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

[Alan Harper's Tash]

True, more aimed at the social media side nowadays and the reaction after a bad/wrong decision - also so easy nowadays to clip one example in one match to another and scream ‘where’s the consistency!’ Just think so many fans are conditioned to think the world’s against them and can’t ever be rational when decisions go against them.

They do it in American football and it’s good, everyone knows what’s going on and why.

Still no direct VAR comm's though which means they can just make shit up and tell the ref what to say.

Why don't they do like they said they would do.
Have a big screen in every ground to show the reviews.....

Not all clubs have screens. Notably the Rag's and the Dipper's.

That’s a bit misleading. I’ve just watched the ‘Mic’d Up’ programme. He didn’t say referees are set to start announcing it. He said it is one of the things that they are looking at.

I saw a few clips of it in action in the ladies World Cup and it was all a bit underwhelming anyway. Basically just putting into words what was blindingly obvious by the way they were restarting play.

Who said that was going to happen?

That's what they said before it was introduced.

There is an almighty effort to keep a lid on corruption , bias at the very least , not to mention racism towards our owner , no reason not be be transparent , unless there are plenty of reasons ..

You can't seriously believe there's a concerted plan to make decisions unfairly against City? That's bonkers if true, although every fan forum seems to think their side is being victimised.

Funny that fans always remember the decisions that go against them but never the ones in their favour.

Absolutely no way are there any signs that City are being singled out for harsh treatment. There have been some poor decisions for sure (Dippers at Etihad for one) but also some that went the other way (Dippers at Anfield), pretty much the whole Brighton match. I reckon it evens out for the top sides as they create so many chances and maybe doesn't even out for the bottom sides as they create much fewer chances so poor decisions may unduly skew the numbers.

If City are being victimised then so are Forest, Wolves, Dippers, Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea and Everton.

What would be the point anyway of doing it?
