VAR (PL introduction 2019)

I can't see this being anything other than a disaster. If there was a way to get every call 100% right I'd be for it but there isn't. Goals scored after the ball hits the arm of the goal scorer, when was the ball actually passed in a question of offside? Other than blatant offside calls (more than a yard) and dives I can't see were VAR will settle any arguments. It will actually create tons more and kill the flow of matches w/ 5 minute waits.
 
Just had a chat with my brother who lives in Germany
German football has been using VAR this season and in the last week there's been two scandalous decisions
German cup semi, Bayern vs Bremen. The ref awarded a pen for Bayern that definitely wasn't a pen and VAR didn't intervene.
After the game, even the Bayern players said it wasn't a penalty and the Bremen Head coach saying he could have lived with the decision if there was no VAR

Yesterday, penalty for handball awarded to Leipzig, when the ball clearly hits a Freiburg player on the chest. Again no VAR intervention
 
Further evidence of how VAR can be used to fcuk over a team needs to see this DC United versus Columbus MLS game. Columbus has a perfectly good goal chalked off for no adequately explained reason, then conceded a shit-soft penalty for a ‘handball’.

Just a few 'teething problems'...

If i get a ticket, monday night or Brighton will be the last top flight game i attend. Not bothering once var comes in as those sat at home who have paid fuck all will know more about what's going on than the supporters who've shelled out to be there.
 
We have seen how it benefits some teams. You have cheats in charge on the pitch and Var is useless when you have cheats on Var. proven point Chelsea v Utd FA cup game. How Chelsea did not get at least 2 stonewall penalties for holding/pulling in the area from corners, in one case Luiz had his shirt ripped and who was on Var. Alti Taylor. You can see the tiniest of infringments against us will be a penalty yet ignored the other end
 
The way I see it is the marginal and unsighted decisions should (after a short period of adjustment) be more right than before. The more opinion based judgemental decisions will still be a bit dodgy, but overall it will be better than what we have now. The problem with time delay, keeping the crowd informed and sterilising the atmosphere are more challenging and steps need to be put into place to alleviate them. My personal idea is the VAR should be allowed to overrule the ref by tannoy ASAP, never mind to and fro radio link conversation followed by viewing a small screen replay on the side of the pitch. The crowd and the players will get a decision much quicker, oh and amend rule 1 to “the VAR decision is final”!!
 
I have no issue with how UEFA will use it.

PiGMOL are hiding behind "marketing the product" for not using monitors for the ref to look ay next season. I am seriously concerned how fat fucks like Moss sitting in the booth will manipulate that being 100's of miles away from the actual match.

Leicester for the title next season....
 
VAR can and will be manipulated in such a way that favours one team over another. We've already seen it in the CL.

1. The REFEREE decides if he want's to use VAR.
2. Some UNNACOUNTABLE, faceless producer in the VAR cabin decides what the match officials get to see.
3. The outcome is still open to interpretation.

It just makes the game even more bent.
 
Thanks to VAR we will never experience an Aguero moment again. Just imagine something similar happens next season. I guarantee that no one will be getting excited (including the players) as we all wait to see what VAR has to say. And you can guarantee that it'll be used automatically in that situation. In fact, I can see it draining all of the emotion out of the game in the end as live football slowly morphs into TV entertainment, with TV companies running adds whilst VAR is sorting out a decision. Perhaps the adds will be bookies saying get 2-1 that the decision will be reversed.
