VAR (PL introduction 2019)

Last night highlighted all that is wrong with this version of VAR for me. They took an incident that was at best 50-50 and somehow came to the conclusion that the original decision was 100% wrong.

VAR has no place getting involved in situations like that. Imagine if that had been the last minute of a title decider and a 50-50 decision called one way gets overturned on the basis of evidence that can be legitimately argued both ways. It would be carnage.

The current system is so open to abuse and outside interference that it's going to cause far more controversy than it clears up. I just don't trust these fuckers to apply it fairly and would rather take our chances with real-time decisions.
 
Yet again i wake up to another VAR controversy, this time at wembley in an international friendly. If the daft fuckers can't get it right at the 'home' of football, in a purpose built stadium with the full weight of Fifa's backing, in a friendly then how the hell are they ever gonna get it right?
And don't give me this, 'oh it'll take time to get right' or 'as long as the result is 'fair' nonsense cos they've had plenty of time and practice to do that and still it's a fucking shambles.

hopefully it will continue to fuck up in the world cup and it will stay away from club football a bit longer.

I'm with you. I wanted VAR, still do. But last night just doesn't sit right and they shouldn't have got to a penalty decision. However, VAR has got plenty right and it is in a trial phase so let's not totally write it off yet. Needs tweaking for sure. I just fear they are deliberately making it look flawed, so they turn public opinion against it....

It's in a trial. Every other sport with var took a fair while to get it right for them. Football is no different. No doubt some of the idiots involved in it aren't helping, I'll give you that.
 
VAR is a disaster, it needs to be fucked off sharpish, let the refs do their job, you win some you lose some.. It will never be a change for the good no matter how fast they think it will become, it will ruin the game as a spectacle...!

Well the PL have confirmed it will be used. However, I think it will be a stripped back version, with goal line and offside decision only, the way they've implemented the trial has been very poor. It's like they already made their minds up they didn't want it and are looking to discredit it at every opportunity
