Title: Cameroon
Post by: scawsby steve on June 23, 2019, 08:01:23 pm
An absolute f*cking disgrace; should never be allowed anywhere near the Women's World Cup ever again.

What got me was they showed the incident on big screen, if we showed them things on our screen we would be for the high jump

They got off lightly. Could have easily been two sending off and a penalty. Good to see VAR serving justice but taking too long to get the decision.

Cameroon are so undisciplined, not unlike their male counterparts. I will do our girls good to face such a character building tie at this stage.

You couldn't write it. The VAR gives the correct decision on the two incidents against them and they have the audacity to claim it is racism.

They were lucky they never conceded a penalty and had a player sent off as well in the second half.

As well as Cameroon, the referee was a disgrace for not putting a stop to their antics.

I think the ref never sent the player off or gave the penalty so they didn't have world war 3 on the pitch there should have also been a sending off for the blatant push twice on the referee but she was so weak

I'm not sure where this report of claims of racism started, but that's not true and it's unhelpful to reiterate it. There were claims that the decisions were the result of a bias, but not due to perceived racism.

The racism story was mentioned by the bbc commentator during the half time interval.

Eh? So how many times have we conceded a goal that's off side because the officials have missed it or its been too tight to call? This way (in the prem at least) it should make it more of a level playing field. When will any of this new tech ever make it down the leagues though?

It will ruin the game,
Every time there’s a goal fans won’t cekebrate as they know someone could’ve been a millimetre offside somewhere.
The offside rule is to stop players getting an unfair advantage, a mm or a shoelace isn’t giving anyone an advantage.
Offside rule was always supposed to give the attacker the advantage if he’s level he’s on var is taking all the common sense out of football, like the goalkeeper at penalties during this women’s World Cup nothing short of a farce

Yes sorry, I could have been clearer. I meant I'm not sure where the commentators/presenters have drawn that from. All the post match coverage I've read said that this (calling racism) wasn't the case, and the commentators and presenters wouldn't have access to the tunnel at half-time. So I'm questioning their source rather than the folk on here reiterating it.

"Occasionally referees make mistakes, but ultimately the referee made a lot of mistakes tonight," Djeumfa said.

"Unfortunately we had a goal disallowed and if we had halved the deficit, I really believe there would have been a different result come to the end of the game if that goal had been allowed.

"Once we conceded the opening goal in the 14th minute, when there was an indirect free-kick inside the area, that was the wrong decision and then we realized it was slipping away, and then we realized we had to make sure we didn't concede in the opening 20 minutes.

"Unfortunately the officials wanted something else.

"From that moment on, the girls perhaps just lost a bit of temper. But I think we need to take our hat off to the girls, despite the refereeing mistake, for their performance.

"Of course I'm frustrated. But as I said, football is all about fair play. We showed fair play. It's football."

So this was the interview with Cameroon manager

At the moment yes it’s offside, but the rule needs to change. It will just make the game a farce.
Keith Hackett just been ok the radio and he says they need to change the rule to one that offside only occurs when there’s daylight between the attacker and the defender.
I tend to agree

I feel as though this wasn't as big a problem at the Men's World Cup, suggesting that it is the usage by officials here that is the problem. Perhaps the lack of understanding / experience is hindering these officials st the Women's World Cup.

There was some comment that the implementation was rushed I seem to recall.  Its still in its infancy so there is opportunity to refine it and the application of the laws that wrap it.  The problem for me is that the laws of the game cant be amended to work better for VAR as it isn't being applied across all levels of the game and the laws will apply to all levels of the game.  FIFA/UEFA have to give this one some serious consideration

The problem is that the side that feels hard done by will always be demanding a review now. They have nothing to lose if they concede a goal or give away a penalty.

The offside given against Ellen White was an error and was more than marginally onside.

Because of the speed of play, offsides will never be clear and obvious. You want these injustices corrected rather than be subject to human error, especially when your team is the victim.

You talk about the rule. If you ask for daylight, then you will argue about the definition of daylight! Is it better to base it on the rearmost/foremost part of the body? If you go for daylight, you're making it more complicated and more likely less fair.

Another possibility is the position of the feet. If the attackers feet are behind both feet of the defender, even though their torso's/arms maybe leaning in the opposite direction, then the attacker would be seamed to be onside.

Some of the calls we've seen are virtually impossible for the assistant to give and be 100% sure.

She only raised the flag when the goal went in which is what thare are told to do.

There was another move when the Cameroon attacker was through on goal and Beardsley had to make a one-on-one save. Only then did the assistant raise her flag.
Title: Re: Cameroon
Post by: RoversAlias on June 24, 2019, 10:32:18 pm
They shouldn't have given them directives of delaying putting their flag up then. Put it up straight away as ever and if there is an error it will be corrected by VAR since VAR reviews all goals as far as I'm aware. Just silly how badly they have implemented what should be a fairly straight-forward thing.
Title: Re: Cameroon
Post by: dickos1 on June 24, 2019, 11:11:17 pm
They can’t correct it though because as soon as they put the flag up everyone stops. So what can they do if when they look later she was actually onside, but everyone had stopped.
They can’t give them a goal.

Sorry, you're incorrect. Watch Ellen Whites goal again. Even the commentator says.. The flag stays down.. Now it's up.
