Spurs and VAR

[daryl hannah]

I think VAR is short for "Variable"

 

[UncleBuck]

I just don’t see how someone who is supposedly qualified sitting in a nice comfy chair can watch a video of an incident and still get decisions wrong.
Trouble is I don’t think any of the refs in this league would be strong enough to overturn one of their own decisions even if they were allowed to look at the screen themselves!
There have been so many incidents already this season that have been wrong, they can say ‘teething issues’ or whatever but ultimately whoever is sitting in Heathrow should be replaced after a poor decision.
Why are they in Heathrow anyway?
Why doesn’t the var official sit pitch side during a game?
I’d sooner have a couple of ex pro’s doing the var, at least they ‘get it’, I don’t think today’s players would get their decisions though.
To say it’s a complete mess is probably the understatement of the year!

The only clear and obvious error it failed to address yday was Son red card imo.

The only other error was Everton should have had a pen.

you don't think Son was fouled?

he made enough contact, and had he given it that the rest of the game would of changed, even if it meant we lost, a good chance Son's season wouldn't be damaged after the Gomes tackle

If Son had gone down on the initial contact he'd have got it but it was so obvious he had balance and then leapt from his right foot. They were right not to give pen.

ok will agree to disagree

That Dele handball was the right call IMO

The clue that it wasn't clear and obvious was in the 3 minutes it took to analyse it. Nobody can say for absolute fact whether it touched mina first.

the incident with Sanchez and Richarlason in the box could go the other way on another day, especially if Dean had been in the VAR room.

Plus Mina impeded him anyway

I did think the Sanchez tackle on Richarlison was a penalty though

You know I added that then deleted it as I wasn't certain but I did feel that way also.

I didn't I thought Richarlison trod on Sanchez, also Richarlison thankfully handed helped himself by spending half the time on the floor. Thought Sanchez dealt with him well but that moment was certainly hairy.

It’s one of those where anywhere else on the pitch and it’s a foul

Saw something about the video framerate being mentioned in Son's thread and it really is puzzling at this age of camera technology, they are still trying to freeze frame from 25 (or 50) fps footage and check. Especially the long decision on whether Dele handballed. There is no way that frame shows any accuracy when the visual of the ball is already motion-blurry and stretched.

If VAR is about precision of fairness, they must be similarly supported by high level of precision in the equipment. When iPhone 11 is capable of 240fps at full HD, there really shouldn't be any reason the cameras used for VAR to be anything less than 720fps.

 

[Gassin's finest]

I reckon the VAR ref's are just those Sky Sports FanZone things, with two lads fighting over the microphone.

As the guy was throwing himself to the ground every two minutes I'm pleased that it wasn't given. How the ref can continually just wave play on - surely at some point you either give a foul or a book the guy for simulation?

that’s not the rules though.

did the defender win the ball - no

he’s made contact and influenced the game. If he hadn’t dived in or wasn’t there. Son wouldn’t have fallen over.

So should have been a penalty regardless of Sons actions.

Yes but the tackle didn’t make him fall. So he hasn’t prevented son from doing anything. Son chose to fall to the ground.

i don’t believe diving should be encouraged - even if it’s my team.

So should Son have been given a yellow for simulation?
