Var debate 2019/20

[Damocles]

I'm usually a pretty rational and chill guy with this stuff. Never overreact to losses and try to always see both sides of an argument.

This VAR shit has got me almost shaking with rage. It's the stupidest shit I've ever seen and it's destroying one of my greatest passions in life.

At first I thought the introduction of VAR would help us and now I've realised it's there to manipulate results even more than before.

VAR is still run by humans and open to misuse and abuse
Bent as fuck

I think this is the most rounded reply anyone could give really.

The fix is in boys and we've just got to get to used to it. If that's not a penalty in the first half when Rodri/Laporte (can't remember which) was wrestled around the neck to the ground at a corner then whats the fucking point.

Theres nothing wrong with the technology.

It's the ****s that are operating it.

No one wanted “this”, it’s being applied idiotically.

Even people who wanted VAR cannot be happy with its implementation. It's infuriating. We shouldn't make this a VAR inners vs VAR outers issue. Instead it should be a City fan vs Cheating Corrupt Bastards issue

 

[Jumanji]

It makes me feel sick the decision but I'm comforted by the fact it was the correct call.

I said a long time ago, this should be used as an 'appeal' system where the ref has to go and look at the incident.

Not only that it should be seen on the stadium screens.

Less chance to get away with cheating in front of the whole stadium.

Dont be a dick. If we appealed the penalty it still wouldn't have been given. How does this appeal system work if the officials are bent. Makes no difference. 2 games (3 if you count the last Spurs euro match) and fckd over in each one. Some bellends refuse to see it.

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.

VAR's a fucking abomination. Goal celebrations will soon be a thing of the past for anything other than a 40 yard screamer.
