In my view there are a number of central points in play ; * VAR and its usage. It's not enough to shrug your shoulders and say '' human error ''. It's negligence and not doing your job properly. Two different things. Hopefully the Webb arranged pow wow will see some improvement. * The rules, specifically offside and handball. Now grossly over complicated and resulting in more opportunities for officiating uncertainty. * An old one this, but consistency in the application of the laws by the officials. Give players an inch and they will take a mile. And the officials have only themselves to blame for gradually accepting some of what they get away with...foul throws, moving up the line to take throws, taking free kicks in the right place etc etc. A good start would be re establishing the referees authority. This is where the governing bodies need to take responsibility. Punish arguing with the referee. Make it easier for them to concentrate on the play rather than dealing with players antics. With respect, the controversy from the weekend cannot be categorised as "Negligence". Negligence in legal terms contains the elements of Duty of care,breaches of duty and damages. Undeniably, the actions of the VAR fell below the standards expected and the PGMOL are addressing these issues.

If that had happened in my workplace and a senior operative, after training, had got that so fundamentally wrong it would be classified as negligence.

This would depend on the circumstances and consequences. In law, negligence is when someone fails to behave with a level of care, which results in 'Damage' to an individual. I think that is ample 'Legal speak' from me, I have no desire to gallivant down this road any further !

I think that your completely right in what you say about re - establishing the referees authority & getting rid of the surrounding cheating / players protest noise, so that they can do their job, then if they get it wrong there is more of a clear case to answer - Originally posted by NEILLO

Objective question. Subjective answer. Not quite. Had you given a 'Yes or No' as an option, sure. Even so... I don't think it's possible to have an objective/factual answer to that question anyway. It's a hugely subjective and emotive topic. My view is that it started off worse, is now pretty even, and as its use improves, becomes more refined, faster and less noticeable it will make the game (as a whole, not just focusing on offsides or goal celebrations etc) better than it was before. But it has some way to go.

Obviously both those sports are very different to Football in that stoppages are frequent and there is more time in which to review decisions and get them right. Hence why moving to a semi automated system for offsides is the right idea as it will dramatically shorten breaks in play, which will only really happen for lower frequency, more complex offside calls.

If the lines were drawn in the wrong place or not at all, that is negligence of duty surely?

But it has some way to go. I think you've both arguing for, and against VAR at once there - and I totally agree ! VAR will be good for football, in it's evolved state. Right now it's not fit for purpose. When the Technology is good enough to accurately track and Map ALL elements at play, i.e. ball position, defenders arm position etc, allowing for instant(ish) decisions (which will happen eventially) Then i'll be behind it. right now it's a good idea badly implemented.

The VAR system as it operated last Saturday, in favour of Crystal Palace, is one I support. Please do not tinker with it !!!!!
