Media coverage 2018/19

[Marvin]

We saw VAR in action again at Molineux. Ignored Smalling's blatant holding. Reduced Lindelof red to a yellow. VAR could work if you assume that ref's are fair and free from pressure. The evidence so far is that is used unfairly

 

[deano ou812]

I note the United manager was pleased var changed a red to yellow in their favour but the absence of var helped a certain club (City).
Lets hope his pro var opinions continue when any pro United ref decisions may continue but will be open to greater scrutiny.

Whys he commenting on our game,they knew the rules and that var was only at premier league grounds in fa cup,anyhow they got a decision in their favour due to var,the mask is slipping and the results are changing come another month and they will be screaming for him to go..

Have they actually had a VAR decision go against them yet ?

As Pep keeps saying we voted for VAR

Ha ha. Saggers isn't taking the lack of VAR yesterday very well.

Spot on...

Lindelof should definitely have seen red last night. Out of control - tick, Dangerous - tick, Red Shirt.... err hand on lads lets make that a Yellow...

Its so blatant these days you could hardly make it up.

From what I've seen up to now VAR is going to be (maybe already has) been a disaster for the game. I just don't see how it has or will improve anything. Plus it breaks the flow of the game so much that the actual nature of football is being undermined probably terminally. If I want to watch sport which is basically run as a made for TV event I can watch NFL.

Sky and BT will be shoving ads in the VAR slot next!

It’s all a distant fading memory now for them twats, another trophyless season for them.

4th placed trophy still up for grabs. Bus tour if they win it, with Ole at the wheel.

Whilst it’d mean we were out, if Spuds win the CL and finish 5th and Chelsea or Arsenal win the EL, whilst finishing 6th, fourth place will not qualify!!

 

[Tracking back]

I think the human (bias) element should be removed from VAR.

The officials should only see AI computer generated images of the event in question, where they have no idea which team they are making a decision on.

Totally agree with the above.
Watched all the replays of the incident in question in the pub in Swansea - saw no "clear and obvious error" with the original decision, I thought that was the requirement to overturn.

On the overall subject of VAR - it's going to ruin our game IMHO.
Taking too long, doesn't connect supporters to what's going on, and takes alot of joy out of goals scored

I'm all for goal line technology - it's a 100% nailed on decision. Everything else - leave it to the ref in charge, we're already seeing players making TV signs which helps no-one and decisions like last night are based on interpretation of the laws which, with the greatest of respect, are bound to be seen differently per individual

 

[Mid Wales blue]

Imagine we do the impossible and win the quad we might just make the 3rd page from the back.

No we’d definitely make front and back pages, as that’ll probably be the day we are charged by FIFA, UAFA, FA, Prem League, and the cleaning lady!

 

[crazyg]

You obviously are in serious need of a nice relaxing break. A weekend at Wembley should cure it.

Or even two.

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

No chance mate - United will be linked with Schneider again (is he still playing?) and Klopp will have produced another betting sponsor / advert.

Oh and the class of '92 will be due to be written about obviously.........

 

[hertsblue]

Nope. Alti Taylor "somehow" missed Smalling grappling at Corners, resulting in Luiz's shirt being torn off his back in the game at Chelsea. 2 blatant penalties they got away with.Just goes to show the cheats in charge on the pitch are the same on Var

 

[Rochdale Blue]

Or even two.

There's more chance of that now millwall are out.

How many years without a league title now?

Shall we shop for a flag? @gordondaviesmoustache

I've said this from the beginning of var, just an excuse to get adverts in.

There's one which has been gathering dust for the past 7 years, one spiteful owner, slightly raggedy, sold as seen(!), genuine reason for selling apparently - no chance of being used again, and you get a free 'Chosen one' banner thrown in.
