Hard to argue for that tho.Anyway England are not gonna pass thru the middle here, they need to get a lot wider.

This is precisely what VAR is for/should be for: offside or not, ball over the line or not. But leave the "hmm quite a nasty foul but is it a red/penalty?" to the ref please.

It's gonna be a pen isn't it lol
LOOOOOL

That is absolutely not a foul. That is being close enough to the striker for them to clip you.

They’ve missed three of their four penalties. Probably good this isn’t going the distance.

Just on a very basic level the inability to celebrate a goal without spending ages wondering if its even going to stand is just profoundly shit for the sport. And I'm saying this as someone whose team have benefited from it this season.
If they're going to use technology work on one that can be applied instantly or not at all.

he should want to die for many fucking reasons, but I suppose no harm in adding "pretending to irish" to that long list.
― calzino, Tuesday, 2 July 2019 21:02 (six years ago)
even before VAR you had goals disallowed for offside, sometimes well after the celebrations had gotten underway. this doesn't seem tremendously different?
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 21:05 (six years ago)
in baseball if the replay isn't clearly conclusive then the decision of the ump on the field stands, and that's an explicit part of the process. does it work that way with VAR?
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 21:07 (six years ago)
(xp) Occasionally a ref would consult his linesman, but that takes all of 30 seconds.
― Orpheus Knutt (Tom D.), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 21:11 (six years ago)
i can see it (if not necessarily *like* it) in football because the goals are so rare/monumental
the replay reviews in the nba finals were horrific tho, as are many of the uses in baseball
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 2 July 2019 21:13 (six years ago)
VAR offside at least has a consistency to it but the England pen is a textbook example of where it doesn't work, you could watch those clips a million times and gain no certainty, just another layer of stupidly bad decision-making beyond the referee's
― Rory end to the lowenbrow (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 21:15 (six years ago)
yeah that seems like a flaw. it needs to be clearly one way or the other, otherwise defer to the ref. most of the angles on that penalty looked like nothing, but the one from behind looked like the American ran straight into White's legs.
