Basically agree with you Dave.
Not being a luddite and I think VAR has it's place and is(could be?) a useful
addition but but it's not the gospel
or new god and there needs to be a balance. Just how long is it going to take
to get this.
Certainly agree on thee offside. Even on the visuals afterwards it was so
marginal.
On penalties I have a feeling the ref's are verging to much on the side of VAR.
It was more or less the same
with the penalty awarded against the Netherlands in the England game. However
it is not just VAR but the
offside rule has changed as of this month. I have read a lot on this but this
from the Beeb's live text on today's
games lays it out quite succinctly:
Under football's new laws, which came in on 1 June, the handball rule changed.
The law remains that deliberate handball is an offence. But accidental handball
will also be a free-kick (or
penalty) if...
o the ball goes into the goal off an attacker
o a player gets the ball using his arm or hand and then scores, or
creates a goalscoring
opportunity
o the player's arm or hand is above their shoulder (unless the player
has controlled the ball
onto his own arm or hand)
o a player's hand or arm has made their body "unnaturally bigger"
Referee Jana Adamkova has deemed that Nicola Docherty's arms made her body
unnaturally bigger as she
went to block the cross.
