VAR Discussion Thread - 2023/24 | PL clubs to vote on whether to scrap VAR (pg413)

And Pawson wasn’t even going to give a yellow!

First glance I just saw him taken down. Thought Walker was overreacting.
Then I saw the replay.
Can’t fathom how fans wouldn’t want a ref to have the chance of a second look.

Webb has confirmed that the “Mic’d up” show is going to be a regular monthly programme, starting in September.

I’ll forgive them the rather underwhelming pilot show last season. Hopefully we’ll get to see/ hear something of a bit more interest.

God speed on your solo mission to try and bring some objectivity to this thread. This will be my only post on this thread.

99% of people on here aren’t here to really debate VAR, they’re here to show how it is 100% corrupt against us.

All the best, Stephen.

Worth noting all clubs feel there’s corruption and agenda’s against them. Boring and tedious.

He went for the yellow card and stopped, then had plenty of time to get some indication from VAR and finally gave a yellow. It's all hopeless until we hear what is said.

You think that isn't perfectly normal behaviour when the decision-making process isn't transparent? In fact, even if it ever becomes transparent?

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

The whole reason VAR is needed is because Refs continually miss incidents like this.

He saw it, and didn't think it was a Red card.

Another ref saw it and thought it was.

Can't even get consistency in the same match.

Just seen the penalties Coote gave for Brighton and Luton. Is he taking the piss or gave the LOTG changed again. Mike Dean said yesterday that the Luton penalty wasn’t one as he wasn’t even looking at the ball. Didn’t stop refs last season giving penalties cough cough FA Cup final. More importantly Dunk‘s arm was in an entirely natural position, hit his elbow tucked into his body yet ref and VAR still give penalty. As for the Brighton one, Luton’s defender just stronger. Complete joke yet again.

Refs and VAR will always favour the bigger teams (including us). The likes of Luton will lose points in at least 3 games over the season. Apologies mean nothing when there isn't a sincere effort to not make the same mistake multiple times.

It's the non-top 6 imo who should be shouting for consistency.

Also it's all City's fault and deserve to be docked points.

It is becoming more and more difficult to anticipate when a penalty will be given. And I imagine it is getting especially frustrating for the players directly dealing with the growing inconsistency.
