Clear two footed lunge - no red
Player kicks out at another whilst on the ground - no red.
Seriously, what on Earth is the point of it? A disastrous introduction to the game that adds nothing, takes away the essence of the game and doesn’t even get the decisions right.
A big steaming pile of turd.
I've not really seen much of the footy this week so I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to. But off the top of my head I did see someone dive in two footed, not sure if it was the same incident, but they did it well early, and by the time they got to the player both of his feet were low, and there was no contact. It looked dangerous, but not bad enough to change a decision to a red.
The point is for it to make the decisions more accurate, which it certainly does, but people seem to have a problem with it not being perfect, which is a bit weird I think. It's not perfect as it's been made/ coded by humans, and you've also got refs who aren't even footballers making the main decisions and the var decisions.
VAR probably thought they would get 95% right, where it's probably more like 90%, and for some reason the public thought it was going to be 100%. Not sure why the public ever thought the latter, and not sure why they also don't think that 90% is not better than 50%.
Refs have got worse (as they've lost what little bottle they have) as they try and rely on VAR, and then VAR lot can't make their mind up (as they have no bottle either), so they put it back on the ref to come over and look at a tiny screen in the blazing sun/ light, it's just bad implementation.
The marketing of VAR is terrible too, they says it's to just stop howlers, which I get, and if that's the case then don't look at 20 angles, just go "debatable" and move on, stick with original decision. Same with offsides, the second any lines need to be drawn, is the second the review should be over and just stick with the original decision (hopefully favouring attackers). If you need lines, it's not clear cut, one way or the other, and it could even still be wrong then, so just stick with the original decision.
Every year the refs and VAR's decisions do get made a bit harder, as in they're put under more scrutiny, as there's better and better quality images/ video, more angles to show how a decision could have been wrong, more back on forth on social media and forums like this etc. It's not like the old days with one angle, a crap picture and barely anyone even seeing it to talk about it etc. All you had before is fans of 100 clubs whinging about how they were robbed by refs or linos, with no validation, and now all it is is people whinging about how var got 1 decision maybe wrong out of 10, yet ignoring the other 9 it got right, which is 3/4 more than only an on field ref would get right.
