VAR (PL introduction 2019)

It's fucking shit, it's not resolved anything, just caused more controversy. scrap it, take the rough with the smooth. Give us our fucking game back.
Only way this is gonna happen if it dramatically effects the rags,if VAR is used in the same way for them as everyone else they will be stirring at relegation or close to it with all the help they’ve been getting down the years, the premier league will be looking to scrap it can’t have the rags being out of the equation at any cost ...

Thought they might have looked at the foul on Abraham (imo it was) in the run up to the rags 2nd.
 
Although VAR has been implemented correctly this weekend it takes away human error. Jesus would have had his second. Wolves would have scored.

It's ruining football. It's making it a game where every goal celebration will be muted until the screen says "goal". There will be no spontaneous elation. It's all about one thing.

Money.


It's killing the game. Turning it into something designed for paid for TV and it's advertising.

It can fuck off.
 
Not sure if we’ve covered my points already apologies if so but......
Why were liners immediately flagging marginal offsides on several occasions in all games they caused some good attacks to end and tv showed them to have been wrong.
Why is the ref and not var that has to spot the goalie moving off the line on a pen. Never heard this before my view they made this one up to cover that bent bastard Dean who clearly chose not to call a retake

In the PL VAR doesn't check to see if the 'keeper has one foot in contact with the line when the kick is taken. Sergio got a second chance because Rice encroached and then cleared the ball thus gaining an unfair advantage ove non-encroachers following up.

Linesmen have been told to flag as normal, unlike the c/l, the referee decides to either blow or let play carry and VAR check. So players have got to play to the whistle and make sure they don’t stop if they see a flag raised until they hear the whistle.
 
You do realise that the bent decision making machine which does everything possible to enhance the success of its two favourite global cash-cows (rags and Liverpool) is the same machine that will be responsible for how VAR is applied?

We its the only chance we have right now to see if it improves things...
 
As above, in the next break of play is totally fine... Corrected a clear injustice.
So when we score a goal after a long series of passes in a move that started with Ederson picking up a loose ball, you are fine with it if the tape is rolled back and a penalty awarded against us because of an infringement no one spotted at the time?

I find it absurd that anything other than the specific incident VAR was called in for is examined. Even then it should not be being used to fine tooth-comb every goal. Clear and obvious errors is fine but when it’s being used to disallow goals on the basis of a toe nail or elbow maybe being offside then it’s also becoming absurd.

And I don’t believe for one second the VAR software can infallibly decide the precise moment a ball leaves the foot and can then calibrate the position every millimetre of everyone’s body in reference to that moment. At the very least there needs to be a ‘too close to call’ error margin in favour of the attacker so we see no more of this the computer says no because a millimetre of an arm was adjudged offside.

I bloody hate being robbed of that rush, that leap to my feet moment when a goal is scored. Instead I have to wait and wonder whether a computer programmed by fallible human beings will give the okay and whether a team of invisible pedants will find something as they scroll back through maybe a couple of minutes play.

Yes, no issue. Taking City out of it, it would be the correct thing to do in any match, or whether for or against us... VAR is there to correct injustices!! Same thing happened in the Swiss/Portugal match. Would have been unfair to have given Portugal the Pen, the correct and fair outcome was reached by VAR!! It wasn't looked at under a fine tooth comb as you put it. It was missed by some shoddy officiating. Within seconds it was clear it was a poor refereeing decision and VAR corrected that. Really not sure whats not to like!

On your point about the offsides, VAR may not be infallible however its significantly more accurate than bent officiating!! See numerous offside Liverpool goals from last season as proof of that... Or 3 Tottenham offside goals in 1 game against us!!

I do agree about a margin of error though, but does that open it up to abuse in favour of the Cartel...??!!
