       VAR - Spurs vs. Brighton
   DIR By: guest379

       Kane scores mid-way through the first half, goal overturned
       after some 2 minutes (yes TWO MINUTES), for his armpit being
       offside.  Talk about looking for it from the VAR team.  Even the
       assistant referee shook his head slightly because he knew Kane's
       body was onside and dead in-line.  Hard to understand this as a
       clear and obvious error.
       Winks penalised for no contact on reflection on Schelotto and
       booked, leading to Brighton's first goal.  Why does VAR not
       check the decision to give the FK after the goal's been scored?
       Clearly this is a clear & obvious error leading to a
       match-changing event?
       Winks brings down Gross on the edge of his own box in the second
       half, clear yellow card not given.  Did Mr Scott realise he was
       wrong to award a FK and yellow in the first half to Winks one
       wonders?

       Do you actually know how it works?  Offside is black and white,
       there is no concept of clear and obvious, you are on or off.
       VAR cannot check a free kick that leads to a goal, they can only
       check what happens after the free kick has been taken.

       Still waiting for you to stop whining like a child who didn’t
       get what they felt entitled to at Christmas and answer the
       below.
       Nearly 12 hours and waiting bucko...

       Go on then - name 15 right here and now with relevant dates and
       times - we can analyse and determine if you’re not being a
       conspiracy theorist

       Winks should have received a red card as he was guilty of at
       least two fouls after his yellow card. Clearly there must be a
       conspiracy against Brighton.

       I really can't understand all the moaning ---VAR Rules and is
       ALWAYS correct. It is the future of football at the top level.
       Thank goodness that there is plenty of other football to watch!

       If I had even a single forint for the amount of times that has
       been pointed out on here to no avail I'd be able to able to buy
       half of Hungary by now!! (exchange rate 350Ft to £1!)

       Ok so clear & obvious does not apply to offside, why are all of
       these good goals being ruled out by VAR then?  Their imaginary
       lines, where a hand or hair molecule is offside, magnifying in
       to mm to see anything that's offside, spending 2-3 minutes to
       decide, then inevitably ruling the goal out.  What exactly is
       being achieved here?  Fans hate it, assistant referees hate it,
       it's against the spirit of the game, and good goals are being
       ruled out because whilst their bodies are invariably onside, a
       part of their body such as a hand or a hair molecule isn't!
       It's not football anymore.

       Just being pedantic, their hand can be offside all day long & it
       not make a jot of difference - it's only parts of your body that
       you can legally score a goal with that count as to whether it's
       offside or not. Other than that I agree with the sentiment!
       If VAR is to be used to determine offside then perhaps IFAB need
       to rewrite Law 11 in order to find a better compromise (not sure
       that's the word I'm looking for but it will have to do) between
       upholding the spirit of the game & following a strict
       interpretation of the LOTG if that makes sense - if not tough, I
       know what I mean!  ;D

       But they're ruling goals out when a hand is offside.  You have
       to give the benefit with the attacker were it's too close to
       call.  Graeme Souness came up with an interesting point - if any
       part of your body is onside, rule should be re-written to allow
       the goal, might this work better, quicker and easier to spot?
