[Frostie]

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.

No it hasn't, the use of VAR and incorrect decisions by VAR officials has

 

[mark82]

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?

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.

 

[wingy]

It comes to something when a pair of buffoons like Rooney and Richards are the voice of reason

Listening to the wrong side mate!

 

[MalcSB]

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.

They’re singing the EMC song!

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

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

 

[wingy]

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!

 

[Paul Anthony]

What was O'Riley trying to do? Surely you just have the shot there?

 

[mark82]

Debut in an FA Cup final. Mad.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

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.

 

[wingy]

You're advocating complete automation then ,in reality?

 

[wingy]

I hope we get Extra time then.

 

[Frostie]

But it's impossible. You're just adding another layer of subjectivity on another.

 

[ovduk78]

You're advocating complete automation then ,in reality?

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

 

[Terry_dactyl]

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.

 

[MalcSB]

Another good save

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Another good save

Straight at him

 

[Terry_dactyl]

It’s a decent cup final

 

[ovduk78]

That should be KDB off!

 

[Terry_dactyl]

That should be KDB off!

That definitely should be!

 

[Frostie]

Was the Dasilva one more obvious than that one?

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?

No.

Palace fans are great.

They really are.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Man City fucking about with it too much.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

10 addee

 

[MalcSB]

Songs seem a bit non descript.

 

[oscillatewildly]

10 minutes?! That's nearly an arm full!

 

[Terry_dactyl]

I’m enjoying this. While I want palace to win I’d like it to go to extra time.

 

[Evo1883]

I really really really want palace to hold on here

 

[stupot07]

Eze is so good.
