VAR - 2020/21

[kaz7]

The egg chasers showing how VAR should be used, big screen, ref miked up talking to the booth official. What’s not to like?

They are running out of excuses now , the broadcasters have to apologise for bad language every game right now , they can easily do that if it is picked up by refs mics

I will always think it is being manipulated to give certain teams what they need till we can hear and see everything and the dippers and rags get screens , still not heard a reason they cant do that

we know why ? they are not mic up because they are cheats and controlled by somebody sat in a studio
also they are under orders from the top man mike riley and any fuck ups they are done and demoted

VAR in its present form is hopeless, either sort it out with independent operators or scrap it all together.

Another good night for VAR last night. Not one person other than Coote thought that was in the box and as 1 said if it takes that long to review it, how is it a clear and obvious error.

Those that apply the laws of the game seem to have no concept of what it all means to us, the supporters.
The ref makes a decision, but if that decision is wrong and he does nothing to rectify the situation it means nothing to him. He fucks up and just thinks 'Oh, well. These things happen. Onward and upward'. But we feel the hurt and the anger for the rest of our lives. Many of us fans are still seething with anger over decisions that went against us years and years ago, while the referee who made the decision that caused us so much anguish has probably even forgotten about the match, such was the irrelevance of the result to him.

We as supporters are being short-changed and it's high time something was done about it. The way things stand incompetence and/or corruption are destroying our national sport. And we are seemingly content to let it continue.
The only way we are going to get a change is to act, and act now. Choose a date, some day next season, when we all agree to boycott a game and let those in charge know exactly how we feel about their blatant manipulation of the rules. If enough football supporters across the country joined in they'd get the message.

Their are 2 possible reasons why the PiGMOL/FA don't want to open the curtains on VAR:

Either it's being used to manipulate the outcome of games, or they don't want people to realise that the standard of refereeing is so poor.

Given that we already know how poor the standard of refereeing is, the only plausible answer is corrupt intent.

how on earth can a man sit in a studio miles away call all the shots ??

the technology is not 100%. the lines are not 100%. the cameras are not in line. timing of the ball leaving the foot can not be judged proper. the strength of a foul can not be judge on video. and handball can not be deemed deliberate

so how as football and its club let this happen and let VAR take over ? one right call over 100s of wrong calls seems daft odds to me. clubs can not let this keep happening ? VAR has to be cut back to offside with a margin of error for the lack of technology and in or out of the box that's it

I'm still massively f*cked off with 'Alty' Taylor over the Sideshow Bob incident at the Etihad.

VAR should stay strictly with the Clear & Obvious Error. If an offside is by a good margin but missed, it is a C&OE. The VAR team should get one replay (at normal) speed, if they can't tell from that, then the on-field officials have not made a C&OE. Last week, you could clearly see that the ref' had his back turned to the Fred incident. That is where VAR can intervene (despite the outcome).
