VAR (PL introduction 2019)

[mat]

Complete bollocks to trial it in a handful of games. Either have it or don't

indeed.

Surely this leads to more "Game management"?

Example:

Were denied 3 points because of a VAR decision (quite rightly). Dippers play after us. Ref gives a dodgy penalty to dippers and disallows a perfectly good goal scored by the opposition.

Absolutely this. No doubt at all now we will lose the title to Liverpool who 'gain points' thanks to VAR, while we have decisions go against us in the absence of VAR.

Well if the powers that be don’t want it they will make a Pigs ear of it and have rules for referees like if the lineman flags offside and it isn’t but tight they will not change it they will go with the lineman and if it’s isnt flagged offside when it is but tight they will not change it! This was the rumour from the premier league prior to the World Cup and if this happens it’s set up to change nothing regarding offsides with likes of the rags and the scousers.

I'm absolutely plain against this, either have it or don't have it.

Also baffling my head that the refs will have no contact with the VAR anyways. They're using it but kind of not using it?

Sky Sports being c***s again. They did this last season too, they basically do a live 'play-along' in the studio but its not actually in use.

So...

Which blue will be the first player retro banned by VAR?

 

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

The world cup has shown VAR works perfectly well.
The league should've organised itself so that every match after a certain point (post Christmas break would've been fine) will have VAR.
Instead we're trialing something we already know works, absolutely ludicrous

It's match-fixing under a rebrand.

All or nothing you corrupt premier league bastards.

Is that what it is this time? many times in our games the ref has gone one way then switched like the fabs sending off,doing it like that is wide open to abuse,hmmm

Time to admit I'm wrong.
VAR isn't actually going to be used in these selection of matches, they'll just see how it would work in theory, without actually using it in matches
