Correct, but it will not sort out all the discrepancies that we currently see .

Of course, no system will ever be perfect, but it will reduce incorrect decisions, not iradicate them.

Let's hope that all clubs benefit from it, rather than certain clubs, who currently appear to get the iffy decisions on a fairly regular basis.

I've just watched it on the BBC website and the guy who was fouled may well have been just offside too. Need to see a better angle.

The crazy thing is they booked the Barnsley player for the foul and then let a Burnley player put the ball on the penalty spot. All the other players are on the edge of the box ready for the penalty. The official then changes it to offside after a review and the yellow card is now wiped clean. Farcial, the ref should keep hold of the ball until a decsision is made, and also not book the defender unless it was ruled as a penalty.

Just seen the Burnley VAR decision, comical. They over ruled the penalty decision with the player waiting to run up to take the penalty. The Burnley player in the incident wasn`t involved in play and shouldn`t have been ruled offside.

Difficult to see how VAR will improve things in this country, if the idiots who make the decisions out on the pitch are the same ones employed to do the VAR revues. We need neutral foreign referees for this new bit of technology.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Ok mate, losing the will to live. We disagree and I see you've already decided your VAR agenda for next season.

It's coming in. Get used to it.

It's going to favour Utd & Liverpool.

Get used to it.

I agree with that. All they need to do is say they are checking offside and all that confusion would disappear.

That's your agenda written already. It's not even come in yet.

Salah brushes a defender in the penalty area and goes down as if shot by a sniper in the stands, ref awards a penalty to the scouser's.

The VAR revue system kicks in and after a minute or two the referee says the penalty stands and shows a red card to the defender.

You know it makes sense!

 

[Neville Kneville]

I thought you didn't want to discuss it.

I have been discussing it on here, for years, & I am telling everyone who thinks it will miracously stop rags & scousers getting reffing advantages they are living in fucking cloud cuckoo land.

It is all still about 'interpretation'.

We have just seen a clear example.

And that is your interpretation; not fact.

 

[Neville Kneville]

And that is your interpretation; not fact.

It's a fact, that the commentators hadn't noticed the 'penalty'.

Normally they wouldn't, as there wouldn't be one.

Not sure the commentators have a say on decisions?

 

[Neville Kneville]

Not sure the commentators have a say on decisions?

No.

Neither would anyone else, as it would be 'play on'.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

No.

Neither would anyone else, as it would be 'play on'.

In your opinion.

 

[Neville Kneville]

In your opinion.

In reality.

Not my fault the two coincide.

Lol. I'll leave you to your closed mind and agenda driven obsession against VAR.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Lol. I'll leave you to your closed mind and agenda driven obsession against VAR.

That's a very closed minded comment.

 

[ancoats]

over £400million spent you would hope you had enough to beat reading but needing a helping hand by VAR ?????

 

[inchy14]

When does Cheech come on?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

That's a very closed minded comment.

Definitely. One of us will wait to see what impact VAR has next season. The other has already formed their opinion of how it will play out and decided it's skewed against us already.

Which is the closed minded approach?
