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

Would you want VAR scrapped?


  • Total voters
    293
  • Poll closed .
But the PL continue to refuse to do this…


Thanks for that is a great watch. I like seeing that side of the game.

Maybe I'm not remembering correctly but I could've sworn that there was a statement from some at pgmol or the pl saying that they weren't allowed to release the footage like that so had to summarise it only?

Edit- my mistake.
“We can’t play it live in game. That is not allowed within the laws of the game. FIFA don’t allow it to be played out during the game."

Because the last time they trialled it they had to stop it after 1 game due to a coked up (probably) Tony Adams continuously swearing his head off
Yeah, that is definitely the reason and there is no way to fix the swearing issue. ;-)

Yes, that was the excuse given. And then several other officials said that it is not true and there is technically no prohibition of live official communications.
 
I thought they were using the graphic they use in the Chumps League this season for offsides?
Is it called the semi automated system or summat?!

This wouldn’t work here because:

1. VAR would not intervene.

2. If VAR did have the bollox, the ref would look at the screen, shrug shoulders and carry on with initial decision.

The implementation of VAR isn’t the issue, it’s the direction that the powers that be have chosen to take.
