gpl predictions (image) Bluebear54's GPL 2020/21: Ross County v Rangers
Rousseau replied to Rousseau's topic in Rangers Chat
Not too many points in the end, but we have a maximum! Correct Result (1 pt): Everyone who entered. Correct Number of Rangers Goals (1pt): MacK, Franc, Ian and T-1000. FGS (2 pts): Dado, Devil, MacK, WB91 and BD. Correct Score (3 pts): MacK, Franc and Ian. MacK takes the maximum 7 points! There's a group bunching together at the top. Latest Standings: -
Was it Barisic that took the corner for Goldson's goal? Important assist, if so. But, I don't think the defenders covered themselves in glory. Actually, I think SG or Micheal Beale deserved to be MotM for the tactical shift; I thought that was superb and crucial to us getting back into it in the second half.

It's tricky. Davis was good second half, but not so much the first. Arfield was quite quiet, I thought, but then stepped up second half. Kent worked his socks off, and slotted into the 4-4-2 and helped out a lot defensively when it was needed. Morelos worked hard too, but nothing came off for him. I don't think there were any real standouts, but Kent did more than anyone else, for me, so I'll pop for him.

How is it a "good goal" if it's offside? It's offside.

You might want to change your Chelsea predictions: I've added Zouma to my Fantasy League team, so they'll end up shipping 5 to Leeds. (I wouldn't be unhappy with that...)

It's not just a couple of wrong decisions over the course of a season, though, it was a couple of times every game! (Slight exaggeration...) But, to be honest, I just don't agree with that viewpoint: I want the correct decisions, even if it means a few stoppages. We stop every two seconds for fouls, anyway...

I've said this before, but I would like to see teams get appeals, like Cricket and Tennis. Say, 3, 4 or 5 appeals during a match. If you think you should have had a penalty, you appeal; win, you get the decision overturned, or lose and you lose an appeal.

I can understand the time issue -- even if I do not think it's as long as people say (last week's Villa goal was the longest I've seen and I timed it at two and a half minutes, which is not excessive for a really tight call like that). It's a small price to pay for the correct decision. Too many conflate VAR with the rules. VAR has just highlighted the issues with the rules. And, there's still human error, going back to that Villa goal, where they were so concerned with the offside that they missed the foul in the build-up! The handball rule is stupid. The offsides need work, with regards to which part of the body is used as a line. (I wonder if they could put something in the players shirts that the technology could track, thus giving a repeatable, consistent and instant decision?) These things are not VAR; they're the rules. It's just that now we have a way of getting to the correct result. I don't understand why you'd want incorrect decisions over correct ones at the cost of a few seconds wait. Again, if we had VAR in last season's LC final, we may well have won it. I just can't accept the 'they won it with an illegal goal, but hey, it was a great fast-paced game'. I'm a Rangers fan; I want the right decisions.

What is it that people think is "worse" about football with VAR?
