You ignored my valid question and then I see you repeat the same bollocks, you say no system is flawless. For the red card on Saturday a flawless system isn't needed is it. Your excuse to horrible decisions and games being ruined is "nothing is perfect" well no it isn't but it should be close to if they are looking at a million angles of a clear incident shouldn't it. Your game yesterday had the longest wait I have seen. You keep talking of it improving but it fucking isn't and you are simply digging a hole deeper instead of saying, it isn't what you hoped for, it is bollocks, it still gets clearly things very wrong and it is ruining the game for match going fans. You still bastard defend it, how and why

Can rant at me all you like - posters ask for my opinion and i give it, I didn't create VAR, I don't make the decisions.
would I scrap it from the game despite its many flaws? No, is my answer. If it's a Yes from you and others then good for you, I have no problem with that.
I just want tech help for officials who miss handballs and offsides etc. and in an ideal world to make sure they get everyone correct.

I've agreed that they got it wrong on review and its unacceptable, not quite sure what I can do about it.
however, the overall question is if that the officials on-field did not see the handball or offside would you rather take it on the chin without VAR or have VAR tell the ref to have a second look?

Simples,

was all for VAR before it was brought in, used to have many arguments over referees, and differences of "opinion"

I'm still in favour of VAR, just hate the utter incompetence (at best, the alternative is not very palatable) of the way it is implemented. Differences of opinion, are one thing, differences of "fact" when its clear & obvious, and able to be, (and frequently is ) viewed multiple times, is simply NOT ACCEPTABLE. If that's not utter sackable incompetence, then its cheating! and is far worse than what we previously had.

Finally, not picking on you, you obviously can't do anything, its not your fault, but somebody should be held responsible for the absolute shit show it has become, and it is questionable with current implementation if anything has improved.

But when very clear points are put to you, and you bat off with "it isn't flawless" you are pissing in the wind. Tech hep? what do you plan for them, to grow extra eyes. WEEKLY, clear as day decisions keep happening due to the incompetency (as a minimum) of the idiots running the technology. If they cannot be trained properly or are too stupid to implement the rules then scrap the fucking thing. You want referee errors reduced, we all do, but we are still having absolutely horrific decisions being given with the technology. Hoping for improvements is again deluded when we are about 5/6 years into this shit.

i am convinced Shearer led the way by insisting the "ball was going away from goal". This gave PIGMOB the alibi they needed to not give a very blatant red card, knowing full well by the time it was being analysed things would have moved on and let's face it, no one wanted City to win anyway. Oh and Shearer lying piece of excrement he is, later admitted it was a red card offence. VAR are led by how things are spinning, hence ratboy leading them. the idea they don't listen to live commentary wouldnt make sense, on occasion things are picked up by TV that VAR miss. We were the victim of match fixing, simple as that.

Said it after the game, Shearer was doing his Gary Neville impression knowing he would be heard by VAR.
VAR is and always was brought in as a manipulation tool to influence results.
Just look at the Bournemouth sending off a couple a weeks ago against (wait, shock horror) man utd, a diabolical decision influenced by VAR, but overturned after the game and after utd had salvaged a point from a losing position.
These aren't genuine mistakes, they are purposeful
 
I posted not long after it's introduction that V A R stood for.something like Various Alternative Reasons or similar memory a bit hazy on exact txt eat your heart out Nostradamus

Shearer was, and always is, an absolute cvnt when commentating on us. Duplicitous doesn't even come close to describing him.

As you said he led the "heading away from goal" bullshit whilst it happened and defended the decision for the rest of the half.

At half time every man and all of their respective dogs all condemned the decision and called it out for what it was, an absolute farce of a non-decision. Lineker then cuts over to the bald twat who was up in the stands and asked him if it should've been a red. Shearer couldn't contain his glee and excitement, visibly bouncing around like a little fucking kid and clearly laughing about it not being given, then gives the answer "Maybe" with a huge grin on his face when asked if he thought it should've been a red card.

The smug fucking twat knew what he was doing alright, I'm convinced of that, and I'm now convinced that the commentary plays a big part in VARs decision making process. Corrupt as fuck. If anybody can explain to me why he, alone, held the opposite view to every other person on the planet who saw the incident other than to influence VAR, I'm all ears. TV media is simply a match manipulation tool.
