Var debate 2019/20

Some people are stubborn and just refuse to get it. VAR is run by humans who could be inept and/or corrupt. Unlike the ref and linemen, they are hiding inside a room, which makes it much easier for them to f**k any team they choose. VAR is the beginning of the end of the beautiful game. It is the hypocrisy of football governing authorities to show they are “modernizing” football to follow American style of sports. American sports; American football, ice hockey, baseball, and basketball, are so dumb boring because of VAR and similar tools used all the time.
 
I stand by the comment that the technology is a good idea.

But when provenly corrupt, biased agenda driven ****s are watching and making the decision it will NEVER be implemented correctly.

Trust me, we will be the only ones to receive consistently bad decisions over the course of the season, I mean we’re three deep and only played two fucking games!

This is how they will stop us this year. I’m sure they’ve already had the orders. No-one in control of the league wants us to win three on the bounce.
 
Can’t argue the VAR decisions were correct. The Pen was not a clear and obvious error although I would argue Oliver just didn’t see it so Var should have taken a look. The handball rule is a joke and I’m sure the intention of the rule change wasn’t to disallow gosls like today but that’s what we’ve got now. Oliver obviously saw the ball hit arm so without VAR I think he would have disallowed it anyway.

For me getting decisions 100% is just not worth what we have lost from the game. Now every goal is a half celebration half waiting for replay to see if some fraction of a decision would cost us.

This is fucking disgusting. We finally get a thing that could stop a cheating in football and they just regroup and cheat again.

You're tripping bro. It was the correct decision based on the new rules. It's shitty as fuck but it is what it is.
 
Crowds will fall away over VAR and the way it completely takes away emotion for the fans and it’s only then will it be fucked off.
 
I have a problem with VAR. Sport is entertainment, and the glory of a last minute winner is the ultimate in football entertainment. Its being destroyed by VAR. I was for the technology initally, but this isn't as much fun to watch so something is wrong.
 
Not posted for years. But today I am. If this is what the FA have come up with then forget it. It's a waste of time watching this fucking league if it's 11 Vs the establishment every match. There's been plenty of dodgy referee decisions without VAR and now it seems they are doubling down on it. A big fucking swizz.

Yes, that would be the only way it works, to limit its use and give control to the players. Still, unless we as fans are not privy to their systems, the technology used looks woeful inadequate to make such big decisions.

The way it works now with with complete ambiguity will be an utter disaster in this game. With the nature of football, I don't see it changing. I am adamant that it turns away a huge amount of fans from here on in from all teams.

Agreed.

The point was the players AND the ref are involved in the game.

This version is nonsense!

At least the players get to play the game properly if it was a challenge system.
 
I’m fucking fuming at the moment partly with the missed chances but more so with this VAR farce I knew it would fuck us over I mentioned it in the pre match thread,after the West Ham game I became suspicious of our games going to be reffed differently regards VAR,this will be the norm each week,wouldn’t be at all surprised to see a similar incident in the box in one of tomorrow’s games and VAR reviews it and gives the pen,VAR as some have mentioned is fantastic in principle but the cnuts operating it are making decisions that beggar belief..edit just to add it’s at the stage every goal we score I’m expecting ruled out regardless if there has been no foul or infringement leading to it ...
 
Arms around the neck pulling down Rodri = No penalty....clearly not a “clear and obvious ‘mistake’” (as if these refs are going to call their mate on a clear and obvious mistake unless someone loses a leg in a challenge?!
Sterling pulls back full back = Foul and yellow card

However, on the “goal,” it is simply the introduction of a completely stupid rule and VAR doing what it was told to do!!!

That said, I’d like to see multiple angles, because that ball goes between the players (Laporte and Skipp) and while we all are treated to the “fact” that it hits Laporte on the arm (not him hand balling it, of course!) does it also hit Skipp on the arm?

And, if it did, would it be a penalty???? Answer = NO!!! RIDICULOUS!!

So, as they say, it all evens itself out in the long run...let’s see how this season’s VAR plays out, because we’ve been fucked HARD so far!!!

really? Was the Rodri's hacking correct decision? Was the Laporte pulling the correct decision?
 
There is zero point in penalty decisions being “clear and obvious” whilst innocuous accidental handballs are classed as being definitive. It’s completely counter intuitive and makes a mockery of their own rules.

Technology isn’t the issue, the interpretation of their own rules that is.

So far we’ve seen three goals disallowed in the last two league games and CL game and it’s beyond a joke.

It would just mean EVERYTHING is challenged!
