Slight twist there to my point.
If VAR has ‘killed’ football like so many repeatedly claim then why aren’t fans boycotting? And instead attendances/viewers are increasing?

Admit VAR hasn’t killed the game - And then we can move on to discuss the pros and cons.

I don't think it's killed the game.

Living upto my username though I thinks some people want rid of it for their benefit.

Over the weekend I lost count of various games where the pundits (including Linekar) said how great it is not to have the game delayed because of a VAR decision being made.

I'm all for technology that aids the official. It's just how they can manipulate to their advantage.

The introduction of semi automated offside will relive some pressure of the officials.

Fans don’t boycott because there’s no alternative- it’s not like giving your local Asda a miss because they’ve ruined your shopping experience.

You keep citing increased attendances / viewers - that’s despite VAR.

Let the authorities put it to a vote. Every season ticket holder gets a simple yes / no vote. How do you think the majority would vote?

We’ve now gone from not being sure whether to celebrate to leaving the game and not being sure the result will stand (see recent Belgium game).

I'd boycott football if i didn't get any enjoyment from it and especially if i thought it was corrupt.

More than happy to scrap it if everyone didn't scream corruption and moan about refs decisions which could had been addressed, simply by another official watching on a monitor.

Its obvious there's constant outrage with or without VAR, my personal preference is to stick with VAR and evole it to improve. Its perfectly fine for you or 99% of fans to feel opposite.

That is most certainly what you get without VAR.

VAR gives a chance to reduce those refereeing mistakes - it won’t and never will completely eliminate it.

It wasn’t all fine and dandy prior VAR, it was constant outrage about officiating, lots of rose tinted glasses that everyone will be happier if we scrap VAR - check the recent West Ham match v Bristol City when they should have had two clear red cards - our fans outrage and furious VAR isn’t in use.

Obviously it will always go round in circles this debate - I’ll always stick with keeping VAR because it always has room to improve and constantly evolve. It’s not great, it spoils the game at times, it gets things wrongs, it can be slow … I’ve highlighted the negatives of VAR over and over and over and happy to continue so.

Yer right, BH, about it constantly evolving - pen one half and fuck all the next half! As for improving? I think those who are operating VAR would be more than happy for it to stay in the format in which it is currently operated.

It wont improve or evolve with those cunts running it though and that herein is the biggest problem.

If you was a ref and there was a penalty decision that you had no idea about because of the angle or just unsure ? would you want a chance to have a quick check to see and give the correct verdict?

So despite the people running football being found to be corrupt on multiple occasions you dont think football is corrupt?

Question is to broad and generalised.

Because there’s been some examples of corruption in football in the history of the game that means it’s still corrupt at all levels , officiating ? organisations ? certain clubs ? Staff ? Players ? …

no it isnt, its a simple yes or no question, despite there being documented cases of corruption at virtually all levels of football do you still believe that it is not corrupt?
