Were you? Have they overruled anything like that yet?
Was a clear red card by current standards, straight leg, over the top of the ball. But VAR was never going to change the ref's decision.

The way VAR works/doesn't work today, perhaps it would be an improvement if VAR refs were required to explain their judgement on every decision they made during a game? "We decided to let the yellow stand, because...".
If they then do have a good explanaition, matters could be settled. If they don't - well, then at least everyone will know, and efforts can be made to ensure it doesn’t happen again. (theoretically, at least)

VAR was dreadful yesterday. Grey was a sending off and you can't tell either way on Son so how it can be given is beyond me.
VARs just poor, I rarely celebrate goals anymore like before at risk of it being overuled.
All the soul being sucked out the game fears are being realised

You can’t trial technology that hasn’t that level of influence at the highest level
They should run it in the background and judge it offline

Yes, you can trial tech live and I've done this many times online and that's exactly what VAR is doing.
The offside rule in its current guise has failed. Just as our early banking gismos did
Fifa or whoever just need to change/tweak it! VAR will evolve over time just like in cricket et al
It really isn't rocket science

When new versions of software fudges up as bad as this at my job, we usually roll it back to the previous version and leave it there until the mistakes have been corrected. The problem is that we have to sit this season out for this to happen, since they can't change how VAR is used or if it is used at all when it has already been used in the current campaign.

Do we have to sit the season out?
Did they not change the goalkeeper feet on line rule during penalties overnight?

Can't they just test the tech without using it on the game? Surely they can test it on offsides in a game without VAR to see how well it picks it up and review after the games? To use it for the first ever season live in the highest level of world football is silly.
The FA has a huge list of mistakes that have been made so far, the game deserves better.
I can accept 3 men making a mistake I can't accept 4+ who have technology when the promise was to make the game better not worse.

That’s exactly how I’d do it
This is in effect BETA testing with games worth millions of pounds

With the excuse that there is new technology coming out to improve it. Then scrap it till then. Otherwise its a sham.
An idea meant to make less mistake making huge mistakes....and its not just how it is being used which is wrong.

Indeed, i see/meet a lot of fans on my travels around the grounds and the majority are getting tinkled off with not only the delay to the games but the number of fudge ups it gets wrong.
Its perfection.

People can package it up anyway they like by saying its the Tech or its how its used but ultimately its not ready either way.
As I said before as a fact 98% of decisions are correct in football by refs, is this all worth it for the last 2% no chance

I agree

They did test last season and the season before at Stockley Park!
according to the referee company pmsl or whatever they call themselves!

I believe there was a set date, but the new laws do not apply to tournaments already in progress. The new laws are for instance not yet implemented in the Nordic leagues that follow the calendar year rather than the regular football season.

This is the best summary of where we are that I’ve read.

As I suspected, from reading the comments it's obvious that many, if not the majority, completely miss the point that the technology is not fit for purpose and continue begging the question with statements to the effect that "it doesn't matter if it's only millimetres if it shows you're offside." They don't understand the issue.

'Drawing a best-guess straight line is not accuracy, consistency, or whatever it is we expect. There is only a pretence of academic rigour here. Understanding and acknowledging a margin for error, incorporating uncertainty is a part of being precise. This is simply bad science ...
'There is a price to pay here for the most precious part of the spectacle, the miracle of the moment, the goal, the shared experience. Is it worth paying?'
Will the Premier League please take note.
