Inigo 32,675 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Quite alot of the issues with VAR decisions are fans just not knowing the rules and thinking VAR is wrong when it isn't. I include myself in that btw. One Jock Wallace and dougie76 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough but that's a honking rule then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially all you're doing is initiating contact with the player who isn't going to be able to stop his swing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd need to watch it back, but from memory of that particular incident Morelos is allowing the ball to come through his body so he can receive it and their player swipes at it and him from behind. Would probably need to see a few different instances of the rule in practice to make a judgment but if you're the player who has got there first to protect the ball I think it's harsh to be the one penalised.

The Dortmund guy had posession, was kicking to pass it back to his goalie, and Morelos darted in and planted his foot between the ball and the swinging leg. Didn't get there first as such, the Dortmund player has possession and Morelos just kind of places his foot in the way mid swing so that literally the only thing that can happen is the Dortmund player kicks the back of his leg.

If you haven't gained possession of the ball you are impeding the player from playing the ball. It's one of the few rule changes I've supported in the last few years.

Brackley Bluenose 4,479 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 4 hours ago, GOAT said: Rangers need to address this shite before it costs us something by VAR or referees shiteing themselves from giving us big decision incase it causes controversy. yesterday was a stone wall penalty, hand bigger than the body, it it’s hit it. Penalty. End of. yesterday was a stone wall red card, he goes in high studs showing and catches him could have been nasty. End of. The Ryan Jack tackle, i honestly wouldn’t have too much complaints if he was sent off for that, but at the same time I know why he wasn’t. It was low and not high like the the St Johnstone player. every story since is full off it being a day of controversy. It wasn’t, it was a day of correct decisions, but no surprises considering our media is full of Rangers haters and tarriers. We’ve had plenty of decisions go in our favour since the introduction of VAR Somemightsay7 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somemightsay7 2,552 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I don't think you can use yesterdays game as an example for this, I think most would agree VAR was favourable towards us. Whether you believe the fouls were reds or not, I think the majority would agree they were as bad as each other and should have been given the same punishment. There's media scrutiny in every country on VAR. Just look at the Utd vs City game the other week. On the whole VAR has benefited us since it came in and we've had very few calls go against us. It was never going to fix everything but on the whole it's been an improvement. I don't think the views of a couple pundits is worth getting worked up about.

But your right wait until it happens before the uproar. the point of this is the pressure already being put on var and referees, not that the decision is going to happen eventually.

He's a troll and an idiot but sometimes will be right, purely by laws of average - never a penalty and be disgusted if that goes against us. Red card was borderline and again would not be happy if we got a man sent off for that. Jack's tackle never a penalty in a million years, debateable if even a bookng - he stretched for the ball looking at it, with full control, not his fault the boy ran on his blindside and got in the way.

I’ve not seen it but we know the truth won’t matter as it will mask the two wrong VAR decisions given to them over the last couple of weeks. It is true, they want all the decisions and not just the right ones. I’m 100% behind VAR and understand even with VAR humans will still make mistake at the time of the decision. Explanations should be given days later on VAR and other major talking points. If mistakes are being made then the refs need penalised. scottyscott1963, Negri's lovechild and Hadron Collider 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
