VAR - 2020/21

[BlueHammer85]

No one is saying GLT hadn’t been brilliant!

But, we have learned it’s not infallible, so VAR should have said, “Hey Mike, that ball was in the goal. Come to the sideline and we will show you incontrovertible evidence, so you can make up your own mind.”

Done and dusted! And, more importantly, a correct on-field decision!

I’ve never said it was infallible. It has many flaws.
and yes on this 1 in 9000 incident they should have communicated better and got it right.

In my honest opinion and as I’ve repeated enough it is an improvement on the old way of officiating and will look at ways to improve.

It shouldn’t be a ref doing VAR, it should be a computer expert that simply cues up the exact moment the ball is touched by the passer and draws the lines to perfection, or creates as many angles as possible for the ref to see any incident, WITH THE ON-FIELD REF consulting the monitor!

Refereeing from a booth is EXACTLY what VAR was meant to avoid, but creep is always inevitable!

We need to respecify EXACTLY what VAR is and isn’t, and ANY decision made using VAR MUST be made by the designated ref for the game! No more hiding behind some twat in front of a computer!

The part of VAR about fouls needs to be refs. It also needs them to be competent.

Offsides needs something that works, which they don't have.

That fucking var against real madrid this week cost me £120 on a 2 draws double. Still don't know why their equaliser was ruled out.
Our game, scum game and that one had made 3 var farces in 2 days.
It's not even a joke anymore and is fucking the game right up.

Seriously the guy was standing a yard in front of the keeper when the shot was taken, because it got defected does not matter he was offside when the shot was taken and well in the line of sight of the keeper. Sorry you did not win the bet though

You wasn't sure why it was ruled out ?

farce and ruining the game would be allowing these goals to stand

I've never liked that rule. Unless they make an attempt to play the ball it should ignored, keeper's can see the play it's no excuse.

Yep, these sort of incidences were being missed more and more before VAR, it was a joke and people wonder why i support it.

He flicked his foot out. Became active as soon as he did. I've no problem with that goal being ruled out, all the sweeter seeing who it went against.
It shouldn't have required VAR to reach that conclusion in fairness.
