VAR Discussion Thread - 2023/24 | PL clubs to vote on whether to scrap VAR (pg413)

[wolviedinho]

We all know in its current form it’s not great. I would rather a technological upgrade. Using automated checks instead of the refs at stockly.

It does ruin the spontaneous emotion but let’s not get too carried away. The reason it was brought in because the refs were getting so many calls wrong is not the right way to go either.

Adapt make it transparent and use the technology available.

The return of United dodgy decisions every week without consequence is not something I want. It’s not great but still better than nothing.

 

[Damanino]

there are lots of decision where VAR review overturns awful original decision. there are good couple of these every single round.

I dont want absolute clear pens not given and not even have the chance for looking at the replay. we all know what would happen vs rags, dippers.

 

[HypnoticBlue]

Automated offsides and goal line tech -yes
Dodgy diving pens decided by some blind, bent official -no

 

[bluemoon32]

Fucking hell, the West Ham fan will have a breakdown if they fuck var off.
Will no one think of the hammer??

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

The semi-automated technology which is supposed to be coming in next season works far better. It takes seconds to come to a decision. If they could implement that next season that should see the end of the drawing lines on the pitch nonsense.

Is it accurate?

 

[jaiguruKun]

Is it accurate?

Worked well in world cup and also in Europe.

 

[deano ou812]

It‘ll be a lot quicker next season with the automated system coming in,can’t see them scraping it.
Its not VAR that’s the problem it’s the idiots using it ..

Worked well as in quicker? Is it accurate?

Be a massive backward step scrapping VAR, if broadcasters have better technology & facilities than refs, every wrong offside decision & missed offence will be replayed ad nauseum, it’ll be much worse than it is now.
Better to improve what is already in place

They were doing that before var and that's probably the reason it was introduced. Reffing the game via sky and bt.

 

[spacecadet]

It will work in most of Europe automated- the problem in England is they are trying to manipulate results to suit the cartel, and have been since day one.

You mean like the Newcastle pen not given tonight?

 

[Maintainin]

It would be better to pause its use until the tech is better and competent people are using it imo

I could get with it being paused, but finding for example maybe an 'Independent Commission' competent people in today's game might prove a stretch.

Overall though...

This is my point of view. Also from a City perspective, I’d be fearful that we’d cop an even greater caning from these dodgy refs.

 

[Brightwell’s left peg]

I want to be able to celebrate a goal without having it retrospectively ruled out.

Every single goal celebration is ruined as a result of VAR.

Every suggestion at keeping, but improving misses this point for me.

The main enjoyment of football is ruined and forever will be, no matter how good the review system is.

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

Keep it but with the amendment, “give the benefit of doubt to the attacking team”

 

[Bozo]

Amazing news, please please please scrap it

There is a chip in the ball that produces an image of the pitch and the line is drawn automatically rather than by a human. From what I've seen it shows much more clearly whether there's an offside or not

 

[Pep Talk561]

will be interested what clubs will vote on...

Sounds promising. What is the published margin of error?

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Dunno. What's the width of a ball?
