They are called Referees

Take them please! What a phenomenon it’d be if Saudi Arabia unintentionally cleaned the corruptios out by enticing them with what they really want. (Moolah)

Trust me on this guys, in other competitions the referees aren't that much better

For me the competence is one thing, but the bias thing is what really needs to be cleaned away so please saudi come and take all of them!

Sure. But the Belgian league is probably too shait to raid, sadly enough.

Okay after another offside **** up from VAR, the PL coaches just need to go to PGMOL and tell them to adopt the offside tech from the WC and completely remove the human element to these decisions.

I don’t understand. There must have been like 20 seconds between them saying check complete and the free kick being taken?

What was Darren England doing in that 20 seconds? Popping champagne???

And anyway what kind of stupid communication protocol is this. They should say what the outcome was and then say check complete ffs.

Plus on the TV screen it said clearly "Checking disallowed goal"... Not sure what England was doing...

The thing is it's not even surprising anymore, It's been happening for years and years way back to Wenger days.

They all used to laugh at Wenger when he used to complain about referees well nobody is laughing now including most of fans on the good end of these terrible decisions.

Until the fanbase as a collective pushes for big changes to happen it'll always only be the "Oh sorry it was human error" excuse. Well I'm sorry it can only be human error for so long until it becomes pure corruptness, VAR is just exposing it on another level now.

Like most of their excuses it’s bullsh1t. If Darren knew it was onside and the ref took it as offside. Why not tell the ref no I meant onside. There was more than enough time between ref saying offside and play resume

They want to make it sound professional and have its own language. All they need is to is it offside or onside. It’s onside bro. There should be zero excuse two professional refs have misunderstanding if a goal is offside or onside

 

[HattoriHanzo]

I don’t believe that this was the case.
Aren’t they commenting what they check?
Why the guy from VAR room didn’t communicate to the field referee that there was a misunderstanding and that he thought that the original decision was that the goal is ok?

Very happy to have Var. The FA can no longer ignore referee mistakes like before. United will also no longer receive preferential treatment from the referee. The mistakes before Var were even more terrible than this. Var is really beneficial for us.

Apparently they are looking at different screens though, so they wouldn't see the TV graphic. Don't think it's VAR who sends that graphic either. It was probably just assumed by whoever does because the call on the field was no goal so that had to be what they were checking, only it wasn't!

 

[blaze_of_glory]

I actually completely believe that reason, because it's the situation with the most incompetence possible. So it fits.

You are probably right, but **** me is it depressing! How the hell is this even possible? These are professional referees, mind you...

The amount of VAR calls going against United this season shows how much they are helped by the on-field referees until this day.

 

[Sammy1887]

I've seen so many ex-players calling to bin VAR (Wright, Bent etc.) Are they so thick that they cannot see the real problem is not VAR technology but the idiots using that technology?

 

[jones]

They are never gonna get any better lads...



...they will always be like this.

English Premier League ain't ****. Completely unserious competition, some of the calls made for Juve during calciopoli weren't nearly as bad.

Doesn't matter if it's corruption or ineptitude really at the end of the day neither is acceptable.
