Hearing the people talking also humanizes them, it makes their decisions less suspicious in my opinion.

The refs did absolutely nothing wrong. The problem is the time spent. What really took the most time was the offside call. The system the Prem has right now I don’t think the refs can go faster than they did either. If they go faster they will get decisions wrong. The Champions League offside system is much faster. Thats where I think there can be improvements, to the actual system. Champions League has a semi-automated offside system which makes it faster and even more accurate. Idk why the Prem said no to implementing this but imo this is the only way of improvement atm.

[@notreal1477]

I'd like an explanation of when violent conduct can be shrugged off as petulance? All I seen was a retake of the officating of the battle of the bridge where the officials did their best to keep tottenham at 11 men. Just like the ref said in his interview. "I'll let tottenham implode on their own"

[@strike50410]

Yeah referees are doing a great job

[@lolookphor]

Tbh if it takes that long to decide if it's offside then it had no bearing on the play and shouldn't be given. I know it's the point of VAR but the games become so slow. Every match has 8-10 mins added time nowadays

[@Goldsthar]

Well, to be fair, it was a pretty long play with many suspicious things going on, so, some time for the VAR to process it is expected

The margins are too close. A heel or a toe is not enough to claim there is an advantage to the forward. There needs to be clear daylight between the players for offside.

No wonder VAR takes 5 mins. They complain about the speed of the game and then use this outdated crosshair method to decide offside. Semi-automated tech is right there, they were using it in the World Cup and it's faster, it has higher accuracy and is more consistent.

[@GGMattt]

Possibly the best VAR decision checking I've ever seen, why can't they be this thorough with everything instead of rushing and missing things? Time gets added on anyway so there's no point rushing these decisions, they're not restricted by time in the match to get the right decisions.

This is why its important to give ref enough time to make a proper review and not pressure them to make a quick decision

The ref decides in real time. The VAR needs a bit of time to review but if it's not a clear and obvious error then it really shouldn't take more than 30-45 secs. In this case, slightly complicated because they were looking at multiple incidents at the sane time.

[@really4gt10]

Jackson was so far from the GK, he is almost near the edge of the box while the GK is on the line. There is plenty of line of sight for the GK to see Caicedo's strike. So a player can be between the half way line and the goal in an offside position coming back from play and his team mate shoots towards goal and score and he is judge to be offisde obstructing GK's view? There must be some extent to how this offside blocking GK view can be applied. Jackson was nearer the shooter than the GK.

im not siding with either teams here, but this argument ain't it. First of all, with the exception of a "benefit of doubt" scenario (rashford vs liverpool in united's 2-1 win over liverpool) where they wouldnt call an offside if both lines touch each other, there is no other "in-between" outcome for offside. Either you're off or you're on. Secondly, Jackson's position hinders the line of sight of the keeper, and therefore as long as Jackson is offside, he should be penalised. peace

im new to following football, but i just don't understand the foul on romero, everyone saying he's a dirty player so he deserved getting sent off which i understand i guess, dont see how it applys though. but what does everyone want him to do in that situation? somehow clear the ball and defy physics by stopping his foot before it follows through or alternatively not do his job as a defender and just let the attacker have a shot........ like enzo didn't even make an attempt, he ran up to the ball and just stood still waiting for contact

[@Patrick-qz6tn]

If Romero were taking a shot and his follow through landed his foot on a defender's leg like that, there's no way refs give an attacker a red card for that contact. Romero was playing a ball in his possession, Enzo made no attempt to play the ball or avoid contact with the progressing player. Take this a step further and players will be running into the studs of someone who just kicked to get the kicker sent off. Picture this, Salah shoots on goal, scores, but Romero lunges in so Salah's studs land on Romero's shin on the follow-through... you want to red card Salah for that?

[@mitchhak2]

“Just playing the ball in itself does not allow you to follow through in this way” Terrible call & worse explanation. Enzo endangers himself by simply standing in the follow-through zone of the kick. Happens nearly every time there is a successful slide tackle. Player gets ball first, follows through to take out the player. So if this is how they are calling fouls & dishing out reds then it should be the same for nearly every slide tackle, which obviously is not how football is (or should be) played.

It's so interesting and important to have the all process of the VAR. The VAR did a great job. The ref could explain it better :/

[@kayits2893]

That's offside line is bull crap.

[@jonanderirureta8331]

I love the transparency, I'd like for refs in La Liga to also publish their VAR process but alas they refuse to. I wonder why.

[@minimalistdad4925]

this could be like the rugby… include it in the game

[@saran79]

Romero escaped with a penalty not awarded for his handball against man utd. Justice is done.

[@Snotzalotz]

One of the most shocking decisions of the season so far.. then Arsenal get a penalty for a handball against him that shouldn’t be a penalty.. too many times things have went against United that have went for other clubs, it’s been absolutely ridiculous to watch.

[@carlosivansanchez42]

When are we having this in Spain?

[@wormayamakunga6358]

Sterling also deserve a yellow card for the dive😂😎🤣

[@Kalah_]

Honestly, when an offside is that close, I'd just let it slide. My opinion of VAR judging offsides: watching it twice in slow motion, and if you can't tell after that, just leave it.

[@arturoderobilant]

I am not convinced that this system of drawing lines is fair, as it leaves room for slight differences from one frame to the following one. Slight differences that can make a huge difference.

[@mal7175]

Blatant dive from sterling.. 1) should have been offside 2) yellow card for sterling & spurs free kick 3) red card to Romero ...factually the dive before the penalty rules it out because it was a foul committed before, and it should still have then been a red card for violent conduct. Hence why the people & not VAR is the problem

[@ginomoujik8488]

I'd like to have seen yellow for Sterling. Clueless VAR guy says, he 'stumbles'.. yeah.. when his stepping foot suddenly freezes in mid air instead of stepping.. But please tell me what Romero could have done? his focus is solely on the ball.

[@muhammadabdulrafay4623]

Ridiculous!!! It shouldn’t be that fine!!! It is taking the joy out of the game

[@MikeCrawch]

Oh man. That foul was brutal and definitely worthy of a red. That’s like some Sunday league tackle right there. However, that offside call is completely stupid. Offside should be just by the position of their hips, cause the hips controls the movement, not the very edge of their body parts.

[@shashankgautam2226]

Amazing VAR this one👍🏼

[@bro89174]

Yellow not a red, he won the ball but followed through unintentionally

[@MrDamo34]

To be fair that was good. The problem is that not all the Refs and VAR guys perform to this standard. In fact they’re mostly incompetent by comparison.

[@RyanJames-ki2db]

Its definitely a red card for sure and was a great decision by VAR and the referee

[@puiu26]

show us the ones they cocked up, there's loads of those
