VAR (PL introduction 2019)

[BlueAnorak]

Problem is those same corrupt officals will be operating VAR

THIS.
The VAR TV coverage has to be on the big screen - there must be NO HIDING PLACE for bent officiating.

Wasn’t VAR being used in our cup final? If it is seems they want to use VAR in the background and only tell the referee if there terrible mistake

It’s been flawed so far, but I’m fairly sure City would benefit from it in the long run.

It's only flawed cos the game has it as the ref's and vid ref's discretion to call or not call a decision. If we leave it for the caps/ managers with 2 appeals per half, the blame cannot be solely the ref's if things don't go well.

You would have to be smart when to use it or give control to the ref.

It's the way forward as this has been mooted for what? 6/7/8 years now?

Nothing has changed my opinion but, reinforced it, in fact.

Cannot fucking wait for this to come in.

We wouldn’t be 3-0 down and we wouldn’t have lost yesterday.

How any city fan wouldn't want VAR after whats gone on this season, defies any sense of logic to me.....

 

[RayCTID]

The ball is in FIFA's court but there is an obvious catch with that one.

 

[Damanino]

Only thing is imo that these ref cuunts will sabotage it by using it the wrong way, using it very slowly on purpose wasting long minutes every time to turn fans against it.

And then they start to make wrong calls even after video review on purpose and thats when fans will turn against it competely.

 

[ste.sully]

Honestly, after some of the refereeing decisions this season City's best signing this summer wouldn't be a player - but VAR.

 

[Armaan]

It should be a challenge system similar to what is used in American sports or tennis, two per half or something. As bad as stopping play is, playing on after an ignored red-card offense or penalty is worse.

Seems fucking obvious doesn’t it? 2 challenges in total per team and the ref (or a video ref) can review it once the balls out of play. I’m so sick of getting shafted by the nobs and I’m sure the whole club is as well.

VAR sounds good but if the refs reviewing it are clearly bent they won't use it correctly.

We need to 'join the club' and make some new 'friends' at UEFA its the only way for me to ever have a crack at the CL.
