VAR - 2020/21

[dronefromsector7G]

Completely laughable tonight some of these decisions I’m seeing on MOTD from tonight’s 4 games

Fernandes has just said he didn’t feel he touched the ball ffs

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

You could see he didn’t get a touch if you just watched a few replays
Clear and obvious errors still occurring regularly
VAR has been a spectacular failure in England

VAR has to be being undermined on purpose by PGMOL, there is no way the officials can display this much incompetency for so long for it to be anything else.

It's a quick fix, mic up the refs and we can hear their conversation with the VAR official.

All it would have took was for the VAR official to say in the refs ear he needs to look at that challenge on Gundogan (or for the ref to ask VAR official if he needs to look at it). The ball goes out of play the ref watches it back on the screen and talks through what he's seen and the action he's going to take.

VAR used correctly will be a huge benefit to the game, this bastardised version and those responsible for its implementation/interpretation are killing the game.

Yes, they only changed their opinion twice.

"it's a great challenge"
review shown, clear doubt in the pundit's voice
"er, maybe he's,.."
decision upheld
"VAR happy, play on" yells the commentator.

It was bizarre when Bernardo wasn't booked relatively early on for a clear trip, but that decision was as good as most of the rest of them. A liverpool fan mate is gobsmacked by the Jesus non-foul in midfield.

You can always tell in a televised UK game when there's a mistake as the commentary shut the fuck up whilst they're either fed or thinking of how to spin whatever has happened.

When they know its an incorrect decision they'll be a long pause and then they'll either hope the game has moved on, one will talk about something completely none related or they'll talk about the wrong decision as though its correct.

Ha ha, if you’re on a fishing expedition, you’ve got me. How was that obstruction? Werner got in front of Tielemans, who then kicks Werner. The position Werner was in means he was in control of the ball.
That’s never obstruction & nailed on pen

Not fishing at all, i'm genuinely confused why this incident has got so much attention. No way is Werner in control of the ball. He comes from behind Tielemans whose already playing the ball, whats Tielemans supposed to do in that situation?

Pull out of kicking the ball I guess...ridiculous as it sounds as he probably hasn't intended to kick Werner, but does

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

The referee assaociation are fucking cowards. They have consistently made huge fucking errors and continue to do so even with the introduction of VAR.

As said above, get the referee mic'd up and the VAR ref so that it can be at the very least fed through to the tv studios for all to hear

Instead they hide behind their wall of silence knowing they cannot be held accountable - why all the secrecy !

Changes needed

It’s still shit.

 

[Hart of the Matter]

It’s still shit.

Was always shit, is shit, will always be shit....

Just announced on Bein that Lee Mason retiring tonight and will become a specialist VAR referee wtf

Is this a wind up?? Hes never been good enough on the pitch. Why would he suddenly be able to make decisions infront of a monitor. Ludicrous.
