Match Thread | Bournemouth vs Man City (25/08/19)

What is the damned point then?

Precisely

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

They don’t over rule the fucking refs Karen. They haven’t done so once this season on penalty decisions, for any team.

What is the f*cking point of it then?

It's supposed to cancel out 'clear and obvious errors', as the Silva penalty shout was. If the 'unofficial' policy is to 'never' disagree with the on field referee (as it appears to be), there is no point to VAR, unless it is being used to look for reasons not to give goals for certain teams.

The FA couldn't have made the implementation of VAR look any more corrupt if they'd tried.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

It’s good to see Gareth Barry back.

They are still ens,why bother even doing the review if they are not going to over turn it,,salad shirt barely touched =pen,stand on daves foot = no pen,selective shite

 

[buckshot]

It’s been discussed at ridiculous length in the var thread.

Var is very unlikely to ever over rule a ref on a subjective decision like a penalty. It’s not happened once in the league this season.

I feel like this needs to be saved because you know the first chance they have to deny points for City they'll give one the other way.

 

[FantasyIreland]

So why review it then?

Shits and giggles?

Precisely

 

[The blue phantom]

They absolutely will when Liverpool need the points. 100%

Yep, And shitloads on here said the same thing would be used to solely help the Rags. Now that theory went out of the window big time yesterday, so now everyone's moved on to its here to help the scousers.

 

[mat]

We have to score 3 a game minimum to neutralise VAR.

 

[The perfect fumble]

It’s official, by the way, I am getting a tattoo of David on my chest. ;-)

And Marriner on your arse?

 

[2sheikhs]

Do you really truly believe none of of our players go down easily just because they wear blue?

If I wore spectacles, I'd be peering over the top of them at you now.
