I think the reason there is not a review system is the disrupting the flow of the game. Those other sports are stop-start so reviews do little to break the play up. However a review system is needed, I would suggest 2 per team by the manager but only for free kicks and pens when there is a pause.Perhaps they should do a review system like Cricket and Tennis,the captains have say 3 reviews per game.
If the captain thinks that the ref should go to the VAR screen (only circumstances that are are deemed worthy) then wouldn't this be a fair alternative?
I think you are on to something interesting here. One of the issues with VAR is the officials are all mates who back each other up. So if one VAR mate sees one ref mate make a mistake he gets him out of the sh!t by asking him to video-review it, at that point the decision has already been decided to be overturned by the pair of them before the latter has even seen the video. That way the ref is also backing up his VAR mate.Sorry I mean make the ref go to the screen and via microphone explain the decision taken and why.They certainly wouldn't have had a case to deny wolves a penalty on Monday if they had.
It really would be that simple.
Both Rugby codes are no more stop start than football is - but they take time to review incidents when they need to. And what I really like is that the onfield referee gets to watch it on the big screen along with the rest of us - and you hear them discussing it - explaining what they see and therefore what the appropriate punishment is (if any) and usually even though I don't always understand the rules you get to a point of saying "fair enough, I can see why you have come to the conclusion you have come to." When you look at some incidents in football - we are still scratching our heads trying to figure out how the referee's have seen something very different.I think the reason there is not a review system is the disrupting the flow of the game.

Exactly bud, how many times have we seen decisions that should have gone to the pitch side screen not being taken up by the referee or the twats in the VAR office.I think you are on to something interesting here.

However if a manager issues a video review the VAR official can keep out of it and the ref can look from another angle and review his decision with NO obligation to overturn it. No one is made to look incompetent and a fairer decision should result, the microphone would clarify it to everyone watching.
Indeed, look at Serie A and the scandals that's had.Its not incompetence. It is corruption and its organised.
Which is why no one will get the sack.
It's totally blatant. Just because its England, we
have this idea that corruption in football doesn't
take place. Just how many incidents and examples
do people need before they see it? The Premier
League is bent.
Not atmosphere as such but 71,000 deranged morons screaming for a penalty every time the ball goes in the area.Paid up lacky. Fucking bent cunts. The rag atmosphere is shit. The intimidation comes from the suits behind closed doors. Hiding behind the crowd is pathetic.
Doesn't VAR do that anyway? I'm sure wolves wouldn't have minded a bit of disruption last Monday to get the right decision rather than an apology.I think the reason there is not a review system is the disrupting the flow of the game.

Whats the point. Lets take the other night with the stonewall penalty, the bent Ref's would just say no pen as its against the Rags....

Howard Webb contacts Wolves over failure to award penalty

He said: 'I don't think the officials are trying to favour one side. I just think it's human nature. If there's a decision you're not sure about, everyone would be impacted by the Old Trafford crowd and the fact it's Manchester United.
'That's why I think VAR should be able to help more in those situations. Before I spoke to Jon Moss I was told it was not a clear and obvious error.
This is admission that they are afraid to give decisions at OT & Anfield & precisely why he’s instructed the refs previously to go with the on-field decision. Yet in his statement above he’s throwing his refs under a bus & saying they shouldn’t. The only thing that’s taken him by surprise is the media fuelled by social media outrage. In his hey day the media were complicit with “it evens itself out” bullshit.
I’ll say it again the corruption is unspoken but you know to be rewarded (perform well) you look after Rags & Dippers. He’s got to the top of his field for doing it.
