VAR Discussion Thread | 2024/25

Can’t remember where I saw this but I think I read somewhere that technology is overtaking the UEFA system and the Premier League don’t want to bring in something that will soon have been overtaken by the likes of the one they’re going with.
Jogged my memory it’s to do with the ball and its sensor technology the UCL ball provider Adidas has patterned technology that they won’t share with the Nike the PL ball supplier
 
I don’t think that would be practical. There’s a lot of leagues around the world using different variations of a VAR system, that don’t have the money or the infrastructure to use the high tech. versions that are used in World Cups, UEFA Comps. Etc.

Fair enough.

All applied globally where the infrastructure and money are available, then. Is there any reason why FIFA, UEFA and the big leagues in Europe, for example, shouldn't use the same guidelines and systems?

I suppose it’s that FIFA oversee the game globally, but they don’t dictate every detail that all competitions should adhere to.

Similar to why all competitions aren’t required to use the same football or pitches must have identical dimensions I suppose.
 
It's getting ridiculous now. There should be one set of guidelines for interpreting the lotg and the VAR protocol, there should be one VAR system, there should be one SAOT system. All applied globally.

What a mess. It's an absolute farce.
SAOT system?

Possibly. A bit weak, though imho.

The whole sport needs better administrators at every level..
 
The referee may miss something or even make a genuine mistake, at this point Var can step in and ensure the mistake is rectified.
On the other hand, the referee can see a foul and take the necessary action. Var can review it and decide he has made the correct decision.


Unless it's a decision against the red shite, at this point, some unknown panel will fuck over the referee and Var and tell the world they were incompetent.

But only when it's the red shite
 
I don't understand the appeal. How many time does an incident need looking at ?

1st Ref said red card
2nd VAR said red card
3rd AP no red card.

How can both the on field ref and VAR get it wrong ?

Surly this outcome would mean severe action against the on field ref and VAR. They both have fucked up and could of effected the outcome of the game.

Obviously I'm being sarcastic ! We know why it was over turned.

How much longer can football carry on with this clear cheating in favour of rags ?

Two football lunge/stamp should have been a red card, above the ball tackle red card than AP reduce it to yellow. 75million quid deal to avoid ffp, it stinks

The whole shit tip needs cleaning up
 
Forest have received a huge fine for criticising crap VAR decisions and implying Atwell showed bias as a Luton fan.


Watch the VAR protocols in the RL Final.

All crystal clear, quick and open. No dispute.

As per cricket & tennis.

What have PIGMOL/FA/PL/Sky got to hide ??

Corruption in plain sight !!

Calls in tennis tend not to be subjective so VAR is easy. Cricket less so but there are still a lot of straightforward decisions. Football is a lot trickier particularly relating to handball where the interpretation seems to change week by week.
As for fouls, we still have too many instances of fouls in the box not being awarded with commentators and pundits saying "that would be a foul anywhere else on the pitch", a distinction not made anywhere in the laws of the game.
I accept these microphone jockeys are rarely qualified refs, but I think we've all seen and thought the same thing when watching games.

The decision process should be live in stadium and on TV.

For as long as they're not suspicion will rightly continue.

Complete transparency !!

I agree with complete transparency but I believe the bigger problem is consistency. Offside in one game is onside in another. That could be reduced with semi-automatic offsides but would still leave the "interfering with an opponent" aspect open to interpretation.
Handball decisions must be judged more systematically and there should now be sufficient examples from every angle for greater consistency to be achieved. Every time you see a defender running with his hands behind his back to avoid a potential handball call is an indication that those who apply the laws don't have a clue about human movement. As for defenders trying to jump with their hands by their sides......

If they had said Atwell is a fucking shitface cheat, would that have been more acceptable?

He's just incompetent. A great referee, but nobody knows in which sport.
They could probably have questioned his interpretation of the laws, but to suggest cheating is to cross a line. However if he really supports Luton then you have to question why he was on VAR if Luton could benefit from an Everton victory.
