[Football] VAR set to be used in Premier League next season

[The Large One]

So once the ref has blown for offside, whether its right or wrong, there can't be a review.

Didn't know that.

VAR is there to review whether an incident (e.g. goal, penalty, mistaken identity etc) can be allowed to stand. Where appropriate, this takes into account an offside consideration. It's not there to review an offside decision on its own.

What would you 'play on' with? Drop ball?

And once the free-kick is taken, all arguments are over anyway.

There was an incident in the Carabao Cup between Chelsea and Arsenal earlier this year where an Arsenal player went to ground in the box for what looked like a decent penalty claim. The ref didn't give it. The ball just went out for a goal kick, but before it was allowed to be taken, the ref paused while the VAR reviewed the penalty claim. The original decision of 'no pen' stood. So in this instance, it was a NON-decision that was reviewed.

It could have been quite chaotic had the ball stayed in play and the pending VAR review taken place the next time the ball went dead. Especially if the VAR decided that it WAS a pen.

There will be some fun and games ahead, thats for sure.

That is where refs have been told to (if i am not wrong - this is what i believe has been said).. The review doesn't take place the next time the ball is dead, it actually takes place when the 'attack' has finished... so for example, if the opposition tackle, and it's given as a non penalty, if the ball is then in the middle of the park/ no one team is attacking the other, then the ref would stop play and review it then - rather than at the next dead ball.

Stopping open play for a VAR review is going to be a real minefield then, if that is indeed the case. You're saying a promising looking break could be halted in its tracks mid-flow, while the VAR goes back and looks at an incident. Or incidentS (what if something else happens before the review).

I've said before, VAR will certainly help in correcting some mistakes, as we've seen. But there are going to be other times when it causes an almighty great horlicks.

This was brilliant.

He wasn't arguing that it was NOT handball.

He was arguing that it was somehow harsh, because only the VAR correctly spotted the handball.

The dick.

Someone perfect it was him after his moaning.

dog shit manager that will take Southampton down thankfully.

Only if he blows BEFORE the goal occurs, yes.
