Var debate 2019/20

The first one is debatable but it was similar to Micah’s at Anfield in the League Cup semi.

We shouldn’t be wanting those to be penalties but it’s typical it wasn’t checked, despite our players appealing like mad for it.

The 2nd isn’t handball, his hand is by his side.

Their penalty was stone wall.

We were shit yesterday, that’s why we lost.

Does anyone think that once it is 100% certain the dippers will win the league than City will start getting some dodge VAR decisions in our favour. So they can than say it's the same for all clubs or it evens its self out over a season .

Of course,and VAR will start working at Anfield. It’s done it’s job to perfection this season WWE style.

Anyway another weekend where VAR speaks yet never, ever speaks for us.

Well done Oliver who can't ever give us a nailed in penalty in a game manage to award one whilst sat 200 miles away and to the opposition. Also we'll well done for not doing so for 3 handballs in the box yesterday.

His bosses will be ecstatic with his performance yesterday, he really did step up to the plate.

I may be wrong but haven't they just introduced yet another inconsistency here?

Aren't we accustomed to a 'junior' referee backing up the more experienced official from the VAR spot (with the reasoning behind some non-VAR reversal being that the inferior official doesn't want to override the more experienced head)?

Last night we were provided with 2 'high end' (in its loosest form of the term) officials - has this been the case for other high profile games?

That was my beef earlier today. The two or three posters I named only post when we lose, they was very surprised when I pointed that out to them. Too easy to spot.

His Internet must be down as I haven't heard a peep from him, either that or he's not getting any results back from Google after typing in 'Ticket prices at Main Road'..!

Another one rumbled..!
 
The Celtic v Rangers game was a reminder of life without VAR, so many off ball incidences unnoticed by the officials and a offside goal given, Gerrard is now calling for it in Scotland.

I've no doubt he has called for it in Scotland, he's seen how it's being used to manipulate the league here to bring his beloved 'pool their first premier league title (something he couldn't manage on the pitch) and he probably hopes Rangers may get the same helping hand in the future.

Well Gerrard has seen how much help his old club is having with VAR so of course he wants it !! He might change his mind if VAR are signed by Celtic !!

I bet it was a much better game for it though.

Reads like one of City's games with VAR.

You'll be right about a few decisions going our way once they are no longer crucial.
The farce about it is the hope was that VAR would eliminate phrases such as "evens out over the season" being used as a excuse for mistakes.

That sounds like the aftermath of one of our games or what Liverpool's opposition that week say when VAR is used to justify the penalty/handball/elbow/stamp/offside goal/disallowed goal/dive decisions.

I get what you are saying but it would be the aftermath of every game without VAR like before, every match was dominated by how bad the refs was, the diving, cheating etc.
We know without VAR the officials can not cope with the game and have to make blind decisions - I don’t see how we could revert back to that.

I’ve always said it, VAR should have been bought in more slowly - ie: just for this season - VAR to be used for handball decisions. Then next season VAR for handball and offside decisions etc. Slow implementation is the only way.
