VAR Discussion Thread | 2024/25

Just watching the unbridled joy of Charlton goal in play off tonight. Fans players coaches going crackers. Knowing no **** is going to pull it back for some technical shite.
Oh, I miss that. The thing we live for - our team scoring. Then going bananas.
But hey, VAR, it’s progress.
Fuck off VAR. and when you’ve fucked off, fuck off that little bit more will you.

But the alternative is that they put the flag up and stop play which leads to mistakes the other way... Goal chances being denied. In fact I think that's why we are where we are now with the rule.

Personally I think they need to get the auto offside sorted then it's a mute, moot point.

No. Go with the linesman. And if he makes a mistake, tough titties. Just like we had for 150 years before this shit

That's the spirit! And that's the energy that needs to return to the whole of football. Those moments of pure unmitigated unbridled joy has been taken away and we're at risk of forgetting what that feels like. But fortunately we're reminded of what that feels like in the 2nd and 3rd tiers.

Football is all about the moments of going bananas and we can't really do that when a certain unwanted something is in place. There's no progress in removing that from the beautiful game. It's regress, and annoying regress at that. And even the occasional howler, the feeling of being wronged (once in a while, as long as it's in the moment) added a certain guile and grittiness to it all. And sometimes it would come back around and you would get away with one down the road and feel that it was justified because something went against you previously.

Even the feeling of getting away with something occasionally has a certain satisfaction to it. It's all part of the charm of it all. They've lost the plot with this whole ordeal, clearly.

Yeah but, VAR, it’s progress. (So says our resident “expert”. He doesn’t actually go to matched btw.)

Think about the amount of times pre-VAR that the linesman put his flag up incorrectly and stopped play when he should have kept it down (for something marginal lets say) vs the amount of times with VAR that they've let play continue and something happened as a result (a goal, a corner, a penalty, a foul, etc) and it turned out (following a review) that he should have put the flag up right then and there, and they end up having to "erase" a whole sequence that incorrectly played out.

Lets face it, the former (pre-VAR the lino putting his flag up incorrectly and stopping play) happened very rarely. The latter (VAR linos keeping their flag down and letting play continue fraudulently) doesn't just happen far more regularly than the rare premature incorrect flagging without VAR, but if we're honest, it happens almost every time there's an offsides nowadays.

So they've taken something that maybe happened once in a blue moon and we could certainly live with, and we're replaced that ith something else that's wrong (and even more annoying in some ways) that happens almost every time there's an offside. So this new way of doing things, of keeping the flag down nearly every time it's even remotly close, is not in any way better. It's increased the likelihood of an undesirable event each time there is a possible offside.

Progress
 
Maybe we should bring in some sort of video assistance for referees so they don't make mistakes due to the high speed nature of the game. I think allowing referees and some sort of video assistance referees the chance to look at incidents would help them come to the correct decisions.
Sarcasm obviously.

Even VAR's biggest fan surely can't defend that decision ?
 
Stuck in this shithole of a capital for the night. Take your fucking cheating bastard c***ting wankstain that is Stockley Park and stick it in the shithole of a wembley park piss stained stinking disgrace of a toilet and run it from there because thats where it belongs. We're being fucked over because of 115 and it needs calling out. Sick of us having respect for every bastard manager and club and referee its high time we defended ourselves. I was a fan of var if its going to be implemented correctly but its clearly nothing more that a match fixing tool to be used for their own purposes.
