Var debate 2019/20
- Thread starter Chi-town blues
- Start date
Which is why you can't have some games with VAR and some without. Same competition, different rules apply!
Yeah, it's a ridiculous situation. They should scrap it from the cup competitions if they can't implement it in every game.
Agreed, but why does anyone think it's the right thing to do.
It doesn't matter.
VAR applies to both teams for the same amount of time. VAR doesn't have any home/away bias so it doesn't benefit anyone.
Shrewsbury are just as likely to have lost a goal from not having VAR at home, or gotten a positive VAR decision away from home that they wouldn't have gotten in Shrewsbury.
Having VAR in 1, both or neither of the games doesn't give either side an advantage in the tie.

I don't see a problem with having it/not having it in the cup. It is perfectly fair to both sides on the day.
If VAR had been in action in the first leg, Shrewsbury would likely have lost there.

Shrewsbury have as many VAR screens as both Liverpool & Man United combined.
What difference does a screen make? It makes no difference to what occurs, does it?
Wind your neck in, I was merely stating the fact that a lowly club has as many screens as the two biggest teams in the world.What difference does a screen make? It makes no difference to what occurs, does it?
Of course it matter, you are either on the wind up or don't understand. Let's go out to a restaurant, I have the full menu, you get just the starters. Same restaurant, different choices for people.It doesn't matter.

Are you an idiot? Both teams have VAR equally.
The equivalent to your analogy is we go to a restaurant and both get the menu, then next week we go to another restaurant and neither of us get a menu.
There is no point where Liverpool and Shrewsbury were not being refereed equally.

This is another administrative joke. It's just risible that teams can play in a single competition where the rules vary according to geography!
Thanks for calling me an idiot. Tell me who is operating the VAR at our match at Sheffield which is the same competitionAre you an idiot? Both teams have VAR equally.
