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

[give it to gordon]

I thought had a fairly good first weekend but I forgot the rags hadnt played.

The rags played and VAR proved to the world it's as bent as a nine bob note. Fucking disgraceful, bent, cheating, bent , bent bent . This game should be null and void. Fucking disgraceful

Personally it should be mandatory for every ground in the league to have a big screen, as well as the audio during VAR decisions to be heard by the crowd to at least try and understand the rationale.

They don't want that, because that creates a level of accountability and these clowns hide behind their boss.

Thing with var is at the big clubs away from home the referees can and don't give the big decisions and leave it to var to make it and with the margin of what they are told they'll always have an excuse not to give it! Sorry if they had 3 referees in the var room asking them if that was a penalty all would say yes if it was West Ham away of 99% of any other teams!

I watched that video of Neville and Carragher visiting Stockley Park and I was shocked at how luxurious it was. Seriously, how much did that cost? Gyms and massages, for Christ's sake. But they can't implement SAOT because it is too expensive. They should be sat in vans in the car park like some police surveillance operations, if you ask me.

I'm sure someone on here said that clubs were against this hence why it wasn't implemented.

That's classic messaging when you don't want to do something. Phrase the resolution in a negative way and then say the meeting agreed to it. Boardroom manoeuvering grade 1.

Involving United getting three points.

To be fair, United didn't benefit from VAR overall last season.

One game for VAR to work on last night in a newly equipped £10m hub with 30 cameras and big Howard on the floor calling the shots. Utter destruction of all credibility in one act of blatant match fixing. Webb should go but they may as well abandon the whole cheating circus it's a sick joke.

Is Grey Whitebloom the nom de plume of Howard Webb? That really can't be a real name can it?
