The lino was looking right at it. He was on the line.

Looking like you're paying attention and actually paying attention are different things.

Like I say if it's supposed to be a foolproof system if you signal it's in and the tech says it's not it can make you feel silly. Are assistants even told to flag if it's gone in now there's technology for it?

So, the system wasn't working properly. It now is. It seems his watch said it was a goal during half time, according to sky anyway.

If VAR can confirm it, can they not just add the goal on to Sheffield United?

 

[Nick]

Why haven't they shown the graphic that shows if it crosses the line?

 

[ccfc92]

Is Fleck injured or banned?

Injured.

Sack him then.

This is the problem with inept officials. They won't be the ones answering to why they didn't see it.

This is shit. Really isnt right without the fans.


Rather it was left until at least 30% capacity allowed

Tbh, its the football that's shit. Awful game.

Paddy Power paying out on Oliver Norwood First goalscorer, fair play to them.

Yep, the goal or no goal graphic always comes up on a close call. Some twat has definitely forgot to switch it on.

Surely they should pay out on an own goal. Keeper took it over the line.

This is obviously hindsight but does the ref not check it is working? They check goal nets and things like that, would have thought that should be checked as well.

 

[ccfc92]

Quality save that

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

Funny how nobody wants to comment.

The system wasn't on. The ref has said it's now working and will work the second half.

Imagine if this gives villa a goal.

You're kidding, how did you know the system wasn't in operation?

You would have thought so. However we all know the level of competence that premier league refs usually show.
No excuse for this mistake. If goal line tech isn't working, some knob in a room is in charge of VAR. Flag it up with the ref?

Is it true that the watch went off at half time to say goal !

According to sky, yes

 

[usskyblue]

Does VAR mean that officials no longer need to bother fucking looking ? ...ffs

 

[Marty]

Surely the lino saw it so needs to have a word with the ref.

Own goals don't count I believe, maybe it was because of the circumstances.

Embarrassing by the prem. But also by Var ,Michael Oliver and the lines man who is looking right at it !

Couldn't dare undermine the referee...

 

[Nick]

What happens if these officials do a game without technology after they obviously relying on it to watch the game for them?

The lino was bang in line and didn't flag.

Yeah he must have seen it too. The keeper had it behind the post on his side ffs

Don’t think the ref at fault...as long as he didn’t forget to turn it on.
But the Lino, Hawkeye and VAR sadly lacking. I much prefer officials to make honest mistakes than the over reliance on poor technology. Scrap VAR.

You would think as everyone has been banging on about sporting integrity and so on lately. Vila could have let Sheffield score in an empty net

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Villa have had some good chances second half. We need David McGoldrick to come on and notch.

 

[Nick]

Drinks break, 5 subs.

What's the point in that? Are the players recovering from Corona?

 

[Nick]

Ref even pointed to his ear and said they hadn't said anything

 

[Nick]

They don't even know who's been subbed now.

 

[usskyblue]

They said here that VAR was working but the keeper somehow shielded the ball from the technology ... what the actual fuck?

Invisibility cloak?

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Invisibility cloak?

Jack Grealish will catch the golden snitch this half.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Imagine if Sheff Utd miss out in the champions league by a point because of that.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Was actually off and the ref and Lino didn’t bother doing their jobs.

 

[Johnnythespider]

Never a goal!

I thought that they cannot make a decision on goal line technology - I thought the referee has a device that buzzes - if he was told it’s working and there is no buzz he can’t intervene can he?
