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

Really? They obviously don’t have to get it right because they’re not accountable and the fan’s concerns about it are totally not important or taken into account don’t be so delusional

Premier League referees “suspended” after Manchester United victory over Wolves

Raphaël Varane scored the winner at Old Trafford but ref Simon Hooper’s decision not to award Wolves a late penalty incensed boss Gary O’Neil.

Read back i say he deserves the stick he gets and would welcome possibly disciplinary action

possible disciplinary action?! He should be sacked on the spot and Chelsea sue the bent ****

 

[BlueHammer85]

Don't worry, Bluehammer feels sorry for him because it must be stressful sat in the room!

absolutely it must be, I wouldn’t want to be making those decisions , takes me an age to make sure I’ve sent a work email correct. Sod that.

I don’t know the stats and can’t be bothered looking , but I would guess the number of correct VAR calls comfortably outnumbers the bad calls, and I mean 90% plus. The problem is when certain clubs that play in red get bizarre decisions given in their favour on a very consistent basis. That kinds of takes away the honest mistake angle which will happen, but it should even itself out.

They can refute as much as they fucking like, he has admitted to it lol

 

[blueinsa]

He is admitting a mistake

No, he is admitting to deliberately ignoring something he saw to aid his mate, knowing full in doing so he is going to change the outcome of the game!

Just admit to being fucking wrong lol

He made the decision and decided not to get him to look at the screen because he's his mate and having a bad game!! That's not stress, that's corruption!!

I'd love to see his views on this if it was a West Ham game that stopped them getting top 4!!

He would double down I’ve no doubt.

 

[HelloCity]

No need to get personal.

He is admitting a mistake, if he could turn back the time he wouldn't of done that. He didn't need to mention that decision and reasoning at all did he ? but he bought it up because he deeply regrets it.

Still think he deserves the stick and even disciplinary action.

A mistake where he knowingly and purposely made the wrong decision?

Yeh not taking about that specific incident

 

[I'm Blue]

“Clear and obvious”
Their get out of jail card.
Talking of Jail Dean should be payed a visit by the police.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

If they took VAR away would it improve refereeing?

Give it up

He deserves NO disciplinary action.

He's exactly the whistle blower that VAR needs.

Now they'll shut him up, denigrate him etc, and that will be a warning to anyone else who steps out of line.

He needs to be gotten on the radio to tell us all of the shenanigans in that VAR room.

No but if they took refs away it’d improve var.
Var is great technology run by corrupt idiots

 

[Barcon]

I read that as, "Mike Dean is a cheating, lying ****, unlike us, who do not cheat or lie.
As far as we are concerned, this is the end of the matter".

 

[BlueHammer85]

No but if they took refs away it’d improve var.

Do you honestly think they could find officials in VAR room that wouldn’t be labelled as this ?

It would take every single decision to be absolutely spot on and please everyone.

No it would need the decision making to be transparent and like in rugby union and even if some fans a dont agree with the decision they will understand how it was reached. At the moment everyone is in the dark as to what goes through the officials minds
