VAR thread 2022/23

[Gray]

Nothing ever changes. The Var lovers won't come on today, they always wait at least one day. Then it's 'didn't see it I was at the shops but.....' 26 pages later when everyone has lost the will to live and we are bored into submission, the thread fies until the next match.The fan comments on the bbc match report is worth reading, scouse match obviously, hundreds of posts calling out what it is, blatant cheating.

Where is Bluehammer?

Where is Bluehammer?

He was asked not to post in the thread and he agreed.

It didn’t do that in either code of rugby though.

VAR is being used incorrectly, referees aren’t reffing properly because of VAR. it’s a viscous cycle of wrongly implementing it from both sides.

Do you attend rugby matches?
I do. Newcastle falcons, nearly every match. Officiating is getting worse and reviews longer and more often called upon. Articles has also shown umpiring in cricket has become less secure.

And the tories will stop lying and cheating

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

To be fair, there was VAR for the Liverpool v Wolves game at Anfield but they just decided not to use it..

Not once but twice..!

Karma that the cheating twats got knocked out today..!

but PiGMOL will console themselves with the fact that they kept the dippers in longer than they deserved .

I best make the most of next week then as the world is clearly coming to an end.

Contrast the comments with the match report which does not mention the 2 potential game changing red card incidents. The BBC complicit in the cheating.

Edit. A small mention of the Fabinho tackle only at the end of the report.

BBC Sport totally complicit with their unreserved bias towards their meal tickets, ie rags and dippers , with integrity and honestly totally absent from their remit.

The media being complicit is why after match interviews is not the Panacea some claim.
The media will choose which incidents to interrogate. Gives the media even more power in shaping the narrative and protecting the product.

Corrected

How does miked up work if VAR don't even review?
Will they only broadcast discussions once VAR needs to discuss with ref?
What about all those quick decisions that never get communicated back in the first place?
This will make little difference.

Still cannot believe both supposedly big.clubs with their most famous ever stadiums in the history of football haven't got a big screen (which was a prerequisite to var being implemented)

The one at Anfield got nicked.

Would almost make you think they were the most likely to benefit.

It’s got worse since that cheating fucker Webb has been put in charge.

 

[moomba]

They get slaughtered when they make decisions too quickly ( not looked at it properly) and now for taking too long. It took longer than normal because there were two separate potential offsides in the same move to consider.

If the communicated with the crowd/viewing audience it wouldn't be a problem.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

I bet todays fabinho 'decision' was pgmol ensuring everyone gets a nice little end of year performance contract bonus. I suspect that call today will go down as correct by the referee after checking with the VAR team who agreed.

Stats for correct decisions by the ref goes up, pgmol can prove their refs deserve their bonuses because they get more calls correct.... Football suffers.

I would love to see how they are measured in their performance.

I've said for a while that the only way to get everybody onside (no pun intended) with VAR is to broadcast what the officials and the VAR team are saying verbatim... Then there is nothing hidden, we know what they say and we know (or hear at least) the justification for decisions... Then we can argue the toss when things are as blatant as us v the rags and today in the Brighton game
