Away from the usual topic of conversation that has flooded the page for what seems like months now, the use of VAR and the technology for Joselu's goal last night was excellent, I really hope that is something the premier league are looking at, so much better and clearer than ''drawing lines''.

Yes it was, wasn’t so great for the Bayern equaliser though. Protocol broken by the linesman and also with the VAR as they showed the disallowed Madrid goal to the fans before the ref saw it.

That was all human error though Tim, the technology however is so much better, IMO then what the Premier League is currently using.

I think it's a conundrum ports.
What do do with var and how to apply it.

Wasn’t it announced recently that the PL is trialing the same method from next season? I’m sure I read that.
I can understand Bayern fans being angry last night. It was a bit dodgy showing the VAR footage on screen for the Madrid disallowed goal. I think the Bayern equaliser looked slightly off and I think that the GK stopped and perhaps would’ve saved it, but we will never know. Again a bit dodgy.

They have started using live VAR in Oz. The ref is mic’d up and explains the rationale behind the decisions.

I just don't think the rules support the technology we use. If your toe is offside and that's the rule, fine but you need conclusive evidence. The technology used last night offers that where as drawing lines doesn't. It's the offside one that I hate
The other use of VAR, unfortunately is subjective still unless the rules are clearly established and don't allow for any interpretation. I do think they shouldn't add pressure on the ref to go and review at the side of the pitch, if you have all the angles in the room without the atmosphere of the ground, you make the decision.
I just feel like they are trying to create perfect decisions and outcomes and by doing this they seem to be cocking up even more.

What about the RM running onto he pitch when it went 2-2. That shouldn't have happened, unless the game has ended.

The offside implementation of var in the UCL is far better than the premier league, clearer, more concise, faster and let's the game flow better. None of this drawing lines rubbish.
