VAR (PL introduction 2019)

Wonder which games from last season would have had different results with var. Goal line technology (which everyone accepts because it's quick) gave City a goal at Burnley and saved one vs L'pool, but which other big games would have been changed?

Remember the "goal" that won the Cup Final for Arsenal when the ball had run out of play before the cross came in, vs. Cardiff a few years ago? Welsh mate of mine is still upset by that.

And the one we had ruled out in the semi against them, that would have put us into the final, where a linesman 15 yards from the deadline ruled the ball had curled out of play when it oh so obviously hadn't. Arsenal have been fucked by the referees in the league at times but Emirates definitely made sure they were looked after in the FA Cup.

Liverpool would have loads of goals ruled out last season.
 
I know we’re going around in circles. But how many games are labelled shambles by a clueless ref ?
Very few goals are stopped for VAR and the longer we give it time the quicker and better the system will be.

I’d be happy to just stick with the current system of a ref and a couple linos if it meant Fans, Media and Pundits give them a break and accept the ref has a impossible job with the speed of the game and 22 cheating players on the field appealing for everything.

It's not an ' impossible ' job, it's a difficult one, which they make ten times harder, by their own inconsistent interpretation of the rules.

If the same refs, gave each decision, based on the same criteria, one week to the next, then you would know where you stand with them & know that certain actions would be a pen, or red card, with a certain ref.

A couple of seasons ago, for example, Mike Dean gave a pen & yellow card against Sterling, for putting his hands on Ryan Shawcroft's chest, as Shawcroft pushed him backwards with both hands. Shawcroft himself said after the game, he had no idea why it was a pen.

You see that & you know he is never ever going to give a similar decision against anyone else & wonder why the fuck he did it.

Then the genius solution: let's give these bizarre individuals, the opportunity to do the same shit even more, by allowing them to go back in time & make even more stupid, bizarre, inconsistent decisions & generally fuck around with the game, as well as being subject to pressure from the usual suspects & the threat of corruption.

What a brilliant idea.
 
See the Cavani penalty VAR gave last night? Shocker. Wasn't a penalty and didn't qualify for "clear and obvious mistake". Its implementation after what i thought was a pretty good run at the world cup has been abysmal.
 
Night games will be a nightmare, games will last 3 hours and everyone will miss the last buses and trains to get home.
Only said in jest but these VAR decisions take way too long
 
It seems like VAR is bring introduced without any consistent laws. Tyler just mentioned that some of the rules the womens WC are using are not being used in the u21 Euros.
 
VAR will not be used to penalise keepers coming off the line in any penalty shoot outs in the Women's World Cup.

It is still to be used in normal time though.

What a farce.
