VAR - 2020/21

[Gray]

I would love to see the VAR questionnaire that is being sent out to PL Clubs, will the questions be the sort that we the fans would want answering.

Also will they have the guts to publish the results I suspect that even the Clubs that we perceive to be benefitting from the system, will be highly critical of the way it is working.

He did slip a little hitting it to be fair, although there's no way imo it could have come off his standing left leg and gone to the bottom left corner that sweetly, unless Sergio was aiming for the corner flag to begin with.

I thought we always aim for the corner flag when taking pens?

If we don't maybe we should start.

Generally the one in the park behind the stand.

It'll be on-line with pre-determined answers e.g;-

Q1 How well do you think the Premier League is utilising VAR?

• Extremely Very Well
• Very Very Very Well
• Very Very Well
• Very Well

I was going to post what a waste of time it is its not working but we all know that.
Thing is it is working exactly the way they want it to

VAR just exposes stupid mistakes from refs which they could easily cover without it.
Now, VAR is not perfect, not because of the technology, but because of the REFs who use the technology (Foden's rejected pen was a prime example).

We still feel annoyed by the final result of using it, but it will make football better over time. It would be fairer because now we can see mistakes from refs and discuss it more clearly with multiple angles from recorded videos (while before, we only use our "feeling" to discuss). So it will force refs have to improve their quality, and it's good in the long term.

Have you not noticed, they only use multiple angles when it suits.

Last season it was Operation Get the Rags into Top 4, now it seems VAR is being used to get the dippers there.

I watched the Wolves game last night and saw the injury to Rui Patricio.

As soon as the ball was played through to Salah, it was clear it was an offside as when the goal was scored, the linesman immediately put his flag up. He didn't pause, consult the ref or anything - straight up.

If the game had stopped when the linesman had raised his flag the would have blown his whistle and the game stopped. As a result, Rui Patricio wouldn't be waking up this morning in hospital with a horrendous head injury.

This has happened directly because of VAR messing with the game.
