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

VAR as a basic concept is a must.

The execution of it in the Premier League is beyond farcical.

World cup showed how it's supposed to be used. Get used to playing without it will screw us up in Europe.

The theory of VAR is great, the delivery is fucking awfu

It was supposed to be like a Kevin De Bruyne throughball but has ended up as one of those Kyle Walker passes to no one when he has got inside the penalty atea

I agree but it's been in operation for 5 seasons now and it's still controversial, and decisions are taking longer than they should be.

I saw Rishi Sunak hitting a nail in with the side of a hammer (mis-use), should we get rid of hammers?

Being in the stadium and nt being able to properly celebrate a goal through the trepidation of seeing a goal chalked off on the big screen by VAR has taken a lot of (previous) pleasure from attending Live games. Not only that, the fans at live games often have no idea what's happening because VAR incidents are not shown on the big screens. At least you get to see replays on the telly.

The sooner they fuck VAR off the better I think.

Couldn't agree more, most of the time now if it's tight I wait for it to be officially given, it's taken the whole joy out of celebrating a goal.

The officials in charge of it are the 1s that need scrapping

Rags would win the title if they binned it.

VAR makes PiGMOL accountable. Albeit very little.

Bin it off, ref are too shite to use it and the rules around it are not fit for purpose.

come up with a proper plan for its use and extensive training and improved technology then it could return at some point

VAR ruined the first goal for me. Lingering doubt stopped me fully celebrating. Good job by you technology. Cunts.

exactly the same mate. Think Haaland probably even thought it was offside. Muted celebrations all around, awful. Scrap it.

VAR is a blight on the game and has been since day 1. Ruining the football experience no end. Here's hoping they get rid.

Needs merging.
