La Liga | Round 28: Real Sociedad - FC Barcelona 1-6

[Andresito]

Yeah they really didn’t want to give him that 2nd goal. Didn’t even need a 2nd look at that Ilaix incident to see it was nothing.

Saw a post on Twitter a few weeks back, can’t remember where but a league has introduced microphones from VAR room to ref, so when they’re making decisions you can get an explanation why. No hiding or questionable decisions, would clear up a lot of things. Should definitely introduce it. La Liga and PL would benefit massively.

Yeah it's been requested by many. But I don't think refs would be comfortable with that because VAR probably isn't sure in many cases, like in Dembele's case.
So they're probably like "hey man we can't clearly see here in this short amount of time, just go with your initial call".
And then the ref is probably like "aight dawg they've scored plenty goals so far anyway, we should call Dembrook off here".

And then they do their best to get a fabricated picture of the offside.

Not only Dembz is pixelated, but the red dotted line is made deliberately thick. It's quite clear defenders foot is in front there. VAR makes refs look even more embarrassing than they usually are. At least with real time decision we have to give benefit of the doubt and understand the difficulty of getting it right given the pace of the game, but here we see questionable dealings, manipulations and maybe even doctoring behind closed curtains. Not only VAR pisses everyone off because of disruption, it also proves even more shady than real time decisions and are often clearly wrong. Fuck VAR.

Why this pessimism

Before yesterday's game it really worked well only in this system against serious opposition. Real was too poor though and Barca managed to win regardless of the system used.

They even attached the red dotted line wrong, it has to be the same height as the player on the field. I painted a new red line on the same height as Dembele.

Laporta should formally complain about that.
I don't think it was an accident

Yes. This isa bigger cheat than they were robbing Barca without VAR. Now they even mock and treat us as "retards".

Hats off to the team and Koeman but I hate when we play a game like this just before international break, lol (still better than losing and then seeing depression and gloom and doom posts here for two weeks though)

Hopefully our players will come back healthy and we'll continue with a good form in April.
