A new-look European Super League would be based on sporting performance only with no permanent members, A22 chief executive Bernd Reichart told German newspaper Die Welt; teams would be guaranteed a minimum of 14 matches per season; LaLiga call plans selfish and greed-driven

What happened

What happened

West Ham defender saved the ball and no pen but obviously it’s a handball.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Southampton surely destined to go down. Losing at home despite being in front against 10 men

You'd expect Jones to go soon as well, with the modern way of churning managers.

7 losses in 8 league games. The appointment never made sense.

If I was him I wouldn't have taken that job, but I guess he wouldn't know when and if another top flight job would come along for him.

Just watched it on MOTD, horrid decision!

On top of it the person in charge of VAR was the VAR referee for the game. Shocking!

Harvey Barnes goal for Leicester should have stood aswell as Estupiñán for Brighton 1st goal never offside.
Shocking decisions

VAR is totally ruining football.

It’s a good idea but being implemented incorrectly, they shouldn’t be looking for incidents half an hour before to disallow a goal when Man Utd let one in

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Should be available for the captain of each team to call for a VAR review of the type of incidents it’s used for now. Each team gets 3 a game and keeps it if they’re proven right

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Nathan Jones what a lunatic complaining because his team had a one man advantage.

Surely getting sacked, not only terrible results but embarrassing the club in the press.

Just get rid of it.

It's attempting to 'fix' things that didn't need fixing, using technology that isn't capable of doing what is asked of it & just adding extra layers of subjectivity. We have had to have multiple rewrites of various laws like handball & offside to supposedly make it easier for VAR & it's now a ridiculous mess.

One of the worst things to ever happen to the game & I genuinely don't know if I could stomach us being in the Prem & having to put up with it.

What a disaster of an appointment Jones was.

I think it has a place for catching missed red card incidents and clear offside errors. As I say if how it was deployed were put in the hands of captains I’d find that more acceptable

The one thing even everyone on SBT was able to predict. He’ll get 3 years’ salary as well for having failed spectacularly. What a gig if you can get it.

 

[Skybluefaz]

I hope we never hire Nathan 'I'm fucking brilliant' Jones.

Yes he did an amazing job at Luton, but what a prize prick he is.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

His only league win was against Frank Lampard’s Everton. I don’t know to whom that is a bigger insult

 

[Paul Anthony]

Guy was well out of his depth. It was a bizarre appointment, and the damage has been done for them.

 

[chiefdave]

VAR is totally ruining football.

there was so many appalling mistakes in one day yesterday that surely they have to do something. offside goals allowed because the VAR official forgot to draw the lines, clear handballs missed. Absolute shambles.

 

[Grendel]

it was a strange appointment as he’s only had success at the one club and zero premier league experience managing a club already in difficulty

Still he will be a rich man today

You could call them ‘time outs’, and they could also give the quarterback some time to draw up some new plays on the sideline with the rest of the offense.

Disagree that the rules for handball and offside have been rewritten for VAR.

They've been making them more obtuse and subjective for a long while, before VAR was even considered. In my opinion it's deliberate to generate controversy and headlines.

Happens in tennis and cricket of course where it works just fine

Wouldn't trust on the field personnel to use it properly. They don't get a good enough overview. You'd need an analyst in the stands much like in the NFL.

It’s beyond help the handball decision shows it’s all wrong

Totally agree about the rules being rewritten for VAR, handball especially.

But a deliberate attempt to generate headlines? Bit of a stretch to say the least

They are fact based though & using technology that is capable of doing the job. That's not the case in football.

 

[MusicDating]

It does for the factual decisions; hitting/missing stumps, no ball, in/out, but for catches in cricket it's still subjective and controversial.

It was hyperbole, but it does seem that they've been making the offside and handball laws so convulted that it's resulted in unclear, often wrong, decisions, but lots and lots more controversy and discussion.

So it can't have been to make the decisions clearer, so what other reason could it have been for? Arguably to make it more exciting but much of that 'excitement' comes from discussions about whether it was the right decision or whether Rule 7 Part b Subsection 2 means it was fine.
