VAR is ruining the beautiful game

Watching them measure in millimeters if someone was offside or not is just agonizing - regardless of who benefits in that particular game.  It is baffling that there's no common sense.  It's become worse than the "what's a catch in the NFL".

Fully agree.  If bigger player goes against smaller dude... while his body onside but due to size his hand 2 inches offside... it’s offside...  like wtf?  So VAR is smaller people favorite now?

Mentioned this in the other thread, it should be based on foot position and angle. The tech is there to measure that, and it's probably then incontrovertible. For a simple example, 50-60% of the attacking player's foot is past the last defender's foot, it's pretty obvious it's offsides then.

Completely agree.  When I said leg I meant foot.  That whole arm swing is so dumb.

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
