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

[BlueHammer85]

what level of error reduction would you be happy with ?
Outraged fans should not mean the game should be changed.

Ref not spotting a CLEAR dive and awarding a penalty
Ref not awarding a penalty when a player is CLEARLY fouled
Officials missing a CLEAR offside when a player is onside.

those above are what happens week in, week out without VAR.

VAR will get those clear ones correct 99% of the time, bar the odd miscommunication/fuck up which will always happen.

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

Just the people in charge.

How many times has your first one happened?
If the ref has deemed no foul then how does var find it a CLEAR foul?
Refs get the CLEAR ones right 99 of the time

On the first VAR is rarely used
On the second VAR is not used or supposed to be used if a ref is adamant (the cross wave arm gesture) it isn't a foul as the ref has been clear himself.
There would be no need for this with automated offsides, the ref would get a signal similar to the goaline tech.

Our offficials fuck all 3 up constantly myway with VAR.
VAR won't work effectively with our officials.

you are arguing the wrong point VAR isn't the issue but you won't accept it is useless, whoch it is while we have the darren englands, michael olivers and paul tierneys using it.

So get better officials on the monitor and you would stick with VAR ?

Yes, I am not anti VAR but at present it is not being used usefully, and auto offside tech needs to be brought in for it.

How much better can you expect one to be? I mean, these are professional referees with years of training. Being able to call a correct decision with the benefit of multiple slo mo replays shouldn’t be that fucking hard.

It’s ruined the game though mate. When was the last time you celebrated a goal without thinking to yourself “this will probably have to be checked”?

I know what you are saying, but you realise SAOT isn't the answer to life, the universe and everything? It will be just as flawed as now on the tight calls. Only quicker and with nice graphics to cover it up.
