VAR Discussion Thread | 2024/25

I would rather VAR fucks off. It's only a game.

How about this: It’s 90+ mins, Man City are playing Madrid in the European final. They are winning 1-0. Vinicius has the ball and is whizzing down the line, a player closes in, he crosses it and the ball goes behind. City players are screaming and appealing that the ball deflected back off Vinicius, Madrid players and fans scream it came off the City player.

The ref is totally unsure as could not see from his angle.

Funny as fuck. Swings and roundabouts. Life lessons. Doesn't mean people won't be going ballistic, though. Always have always will, even with VAR.

Bang on

How many times a season is a goal scored from an incorrectly given corner? I’d be pretty certain that in the Premier League you could count them on the fingers of one hand. So over 380 games, maybe 5 corners are the issue. I personally don’t want even more delays to the game for something that isn’t a major problem.

It’s progress though mate. “All fans wanted VAR”

 

[johnnytapia]

@BlueHammer85 you can take your VAR for corners and stick it up your arse and while you are there can we please fuck off all the other VAR stuff at the same time. Pointless intrusion into a once great game.

Ha ha ha beautiful. So true.

Leeds would never have got that clear penalty if it wasn’t for VAR and Leeds wouldn’t have gone on to equalize. Mind blowing people want to scrap VAR when you see clear fouls like that not being given.

 

[johnnytapia]

Leeds score their 3rd and you look at the crowd. Nobody celebrating properly because of fucking VAR.
It’s killed the thing we go for.

You still taking your lad to non-VAR games? Surely not

 

[johnnytapia]

This sums it up perfectly:

What a finish: I almost certainly won’t be the only person to say this but I am massively surprised that the buzz-killing curtain-twitchers in Stockley Park didn’t find some reason to chalk off that Aston Villa winner.

Put it to the fans. Because we were never asked.
Keep it or bin it.
We know the answer.

Yeh when the ball hits the net no one bothers celebrating, all just sitting their in silence

Not when I see Leeds having a blatant penalty not being given against Liverpool.

Yep took my boy to ebbsfleet today. was nearly as bad as Hammers match v Liverpool last week I went too. Not sure your point.

if they'd have paraded this version of VAR prior to introducing it the vast majority of fans would have told them to fuck off.

the ref or taylor might well of give it if var wasnt there to fuck the game up

No chance, ref thought the ball was out and can’t blame him from that view. Do like the argument that before VAR the refs would have been flawless lol.

Weird lie. They went mental.

VAR was used today in our match when the Sunderland player got sent off.
The refs initial decision was yellow card only.
I would prefer to do without VAR and I'd have got over the player staying on the pitch.

VAR is one element at arbitrating a game where the focus should be on making sure that the result reflects exactly what happened during the game. The problem I have with VAR is not it's use but the lack of transparency, the comical cartoon explanation of offside, and, as happened with Josko's goal last week. VAR indicates they are looking at offside. Clear as day that no one was offside but why does it take two fuckin' minutes to look for something that only needed twenty seconds.

An easy winner of Post of Today.
A front runner for Post of the Month.
A strong contender for Post of the Season.

Please take a bow.

And in real time it was a yellow. It was only a million slow motion replays that made it look worse
