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

[BlueHammer85]

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

I get bored of every single club and it's fanbase claiming corruption for refs decisions they don't agree with

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).

Season ticket holder here..I vote against var

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?

No i don’t believe the whole of football is corrupt.

No i don’t believe the whole of football is corrupt.

I firmly believe that games are being officiated in a manner to 'keep them competitive' as long as possible in order to keep TV audiences 'entertained', which is by definition corruption.

No i don’t believe the whole of football is corrupt.

[BlueHammer85]

theres 7 to get you started and at no point did i say that the whole of football was corrupt, what i said was do you believe that it isnt corrupt given that there has been documented corruption at all levels in and most cases all leagues.
