 VAR in the Past
Topic Originator: Stanza  
Date:   Fri 3 Jul 09:01

Already in the World Cup, controversial VAR interventions or non-interventions about goals and penalties have eliminated Germany, Senegal and Croatia (maybe others, even Scotland!) The trophy could well be decided by a last-minute VAR intervention.

If VAR had been in use in the past, what big decisions or results affecting team or country could have been affected? I can think of a few for and against DAFC or Scotland, but I`ll leave it open to anyone to resurrect their favourite grievance!

The Hand of God incident might have warranted a review.

Goal line technology would have prevented the horrors of 1966.

Absolutely đź’Ż the penalty claims against Morocco at the US World Cup

Morocco dominated but it`s the scoreline that matters and we could have stolen a result there if VAR just raised it`s bloody eyebrow and had a look

Unfortunately it also would have seen the `ghost goal` given when Lampards effort was over the line vs Germany in 2010. The goal was denied by the officials but clearly over the line.

Paul Lambert`s dive to win a penalty at EEP in 2000. Equaliser from the spot then went on to win it late 2-1.

Oh wait that would still be given by Scottish VAR....


The game in question

Last game involving the old firm I ever attended (outside of cup finals). The awful abuse on the way to the stadium, giving the mutants 3 stands so we get nothing but threats and screaming from the North West stand, play well, finally get our noses in front and 1 min later Willie Young gives that penalty.

Walked out deciding, what`s the point. If they need help they will get it.

A few dives in the box by Andy Smith whilst at Airdrie vs us but on the flip side, Jimmy Sanderson’s handball at Tynecastle in the semi final….,

My life would be a bit poorer without Jimmy Sandison`s handball at Tynecastle in it.

Although I`d 100% swap it for that penalty against Blade/Celtic in 2004 to make it 2-0.

in fairness to England, the vast majority of English realise how crap they were at that tournament, and that they would have probably lost to Germany anyway had the Lampard goal stood.

They were completely pumped in that game and 2-2 at halftime would have been robbery.

Didn’t need technology in 1966 to determine if the ball had completely crossed the goal line- clearly it didn’t except for one person at Wembley, a myopic “Russian” linesman 🤓

I get nostalgic about the 82 World Cup in Spain as it’s the first one I can really remember watching. I was recently watching some YouTube clips of some games which made me realise what a lottery offside is without VAR. Martin O’Neil had a perfectly good goal disallowed against France and the classic match between Italy and Brazil should have ended 4-2 not 3-2 to Italy, with 2 Brazil players playing the Italian onside for what would have been a fourth goal.

1985Par`s post mentioning both France and an Irishman reminded me of Thierry Henry`s handball(s) in the build-up to the winning French goal against the Republic of Ireland in a World Cup qualifier. VAR would surely have ruled out that goal.
