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

[dadnlad]

Quite a few teams show live pictures. I’m assuming they don’t show any replays if it’s possibly a controversial incident. Although I’m that observant I can’t pretend that I’ve ever actually noticed.

i dont think they show og either till at least half time or full time

List of very questionable VAR interventions (or lack of interventions) continues to grow by the game.

And the on-pitch officiating in conjunction with VAR continues to be very questionable.

Just seen the two incidents and pretty clear that the PL want this title go down to the end. The bigger thing for me, are they also going to choose who wins it?

Fucking bent bastards. How can any genuine football fan defend that?

Just saw/heard the audio of the incident in the Forest-Everton match that Webb admitted should have been a penalty.

You have both the referee getting the on-pitch decision wrong (saying that the Everton player played the ball, which he didn’t, he went through the back of the foot of the Forest player) and the VAR getting their review wrong.

VAR watches many replays of the incident from many angles, seeing the player didn’t play the ball, and not only never tells the referee that the Everton player didn’t play the ball, but trying to saw that both players were tussling for the ball, despite the video replays, from every angle, showing no evidence of that, only evidence of the Everton player coming in from behind and both barging the upper back and kicking the back of the Forest player’s leg in the box.

Referee seeing something that didn’t happen in real time (forgivable), followed by the VAR seeing something that didn’t happen with the benefit of slow motion replays from five different angles (unforgivable).

And you wonder why so many fans have such little confidence in referees or VAR.

Had Radio 5 Live on for the 2nd half of the Arse game. Every one of the punters with Chapman in the studio said the Bournemouth goal should stand 100% and the ref would be referred to the monitor. There were audible gasps of disbelief when VAR didn't intervene. Peter Bankes should be stood down at the very least before a double apology from Howard Webb. Not that the apologies do any good when VAR (in current guise) isn't fit for purpose @BlueHammer85
