked like a toe nail in a phase of play that took place about 20 seconds before the goal. Decision was made about 3 minutes after the ball went in the net. It's getting farcical now, you daren't celebrate a goal any more.

It's all about getting the decisions right isn't it?

Football wanted it, football got it. Suck it up.

I searched "sheff utd spurs var" looking for a replay. Not much love for it there! Is that right, FOUR minutes to reach a decision?

Edit. Just seen devilla's post.

"Football wanted it".

Well I didn't, and it's an absolute farce.

Unbelievable!

How is this offside?

The bloke playing the pass must be really naturally talented to overcome all the drawbacks of the size and shape of those feet.

Le Tissier was defending VAR offside decisions earlier on SSN on the basis that it’s the only consistent part of VAR as the same rules apply to all teams rather than match officials bottling big decisions. The problem is that the offside rules under VAR are a complete farce and need to be reviewed and updated.

I do have a "serves you right" feeling about this. The endless berating of officials, refusal to accept decisions, impatience, hypocrisy and selective vision from managers and pundits lead to this. It was not needed and has had a negative effect on the game. VAR is like Brexit. Impossible to deliver what it promises.

As far as I’m aware it seems to be working with minimum fuss in 28 other countries.

Of all the foul play Laws, it's the only one that's binary, it's just always had problems with its human implementation and enforcement, which telly now magnifies, and treats like a dog with a bone. If you want something for offsides, it has to be along the lines of Hawkeye. Which could come in the next few years, I reckon. Impartial definitive automated decision delivered near-instantaneously to the referee, similarly to goal line decisions now. Just need some geniuses to get to work on those "interfering with play" algorithms.

Or massively loosen a rewritten Law.
