Sounesswhos anti spurs?
ridiculous idea. nothing wrong with yellows and reds.Hope they nip this sin-bin idea in the bud, sounds awful. Lets just sort out quality of refs and var assistants, automate offsides, and be done with it.
no he isnt. he has a soft spot for spurs if anything.Souness
It will always take away more than it gives
Just a general question. Have you stopped celebrating goals as much? I know i have. Rarely a goal is given without a hold up. All it is now is a little fist pump when var allows it. Sucking the joy out of it
Icardi was too close to the wall, Icarus famously of course was too close to the sunAnother glaring error in the United game yesterday. Icarus was not 1 metre from the United wall for Gala’s first goal - these fucks have VAR and can’t see that.
Offside can come in when they prove it can work. The remit was really tight for goal line before it was introduced and should be the same.Absolutely no reason not to refine, fine-tune and keep the offside process at the very least.
Taking that out of the ref's hands should alleviate pressure and improve performance; not worsen it.
No reason why VAR shouldn't be retained for off the ball incidents too.

Mission creep with off ball offenses, you do that and it will lead to red card tackles..handballs and then you're soon back to where we are now
How is that a glaring error?Another glaring error in the United game yesterday. Icarus was not 1 metre from the United wall for Gala’s first goal - these fucks have VAR and can’t see that.
When 3 players line up in a wall - it then officially counts as a defensive wall, the new rule is that an attacking player now has to be 1 metre away from the wall when the free kick is struck - Icardi was right next to the United player, barely any sunlight.How is that a glaring error?
It’s also not reviewable by VAR.
Just to add, all goals are reviewable and that would have counted as clear and obvious.How is that a glaring error?

So as a ref I should ignore the rules - you sound almost over qualified for a position as a VAR ref.With due respect Richard Richard
If you would be checking whether an attacking player is 1m or less away from the wall as a first check as a VAR, it may explain why you are receiving a lot more dissent than usual in youth football than your peers as you describe above in your sin bin experience, as reading between the lines you seem to be bringing a lot of it on yourself.

They are not rules.So as a ref I should ignore the rules - you sound almost over qualified for a position as a VAR ref.
I’m not sure what else you would check as a VAR ref on a free kick - it’s the most likely offence to occur on a free kick from a central position. The problem is people don’t know the rules and I include some of these VAR refs.
It’s not reviewable. It’s up to the center ref to make this call.Just to add, all goals are reviewable and that would have counted as clear and obvious.
Icardi is blocking Onana’s line of sight as well - so it has huge ramifications. The thing is United didn’t even appeal, their own players don’t know the rules which shows how overly complicated the game is being made now and why this stuff happens more and more. We should be simplifying not complicating the game
