The trouble is it was brought in to correct our useless officials but then we let them run it so we might as well not have botheredThis is it as I see it.
The VAR system shows the pictures for anyone to see. That all seems to work fine.
Then it hits the human element and it goes to hell in a bucket. The only place there is an error is in the decision-making of every official involved.
He is a cheat,allegedlyIs it me or is Oliver almost always involved in the most ludicrous VAR decisions?

,add to that they are not following the correct rules and keep lying like saying the refs can use the monitor when that is clearly not true,what will they come up with for next season I wonder,no doubt we will find out early doors again
yeah I think they tied themselves up in knots with the whole we made no mistakes line for the first couple of months,then admitted a couple,insisted they did a var check or 2 in the dipper game but didn't show it during the game or after,now they are stuck between lying and telling the truth,also Gallagher and Walton backing up every decision,it is no wonder most think it's bentIt would be helped at least in part if they would tell us what the reasoning was, and have the reasons make sense (Rodri/Spurs/Oliver springs to mind for lunacy).
The 'might as well not have bothered' part - it's certainly tempting. It would still be wrong, just differently.

Funny, I thought the "amateurs" operating it were professional referees, paid by PiGMOL.Idea might be right the implementation and amateurs operating it are shambolic
That's the way I see it too, in the long run VAR will go but not until they've damaged football irreparably IMO.
VAR’s going nowhere.
going back to one bloke running around with no help with the speed of the game is in the past.
VAR is SHIT but it will slowly improve , no other choice.

It will never improve while we still have the same incompetent wankers using it .VAR’s going nowhere.

If the VAR team are making worse decisions than a ref on the spot then its hardly working well.
I think these past two weeks they have made such a balls up it will be an excuse to scrap it for next season, it wouldn't surprise me if it were all deliberate as well

problem is , any VAR decisions that are correct which in previous seasons the ref would have missed are not getting highlighted at all - it’s only the decisions that VAR are not correcting that are being highlighted to an extreme proportion whilst forgetting the ref would have gave the same outcome anyway.

Thats the way it looks to me too....If the VAR team are making worse decisions than a ref on the spot then its hardly working well.

Mr Riley reflects the wishes of those who promoted him to his position. No more, no less.In business if you had a product rollout as poorly implemented and run as VAR is now heads would be rolling, Riley is either totally incompetent or totally corrupt, I would probably think the latter because he’s still in the job.
Just watching a few minutes of Arsenal whilst adverts on the Golf
Interesting to hear rat boy in commentary state that the commentary team listen to all the chat from/to Stockley Park and see all the video that VAR watch.
He than made the excellent point “if we can hear and watch why can’t the fans - in the stadium and on the telly?” Okay PL - what’s the answer please?
Also made me wonder what happens in international markets - do they all the stream and broadcast them too!
