Var debate 2019/20

[Dax777]

Anyone that thinks the spectacle is better for having var is deluded. More accurate, for sure, but the game does not flow as well at all. Thats clear.

A change in rules is completely different to a change in structure to the officiating.
As long as people are making decisions live, there is no delay, irrespective of the decision or the rule. Offside rule or no offside rule.
A ruling that is made 1 minute or 2 minutes later is a fundamental change and disrupts the game.
Not for the good

The game didn't flow as well either by adding Offsides. I'm sure a lot of purist whined about it when it first got instituted. But we grew used to it. And now we will grow used to innovations that reduces the error rate in that rule.

Also later decisions are not unique. Playing advantage is a type of delayed decision. We got used to that too.

The only thing constant about the rule of football is change.

Most American fans are already used to delayed celebrations. The technology will get faster and decisions will take 1-5 seconds instead of 20-30 seconds.

We will all be better for the accuracy. Except for the conspiracy theorists that is :)

Not the most persuasive argument.

 

[Dax777]

Not the most persuasive argument.

The intent was not to persuade, rather it was to inform. To let the inexperienced know that a few of us have experience with this, and it will be okay. :) The game will go on.











Enjoyably :)

VAR should assist refs and not the other way around. Would prefer it if it was there for them to call on rather than the other way around

Here's one for you. Nothing to do with us but, I was watching a TFC game a few weeks ago. Final whistle goes. players leave the pitch, people come on the pitch etc.
All players are called back and a penalty is awarded to the other team. Now that is fucking nuts. Oh yeah, the penalty was missed.

I'd love to know what TFC is.

Well actually I'm not really fussed what it is.

I just saw a handball in the Watford v Brighton game. It was a free kick & the ball hit the defender's arm..... NO PENALTY!

Mmmmmm....

Looks like a precedent. It looked like Murray moved his arm but not with the intention of stopping the goal bound ball, but it blocked the ball anyway, unintentionally. I've seen them given but more often not. I have seen a striker shoot against a defender's arm deliberately twice in same game and not given.

So what happened to any handball in the penalty area, even accidental ones are punishable? Wolves just had a goal chalked off for the same offence????

Couldn’t Puma design a kit that reduces our players profile, or make them invisible to var, like the military do with their hardware?

 

[Franny's toilet roll]

I think Edwin Starr said it best...….

I said, var, good god, now, what is it good for?
Absolutely, nothing
Say it again, var, what is it good for?
Absolutely, nothing, listen to me

Nice one, could play it over the stadium speakers every time we get a decision go against us. Think you've hit upon something , i really like it
