VAR (PL introduction 2019)

I agree with the bolded part and have stated as such on here, in fact it was the England match possibly Dutch game.

As for the fouls, there is no REF in the world that shouldn't see that as a foul while watching it on replay, it isn't inconsistency, that ref just wanted out of the ground without any more hassle from the players and the coach.

I agree. Clearly a straight red but you'd find some ref that would argue against it. I just have a recollection of Walton in the studio trying to justify some ridiculous refereeing decisions. If the refs on the pitch aren't competent, those in the VAR office probably aren't any better.
 
The officials were a shambles, V A R is not what the fans expected it to be, you can scrap it now for me, i'm sick of it.

On the bright side England won, and the dirty fuckers are going home.

Which without VAR might not have happened!! Cameroon would have scored an offside goal for starters, England would of had one ruled out incorrectly and the game would have been completely different and they would of had their tails up!!

Blatant offside? 1mm that might have been wrong when you consider it's not 100% because of angles, parts of the body. I recon you've got shares in VAR
Correct, the 2 (offside) decisions this afternoon were anything but blatant or obvious, mm or cm and that's the issue.

Blatant I think everyone is fine with, and until the technology can prove to the mm its correct, it shouldn't be happening.

Imagine what the crowd reaction is going to be like if decisions like that decide a PL title in the final game of the season ?

You are right. But that's not a VAR issue, what VAR is doing is highlighting how inconsistent Refs are! Hopefully that will lead to better refereeing eventually... If we scrpa it now that possibility is lost forever and the Cartel win!!

Wrong, no blatant or obvious on offsides. Its a line call. Tech proved it was off, correct decisions 100%

Or a champions league semi-final...

OH!
 
I supported VAR as I believed it would provide protection against incompetent or corrupt officials by correcting blatantly incorrect decisions. Not that it would be used for millimetre tight decisions which you can't really blame the officials for missing. It shouldn't be used to referee the game but just correct poor mistakes.

It is being used much more often than I expected and it seems to be making officials rely on it rather than making their own decisions. It's not the technology that's wrong but the implementation.
 
What is worrying is that for the foul on Houghton, the ref didn’t even give a card until VAR looked at it for a possible red. Ref then waved a yellow for some bizarre reason. Cameroon should have had at least three red, one for the elbow, one for the foul at the end then for one for their captain for screaming and ranting at the ref at the end
