Me too.Would love to hear the conversation at last years derby at the swamp
I'm not sure tbh. In principle, VAR should benefit the game overall and would do if used professionally.
You only have to look at both Rugby and Cricket to see it's value.
It beggars belief that the FA are not willing to make the system transparent and ensure fans can see and hear what is being discussed and why For me there are two reasons for that
Firstly, it would highlight the poor level of refereeing standards that exist in the PL and secondly (and worse), it allows decisions to be made by faceless souls who have no accountability.
This will fester until more clubs do as Liverpool did and publicly kick off.
Blowing the whistle didn't stop them awarding a penalty at the Swamp after the game had finished.Agree with you, except live broadcast of the discussions wouldn't have made any difference at Spurs. They got the decision right, they say. They communicated it wrongly. They can say "check complete"* live as well. Referee immediately blows his whistle and the game has restarted. Too late.
Jimmy Liddel will edit it accordingly...SSN have just confirmed that Livarpool have now got the audio.
Couldn't agree more. I've added a couple of stats:Quick summary from 2 year ago from 30 second Google. Look at the numbers and divide by 20. Then ask yourself is it worth it?
Is adding 8 minutes on to matches worth it to correct 5 decisions in a season? Is having the spontaneity taken away from every goal worth it? Maybe in 3 or 4 big games per season is it worth it but for the overall picture its just not. The correct decision isn't the be all and end all, we're being sold that like its fact. I always thought the phrase:it evens itself out over the season" to be complete bullshit but I'd take that over this nonsense.
