VAR (PL introduction 2019)

[Barcon]

Guess what's back, back again
VAR's back, tell a friend..

Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody, just follow me!
‘Cause we need a little controversy
‘Cause it feels so empty without me
I said this looks like a job for me

Hum dei dei la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la

Not a bad pint, actually.

Is anybody keeping an updated VAR league table. What the table would look like if VAR was implemented.
City would be top on goal difference, but how would the rest of the table look ?

Don't know but we'd be at least 4 points better off than the dippers.

You carry on singing it your way mate doesn't really matter only posted for a laugh...

If VAR was in place this season the dippers would have 4 less points and we would have 2 more than we have now. That’s a 6 point swing. Can’t understand why only we voted to use it. It’s as if other clubs don’t want the correct decisions....

All the other clubs especially the ones at the top know that we get the rough end of a lot of decisions. They would rather take the chance of benefiting from more decisions that go for them than against them.

Only a quick brief search, but go on matchday forums for any club, most weekends and fans will says the refs are biased against them.

That's irrelevant, VAR would settle a lot of the perceived bias which you're alluding to.

We're only 5 games in and can confidently say the two points dropped for City and the 4 points gained for Liverpool directly from these decisions are easy mistakes for VAR to rectify, they weren't even "grey area" calls.
