If the leg is anywhere near then sure.. Every time I've seen it happen the leg has been far enough in front that there's been no danger whatsoever.

What a load of ********, your 'guess which team said that' is exactly that. And you know very well you're stereotyping. At least have the spine to stand by your racism. I think that's fair.....that sort of comment is less serious than 'I'll break your legs next time". Warrants attention...

This is the lot of the referee. You're damned either way here. If you blow the whistle, then the defending team will complain that you only blew it because they stopped (and...well....they'd be right). Don't blow, they keep complaining. Do blow, and players are clearly telling you how to...

Hmm. Collina was very aggressive. He would get in players faces, eyeball them, even push them. At least Collina was always in control - this guy isn't, and the way he's responding to any perceived slight behind him isn't a good look. With Collina, you at least got the sense that he just...

A side note, you want to know how messed up VAR is in our country? White are attacking. Ball went to the PIOP who crossed it in to a player who scored. VAR allowed it. Also, watching video - there was no reason for the AR to be out of position. Incidentally, in a game that my team had we had a...

I'm not philosophically opposed to VAR :) Implementation in Australia continues to be shocking - and horrendously inconsistent. There's issues with it not being communicated to fans well, with it appearing to be used selectively to benefit certain teams more than others ('big club'...

Well, clearly not given it's still referring to VAR as a 'trial' :rolleyes:

well Shef linked the (outdated) handbook.....don't think much has changed since then

And your guess is based on what? This is pointless. Nobody here knows what the resolution of the Hawkeye imaging and tracking is - heck, wouldn't surprise me if it's different in different competitions with different cameras used. Hawkeye 2D is used in the HAL. Hawkeye 3D was used in the...

Hawkeye draws precise digital lines - far better than the lines the broadcasters use - to tell who is on and who is off

Well.....as we've established in this thread, the only objective aspect is offside position and whether or not the ball was touched. Determining interfering with an opponent is a subjective decision. As is whether a defender has nullified offside. So, no, not black and white. But given most...

Is there something in the gatorade over there? For the life of me I can't figure out what the 4 players at the start are all getting cranky at each other about...but yeah, this ref has a definite attitude problem. The getting in the face and eyeballing the player is a worry.

It was part of the play that scored a goal. Not sure what you're complaining about on this one..... ..... And why are you quoting a sports broadcaster on their LOTG comments? At least the handbook you linked demonstrated the broadcaster doesn't know what they're talking about. As always.. As...

Apology? You're arguing against your own post there. Maybe you need to apologise to yourself then? Calling for an apology because somebody disagreed with you - that's rich!!! 🤣Do go on, this is entertaining. Don't sprain an ankle tripping over yourself 🤣🤣 I mean, you still managed to get...

Err, you CLEARLY AND OBVIOUSLY have no idea how VAR works. So, you think that any tight offside decision shouldn't be reviewed then?? By your argument, no decision should ever be reviewed because if ti was clear and obvious then it would have been seen!!! CLEAR AND OBVIOUS refers to what the...

we have finals in all grades in Australia - number of appearances can be important for finals eligibility

Too many people think 'clear and obvious' means 'major'. I've always taken it to mean...once you see the footage there isn't much argument against it. Offside, a very tight decision can be clear and obvious once you see the footage. It doesn't mean it has to be clear and obvious to the AR...

The sub hasn't been completed in accordance with the law - the sub isn't actually on the field as he needs to have waited until the player leaves. Player is red carded, sub is told to leave the field, they play a man down. This is why the subs need to be managed. Strictly speaking it could be a...

Yes we could :cool:

Common sense. Come on.... Singling out? No, saying he can't take a TI is saying he can't do it. the coach saying he IS the thrower? Happens a lot in plenty of teams. You couldn't have it more upside down if you tried. This is really the only post this thread needs. Anybody saying they...
