Var debate 2019/20

A poor implementation of this is what most of football governance wants. They will keep this up across all the leagues for a season before collectively coming to the conclusion that VAR is not suited to the sport and abandoning it

And then tell everybody..."we tried it but you all said it didn't work"

If the PGMOL, don’t change how they are currently officiating games (not just ours) through the use of VAR, then the game will be seriously damaged, in the eyes of the viewers.
If that happens, then it certainly has an impact on the broadcasters investment!

It does seem that the Pgmol have approached VAR solely from the point of view of how it affects their members.

Kane has come out publicly now asking why VAR didn’t award what he thought was a clear penalty against him.

Once England’s golden boys start moaning you can guarantee things will start to change.

He'll only have to trip up over his own feet in the warm-up and there'll be a reward in the first ten mins!

Did did he follow up with wondering how Rodri didn't get one the week before? HKIAFC! C stands for 'captain', if yer like!
 
The standard of decision-making has declined!!! Any objective measure of the penalty review process can see that there were 3 penalties at least that were not given despite VAR reviews:

City, Chelsea and Spurs lost out. (There may have been others too eg Martial).

My only explanation for this is that on-field refs are leaving difficult decisions to VAR review, and VAR review are only over-ruling ref if it was a clear and obvious error by the ref in not awarding a penalty. i.e. they may find that the player stood on the forward's foot, and conclude that the ref could not have seen that.

I am guessing here, because they are not explaining themselves.

It is an absurd situation where the game is being stopped by a system that does not yet work.

Why are the media not asking these questions?

I suggest that football fans who have been to these games contact the Premier League, and FIFA with objective explanations and observations.

They may genuinely think it is going OK.

Contrary to what others think, I think there's quite a decent chance that the Premier League will withdraw VAR in its current format. There is clear evidence that the standard of refereeing has declined since its introduction.

It took six years for NFL to bin their version of VAR, perhaps half full stadiums in England may force the FA to not take so long.
