VAR (PL introduction 2019)

So grounds like Turf Moor or Goodison can facilitate VAR, but the 2 teams with the most trophy wins can’t manage it !
What a crock of sh1t, the tail wags the dog again, they should be made to have it installed or face points deduction or suspended until they do install it.

EPL demonstrating their readiness to facilitate the wishes of their favoured teams .
 
Was all in favour of it but after the last few games where it has been implemented I am a no. Supposed to be a clear and obvious error but if it takes 3 or 4 minutes to see if someone’s big toe was offside then it is not clear and obvious. They even stopped the game after Raheem’s run on goal when it was clear he was well offside and should have been seen by the blind linesman.
 
Should be 20 sec max review if they can’t see anything in that time it ain’t obvious and you go with refs call
 
So two of the biggest teams in the PL voted against VAR ( as I understand it ), and now that it is being introduced, the same two teams are unable to show VAR replays in their grounds.

If I was less accepting of their complete integrity and impunity, I might think those two teams didn't want the the supporters to be able to see what the VAR officials see, which could expose a possible bias demonstrated towards those two teams.

Obviously the " technical difficulties " facing the two said teams cannot easily be rectified.

But all I ever hear is that VAR will benefit those two clubs - yet they voted against it.

No it's the opposite,they get decisions that they will not get with VAR,if they can put screens in the other old grounds in the prem the fact they say they can't put them at the home of the teams that VAR are going to hammer a tad suspicious
 
I think that the ref should be given 2 minutes max to review it. Also, any replays should be shown at full pace, rather than slowed down. I think that in slow motion it always looks worse.
 
if they refer to VAR and still make an error. The accusations of corruption will increase. Putting a time limit on consultation leaves a back door to swaying decisions. A ref could take his time in order to sway the outcome. Far better let them work out the best way to use it. It’s defo gonna change the game and make it much longer but if it cuts out cheating then it’s worth it Shirley.
 
The abandoned second leg of the CAF Champions League final between Esperance and Wydad Casablanca is to be replayed at a neutral venue after this month's Africa Cup of Nations.

Tunisian club Esperance were awarded the trophy after the match could not be completed due to a fault with the Video Assistant Referee system but they have now been ordered to return the trophy and medals.
 
I was talking to a top referee yesterday I asked what he thought of VAR.

" Its OK but his colleagues don't know what is happening they are fukin shiting it "
 
I have a expectation that long ball teams like United and Liverpool will benefit greatly from VAR.

From what I have seen so far it is a total farce and open to exploitation. Believe me it will be!!

Pre-Season will all be about how to improve chance of hitting players arms in the box, how to exploit the rules, how to manipulate the referee.
I have huge concerns this is just another tool to aid fixing of football results.

After the Spurs controversy it's clear to see this is going to kill goal celebrations for the match going fan.
Yes it will be more exciting for TV viewers - woopdeedo

Goal line technology is great, but if one frame you are on and next you are off is just dodgy
What also irks me is how it is invoked, who decides, the VAR red?
On the plus side just heard 4 people in office who never talk about football discussing VAR and how it works meh
 
A lad at work said today that rather than be flagged if any part of you is offside, you should be allowed to play on if any part of you is onside.

It makes sense when you consider that offside was invented to prevent goal hanging.

That's the old "daylight" rule. Which would make more sense alongside VAR rather than having to cut toe nails before a game.
 
VAR decided to book and then send off a South African lady at the world cup because as she cleared the ball her foot came up and caught the opposing player on her thigh who was closing her down. VAR told the ref to look at the screen and the muppet of a ref decided it worthy of a second yellow and therefore a red. Now I thought VAR could only look at red card offences and not yellow so yet again nobody appears to know what VAR is there for.

What a joke. I would rather not have VAR than seeing the beautiful game being ruined by incompetent cnuts.

That is a good idea, or perhaps a sensor in the boots which is the fixed point regardless of any other part of the body. Makes it all simple, augueros sensor is behind vvd therefore onside
 
I personally don’t think the ref should refer to var, I think the team should, keep challenge if correct to appeal.
It will then be clear and obvious errors, which is not the case presently

I was thinking about that the other day at Lingaard offside. It was really so minimal that that rule would be adequate.
