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

Correct, the Jones sending off wasn't harsh - he rolled over the ball and nearly bent the player's ankle backwards. The other sending off was also deserved if only for the stupidity of trying to make a tackle that had virtually no chance of coming off and just after being booked.

I had no issue with both red cards, thought they were justified

Don't forget when Aguero's goal wasn't given v Arsenal in FA Cup semi final Sane's cross was judged to be out of play when it was in. Are we going to get that fixture replayed also? Could name a dozen other incidents we've been robbed why do L'pool fans think this is unique to them? Cry me a river....

Rumours are that the global temperature went up half a degree at the weekend due to the number of burning candles across Murkyside.

I'll tell you what. If these cunts get this replayed I want the Spurs CL Quarter Final replayed.

When they start replaying matches for wrong decisions football is over - At the moment there's a delay in celebrating a goal, imagine waiting weeks to celebrate a win.

It appears that VAR in this case thought the goal had been given on the field so “check complete” was supposed to mean award goal.
Easily remedied by use of protocols where all VAR verdicts state positive outcomes. Thus: No goal, offside…..Award goal, no offside…..No goal, foul. Etc etc.

Whichever way the excuse is dressed up - VAR officiating was still at fault.

Mate. VAR is fucked and if no one kicks off about it, it will remain so. Hopefully, something may now come about because one of the darling clubs has kicked off. Hopefully, some traction may occur if others do similar

The only thing that will come out of this, imo, is no more red cards for Liverpool this season unless they actually kilk someone and plenty for us. Don't kid yourself.

VAR made the correct decision i.e it was a goal, but they said “check complete” and this was interpreted on the ffield as “offside”. A perfect illustration of why the military, the police, the NHS all use protocol based messages. Mind you, they have to use them unlike Cressida Dick in the case of the Brazilian electrician. The Met have a protocol sentence for “Stop that person, you can shoot him, if necessary”. Dick failed to use it and an innocent guy was shot 11 times as a result. Dick was promoted.

been saying it since var first came in that the only way that people will trust it is if the refs conversations are available to everyone but the problem then is how do you get away with giving dodgy decisions at the swamp and klanfield, the dippers should be careful what they wish for

It's so obvious it's ridiculous it isn't already done. But again, it raises the question what these VAR operators (how many are there?) are watching. Not the game, obviously.

Clear communication and a clear protocol for reviewing different decisions is required. Basic stuff.

That Spurs game just fucking hurts the most, haha!
