VAR in regards to City related incidents.

[better dead than red]

Just because a person has a difference of opinion to you doesn't mean to say the other person talks rubbish.

You must be new around these parts. ;)

To be fair, he is an expert on the subject of City being robbed.

Yup, that was my point - seems to have gone over the head of a few others :)

Worked well tonight in the Barca game at the end.

If it was in the prem now the penalty against Mendy at Arsenal and the handball goal today would have been given and not given respectively.

We need VAR badly. And fast in my opinion.

So the refs say they need help, everyone agrees, VAR is set up, then the clubs vote against it. You couldn't make it up

You win some you lose some var is shite and although it went against us today id still not want it

i just don't understand why you wouldn't want to arrive at the correct decision, VAR isn't shite certainly not in decisions like yesterday

IMO VAR wouldn't work with fans as they are too fickle and biased. As an example, if the incident with Silva was reviewed by the VAR panel yesterday and a pen not awarded, do you really see Blues on here saying "Fair enough" ?

The system we have is most defo flawed, but VAR would only appease when it favoured the fans desired outcome.

VAR would not get rid of any teams agenda threads in my view

What would be a start would be to have Refs interviewed after each match

did you not watch the world cup mate? worked perfectly well apart from the odd error

the handball goal would of been chalked off in no time at all, to not review and change the decision would quickly be career limiting.

both penalty incidents are not clear cut and open to interpretation(and that is just on this forum) and you have to remember it is to be used for clear and obvious errors which both are neither, where as the the goal most certainly was

fans desired outcome and agenda threads. who cares and irrelevant

Penalty decisions could still be ruled out as they are subjective. That has to be accepted. We can't even agree on here on the Silva decision so you're quite right. What VAR would do is judge on blatant miscarriages such as Wolves' goal yesterday.

I don't want referees interviewed. I'd sooner not even know their names.

I know I'm in a minority of one, but his 'would-be celeb image and profile' aside, I always thought MC was a decent ref. We had some poor decisions made by him against us that have got into a few fans' heads, but fewer than other refs in my view. Always played the advantage and didn't blow up for solid but fair tackles. I expect to hear some revisits of his poorer decisions against us.

It's because he was a capable ref that some of his performances were so suspicious.

With others you can just say they're incompetent.

What gets me is over half the premier voted against it.
