Time To Take A Stand Against Diving?

Yeah,there is something seriously wrong with the system when you get a booking for a dive if the ref spots it but a 2 game ban if he misses it and gets pulled up on tv evidence.

Against Celtic There was no chance that Fud Thompson was going to book Sinclair for diving and even less chance of the compliance officer would be taking a look either. But of course there seem to be different rules for the other 40 diddy teams in Scotland.

Watching the Liverpool game and I hope they never bring VAR in up here.

 

Liverpool got a pen for a tug on Salah when he was never getting the ball. Yet West Brom got a goal chopped off for the tightest offside but the replay also showed a huge push by Mignolet on Barry which was ignored.

 

It's just another way to help big teams.

I was thinking the exact same thing. As well as killing the flow of the game, there was nothing terrible about the 2 decisions that needed to be overturned.

 

Even in games like American Football, the teams hated it so much the got rid of it for a while until they worked out a way to limit its use. And that's a game where breaks are more natural.

 

This was shaping up to be a cracking game until WBA's 3rd goal was disallowed.

They didn't play enough stoppage time either. A 49 minute half despite at least 6 minutes of VAR time plus a couple of injuries.

Complete debacle.

 

And if the ref and linesman can't spot 6 players being offside they should be nowhere near the top flight.

Wasn't really "ignored", though, that's just the rules. For goal reviews, all the VAR is allowed to do is disallow it if there was an infringement by the attacking team.
