how long did it take?
From BBC
Replays showed Layvin Kurzawa was narrowly offside when he headed the ball to Griezmann, with the decision to overturn the goal made in about 30 seconds.
Deulofeu's goal - from a Jordi Alba cross - was awarded after a conversation between the referee and the video assistant that lasted about a minute.
So no delay at all. I'm all in favour of this.
Too long for me. Wait until you have a hawkseye technology to offsides as that will give you the signal immediately.
For goals we thankfully already have hawkseye which has proved to work - because it gives the ref the signal IMMEDIATELY.
For penalty shouts and red card incidents - for these this might work as no one celebrates these like goals.
However why do people think this actually makes it a level playing field? Most incidents are debatable anyway
I don't understand why you think it was too long. It was done in the amount of time it normally takes for the scoring team to celebrate and get back in their own half to restart.
Perhaps on the second overruled decision I can see your point because there would be little delay between taking the ball out of the net and taking the free given for offside so in that instance you're getting a longer delay than you normally would.
personally I just think that celebrating a goal after 30, 60, 90 seconds of video reviewing is shite. i've seen it happen in other sports and it takes surprisingly much out of the joy of scoring.
