No it hasn't, the use of VAR and incorrect decisions by VAR officials has
If they'd stick to just correcting clear and obvious mistakes (like the offside and, I'd argue, the handball) VAR would be fine. Should just need a quick glance.
It’s just reduced the game to a series of micro-controversies that you can watch in super slo-mo for 15 minutes at half time in lieu of any actual analysis of the game itself. And people love it too, most posts on here during ‘big’ games are just endless re-litigating of marginal offsides etc
Looking at that Bernardo foul, I think I preferred it when ‘winning the ball first’ was enough for it not to be a foul.
Yes, when that is the case. So not this time, based on footage I have seen.
Will be interesting to see if we ever get to see the VAR footage.
But it's impossible. You're just adding another layer of subjectivity on another.
No, I'm advocating only using it for what it was intended, ie clear and obvious errors, and the VAR officials coming to the correct decision using the evidence in front of them
Yeah maybe. Wrapped his foot around. Not a big one, just got me thinking.
It’d be great watching players smash others but getting the ball first…I didn’t mind doing it myself back in the day.
Of course. He's clean through, straight at goal with no defenders. If he wasn't clipped he would 100% get an unchallenged shot at goal so, unfortunate as it was for the accidental clip, it has to be DOGSO.
