OoooOoo /Shudder VAR Thread

I love how they suggest that one of the errors cost ETH his job.

It didn’t, the fact he was utter shit in all the other incidents of play cost him his job.

It’s interesting that there are far more missed interventions than wrong ones. I suppose the latter is worse, because they definitely do have the time to get it right.

Didn’t read the atricle, just scrolled to the bottom to see the table.
Fucking long winded way of saying Liverpool still won the league.

In fact it’s making a completely nonsensical argument as it is simply saying who was affected by on-field decisions being overturned.

It says nothing about whether those interventions were correct, consistent, and whether they should have intervened when they didn’t.

Theoretically, it tells you what the results would have been without VAR, but the fact it exists changes how officials operate, for example, allowing potential offsides to play out before flagging.

Are you expecting rigour from… givemesport?

The original source is even worse.

Thing is we finished our season on the 34th game, some of these decisions were spot on. And most goals will be offside and with the semi automated system there does seem to be less argument on that.
