The Footie Thread

I had a piece of Burnley @6's and doubled with Leicester @Ev's to pay 13/1?

0-0 at 16s, a saver on 0-1 when we went down to 10 men, dont feel any better for it though

Please, don’t be too hard on the Arsenal players. They were up against one of the great teams ??

Once the corner is taken then VAR can’t go back before that to a previous passage of play.
Corner, Yes or No, is not one of the 4 categories for VAR to review.

Seems a bit silly .
VAR can give offside if they score.
But can’t give offside if they get an unwarranted corner/ free kick.

Without getting in to another VAR Debate, the following is from the PL:

All 380 Premier League fixtures in a season will have a VAR, who is constantly monitoring the match but will be used only for "clear and obvious errors" or "serious missed incidents" in four match-changing situations:

Goals
Penalty decisions
Direct red card incidents
Mistaken identity

It would probably help if we tried to remember these and save ourselves some stress.

VAR is not used for everything.

The offside in its current format is a stupid rule. Its only a matter of time before a player gets injured when he should've been flagged for offside and play stopped.

Totally agree, in its current use it’s not fit for purpose, should be all or nothing for me, but how many interuptions would there be if it reviewed every decision?

Yes we all know this
But might as well not give the Lino a flag as they are redundant now.
Some can’t even see the ball go out from the keeper ask David Moyes.
They have messed with the rules that much to suit Var it’s ridiculous

I'm all for the linos keeping their flags down for the really tight ones, but the obvious ones need flagging for.

There's way too many not so close ones being allowed to play on.

Pre VAR I thought the offside calls were fairly consistent.

Even if the flag goes up players should play to the whistle.
Any Var can be sorted later.
But someone’s going to get hurt by an unnecessary tackle when he was 5 yds offside.
It’s a stupid rule.

Obviously we don’t all know otherwise Colchester wouldn’t of asked and for those who knew,(not you) why keep getting stressed about the ones not in their remit?

The ref can't blow till the flag goes up.

It gives him the option though to play on if it’s tight
Or let it go and let VAR sort it out.
Or blow up if it’s obviously miles offside.
Atm it’s a mess.

How will he know if its tight, hes usually 10yards behind play?

Refs and linos make mistakes, they're human playing a game at a high pace, they've got to me decisions in the spur of the moment.

Thats what they're currently doing, though its a farce.

Arsenal 75/1 to be relegated? Discuss lol

Yes I accept they make mistakes .
It’s the ones where they are miles off that’s just stupid

They're safe. Just. ??

I think with a few new faces in Jan and a bit of time Arteta will get it right. You can't keep swapping and changing mangers

Not sure Arteta will see January Even less sure well spend much in January (70% of our players should be for sale though!!)

Agree re not swapping managers, was never our style. Still not convinced by him, less so after the XI he picked today but not certain he has full control and think the bigger issues are higher up in the club, have been since Dein walked away

No, but is mis-used for everything.
