VAR has to check back to the last point the ball was put into play. Simple enough rule, applies equally to everyone.

I agree it seemed quite far to go back to call the offside, yes his foot was offside but I’d be annoyed if we had a goal like that disallowed.

But this is the current rule albeit seems to be implemented badly at the moment.

It was offside as judged by current rules.

The bigger question is is VAR making the experience of watching football better or worse?

I think it is making it worse at the moment

It`s nothing but a tool to ensure Pool win the league

And I dont understand the rules for using it... For example why did VAR not review the Abraham incident? I don't think it was a pen, but why not review it?

I think it’s fair - even as a Chelsea fan. It was offside - no goal. I’m not going to moan about it like the entitled Spurs fans yesterday.

Why was Adrian not red carded for the out of control and reckless challenge on Abraham

Every potential controversy is reviewed in the VAR room. The fact they didn't call the ref over to take a look will have been because they didn't feel he'd made a clear and obvious error.

The offside rule is to eliminate goal hanging, how was that goal hanging?? Marginal offside rule needs chucking in the bin. VAR is for the clear and obvious errors, how was Mount's toes a clear and obvious error?

It might technically have been offside but who would have spotted it in real time and who would have complained if it had been given had there been no VAR?

Bearing in mind it was supposed to be, to pick up on clear and obvious errors, why is it used to scrutinise certain decisions that take 3 or 4 minutes to decide?

If I could make an adjustment to the system it would be that the VAR times out after a set time, for example 30s. I would suggest that if a panel of video referees looking at video can't tell after a time frame like that, then it's not clear and obvious!

What would have happened if Liverpool cleared the ball and scored on the counter? Would they have pulled it back for sporting an unfair advantage?

posted on 22/9/19

The problem... or rather one of the problems. Is that when a goal is overturned like that it’s the equivalent of the team benefiting scoring. So they get their tails up and the next few phases of play swing in their favour

They need to be ruling it out straight away not waiting for it to hit the back of the net, that’s where the benefitting side can really get an unfair advantage

I can't really say, tbh. I'd appreciate tv broadcasters having a proper VAR expert to talk viewers through the exact workings of the system. Former refs just tend to be way too corporatist. But it seems to be in the broadcaster's own interest to keep even their own pundits misinformed.

Before VAR the linesman would have flagged for offside and we wouldn't be having this conversation.

The difference is the same.

So you think a linesman could have spotted that, that was offside? And the $purs disallowed goal yesterday, Lingaards goal for England and a few others that have been highlighted this season?

Linesmen used to flag offsides like that all the time. Sometimes they'd get them wrong with a marginal onside.

Let's not try to rewrite history here.

They wouldn’t of changed it if it worked before

Nobody said it did, thanks.
