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

Clearly not fit for purpose, or maybe it is depending on what you want it to do

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

By any chance, did Sky just wash it away as part of the game and was a subjective call?

The power of RatBoy and Gobber, you can see why they are their.

Influencers, it’s worse than Twatter. Now onto Dermot who will brush it completely under the carpet.

Laughable.

How the hell did Wolves not get a penalty?

Wrong coloured shirt?

There was no way Hooper was giving that at the swamp in the 97th minute when the rags were one up. Not if he wants any meaningful games this season. His mates on VAR just backed him up. Corrupt as fuck.

Cannot believe how corrupt this has now become. But as PIGMOL are not accountable to anyone, it will only continue, I guess. Is anyone going to call it out, though. If Wolves don't tonight, it seems not.

PiGMOL are accountable to the PL, who are paid for by the likes of Sky. Easy to see how these decisions are made.

Ref: "Have I missed anything clear and obvious?"
VAR: "Well the goalie punched a lad in the face."
Ref: "So, no?"
VAR: "Exactly. Tell you what though, go and book their manager to really rub it in."
Ref: "Good idea".

Its supposed to be there to correct clear and obvious errors.
If that wasn't clear and obvious nothing is.
As I say, just another tool to corrupt things further.
What is your explanation for VAR not insisting he goes and looks at it?

That they are corrupt and cheats and that they will continue to be corrupt and cheat wether VAR is there or not. The problem is the corruption and cheating not the VAR technology THAT WORKS IN OTHER SPORTS WHERE REFEREES ARE NOT CORRUPT.

 

[Saddleworth2]

It’s as simple as that really isn’t it

No it’s as simple as root out the corruption. Everything else is immaterial.

The only possible excuse I could suggest the referee could use IMO was that even though Banana clattered the Wolves guy is that the collision happened well after the ball had gone. However, this in itself is inexcuseable as if a defender clatters a forward after the ball has gone itr is deemed a late tackle and appropriate action is taken (a penalty of its in the box), so really I've just written a load of bollocks as it was a fucking foul and a penalty - back at it again...

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

We all seen how Riley got the job, and then the PL appointed the even bigger Rag, who admitted, by omission, to allowing corrupt play to go on.

Bit or a farce.
