Just endless, endless, endless moaning about referees and VAR and referees and VAR. Do people even talk about football anymore?

Yup. VAR has ruined the sport at the 'top' levels.

The "Denying an Obvious Goal-Scoring Opportunity" (DOGSO) law in football, also known as the Professional Foul Law, was introduced in 1990...

For Lineker to say he had never heard the "Obvious" part before is embarrassing frankly.

Was the Dasilva one more obvious than that one?

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 was a possible goalscoring opportunity but not necessarily an OBVIOUS goalscoring opportunity or an obvious error due to the direction of play & the presence of a defender etc.

It probably should have been a red card but once it's not given on field it won't get overturned.

Baffling that Lineker doesn't know the laws of the game given how long he's been involved.

Too interested in making controversial political comments.

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

Clearly it's a malfunction of the system, emotional or decision based on Save the spectacle so commercial,it stinks it really does, but hey the kid's love it!

Looking at that Bernardo foul, I think I preferred it when ‘winning the ball first’ was enough for it not to be a foul.

You're advocating complete automation then ,in reality?
Click to expand...
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

Yes, when that is the case. So not this time, based on footage I have seen.

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.

Didn’t ‘intent’ used to be a thing for such fouls?
