It's an abject failure, but too much money and too many reputations to stop VAR now.

What? Not allowed to move off their line for a free shot at their goal until after the ball has been struck. It is only right and fair they should be given a reasonable chance to guess when that is. Under your suggestion a player you legitimately and legally run up to the ball go to hit it, just miss the ball, wait till the keeper has dived and tuck it in teh other corner. Farcical. The law exists it has existed for years, Son's penalty was illegal and was rightly disallowed and he was done for unsporting behaviour! |

What I didn't get, and will admit to not knowing the rules here, but I would have thought the ball was dead until it was struck? Therefore the encroachment and the keeper moving prior to it being struck would make the kick be retaken.
All very silly really, and Son was taking the piss, so no problem with the outcome. A an aside, if that was Benteke, he would have still kicked it to the side the keeper dived! |

I forgot to add, I don't know why it was a penalty in the first place, as the foul was clearly originally committed outside the box, but continue into the box. Surely the foul should be given at its point of origin, not point of conclusion?

"In general, the referee should determine the location of the foul based on what gives the greater benefit to the player who was fouled". However, they don't seem to do this for free-kicks, they usually seem to be placed where the foul started rather than ended. |

On the replay it looks as if Son is still moving, albeit slowly, rather than a complete stop. Says a lot when ex-refs, recently-retired players (Jenas on BT Sport) and current refs all come to a different conclusion. Looking forward to the World Cup when you've got refs from less-competitive continents refereeing some of the best players with VAR working with or against them all. Exciting stuff.

In the FA Cup game on right now, Eriksen plays in Son who shoots and scores. Assistant's flag is up as soon as Son controls the ball so the goalie stops and doesn't really try to save it.
Ref then calls on VAR to check. The offside itself is very close, the BT commentators themselves aren't sure but the VAR keeps it as offside. Fine.. ..but, if they'd overturned it, would they have given a goal? The goalie could have saved it (we'll never know). Everyone says play to the whistle but you see a flag up and players automatically stop. Would it have been more sensible to keep the flag down knowing that any goal would be reviewed anyway? at least then both attack and defence remain competitive.

They are taught that, but they don't do it. It will have to force a change, either in that they always play on or the assistants are instructed to keep the flag down because goals will always be reviewed. Whichever of the two is easier - you'd think players doing what they were taught on day one of playing football, but here they are as professionals and internationals and they don't do it often enough.

Complete farce with VAR in Germany tonight. A VAR decision awarded a penalty after the HT whistle had gone, apparently most players were back in the changing room. They were then called back to the pitch.
And to follow that the second half has had to be delayed due to a toilet roll protest against Monday night games. |

I can see the idea behind using it. But it really shouldn't be as difficult to implement as everyone seems to be making it.

you can always count on football authorities to get it wrong.

Was the decision by VAR right or wrong? Was it a clear error? Sounds a bizarre situation.
