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

[Pingu the Penguin]

Debate is good. It’s when people tell you that football has never been better and link that to VAR that it strays into wind up territory.

Are we 4 years into VAR now? And it is still seriously flawed. What could have been good for the game is making it worse

Of course they have. They get unbridled abuse.

This thread isn’t for debate, it’s for people to shout VAR is shit 2500 times.

You should give this level headed approach a go in the politics sub forum…

I might call you lots of things, but I’ve never called you a WUM or a troll for expressing a different opinion.

 

[blueinsa]

would you scrap it completely or keep it and implement it better?

Scrap it.

Simply no faith in PiGMOB ever implementing and using the technology in a fair way.

I’ve not posted on Twitter since 2013, so you don’t need to check there ;-)

When people see the Jota incident it will be questioned. So how did they miss that?What are your thoughts.

so you have more faith in officials without video tech ?

you have more trust that they will get more penalty/offside decision correct and in a fair manner than not without video help?

I think Webb has been a dreadful appointment and he needs sacking now.

The ridiculously high bar for overturning a penalty on field needs lowering. If there is any doubt, VAR should make the referee look at the decision again without dictating what they think.

The 3 penalties given this weekend at Villa and Liverpool should all have ended in a yellow card to the attacker for diving and VAR hiding behind minimal contact is not right.

I didn’t say that did I?

My thoughts on PiGMOB as an organisation have never changed, not fit for purpose and standards of its officials poor at best, corrupt at worst.

I’d get rid tomorrow and have the PL bring in the best officials from across Europe for games. If VAR is to stay, officials communications broadcasted in real time to both tv and stadium so that any decisions taken are clear with reasons why.

Only that will do.
