VAR (PL introduction 2019)

How many times, there's no clear and obvious on offsides/goal line decisions. Its either off or on / over the line or not.
Too much needless use. If the refs can't use the courage of their convictions, the game is fucked.
Not sure about that. After 6 games last season, there was an article where it showed the league table would have been different if VAR had been introduced! Liverpool most likely would have dropped 4 points over 2 games at West Ham (Offside goal given) & Tottenham (Stone wall pen not given). And we'd of secured 3 points at Wolves after the Bony handball / offside goal cost us 2 points there...
So a 6 point swing in 6 matches. All decisions wrong, all against us. And Liverpool benefitted from this type of "uplift" for the remainder of the season with offside goals and dives resulting in loads of undeserved points. How any blue wont give VAR a chance to see if it improves things from the shocking current corrupt state of play is bizarre...

so every single time a chance is made by a team its going to check for offside, and when it goes out for a corner from a save or off a player and not a goal they will over rule and bring it back ???? because the players was offside in the first place ?? nope
VAR is just a tool for the higher up officials to use and give advantage to the bigger teams, and we have seen already man city being done over and not shown the right replays to the match officials , i hold no hope for VAR and i will be a mess within weeks

No, not every time a chance is made, is it going to be checked by VAR. How can people get this so wrong so often. Goals, penalties, straight red cards and mistaken identity are the 4 areas!! The current system favours the Cartel and has done for years. You maybe right and it wont actually improve things, but its the only chance we have right now. To not even give it a chance is weird for me! But each to their own I guess!!
Time and time last season my club would have had decisions go our way with Var in ........But honestly I hope it's never brought into our level ........How the hell can you go mad at scoring a late winner when at the back of your mind Var could take it away from you
Don't get me wrong it will get it right but it's gonna take a lot of emotion out of the game

i think the thing you are missing is from that corner the other team score but it should not have been a corner because the player was offside in the first place, this is the cross over in VAR that will kill the fans and people in football because the offside should have stood
VAR is not the problem for me its the people running it and how the replays are picked to show the match official, yes i know its the time scale of watching all the replays ?? but you have to get the right decision if you have stopped the game and know matter how long it takes its got to be right or why bother with VAR, last season involving man city vs spurs the wrong replay was shown to the referee and VAR got it wrong that's the problem i have
you can not have a system in place if VAR gets it wrong ?? its got to be 100% correct or why bother stopping the game to say to the ref i think you got it wrong ??, the fans will want 100% correction and VAR can not fuck up and get it wrong, that's trouble in the making

I agree with regards to the intent of use, but we've seen a different reality. I've seen them pull play back to something that happened on the other side of the pitch as an excuse. It will never be an objective interpretation. Once you grasp the corruption In the game, you'll better understand the reasons. We just have to get on with it. Doesn't mean that it's not a sham.No, not every time a chance is made, is it going to be checked by VAR. How can people get this so wrong so often.

VAR (as it currently exists) is balls. Thread over.
For VAR reasons alone I’m not sure if I’m excited about the season or not. Hate the thing. Football for me is all about the decisions. Some bad some good. Controversy will be over and it will become a cynical black and white game imo based upon holding the game up every time there looks something dodgy
i think the thing you are missing is from that corner the other team score but it should not have been a corner because the player was offside in the first place, this is the cross over in VAR that will kill the fans and people in football because the offside should have stood.
So just like now then, hasn't killed the fans to date. It wont fix every error, it never intended too. However, it will fix the vast majority of decisions it gets involved in and has the potential to be significantly better than the existing corrupt system.
VAR is not the problem for me its the people running it and how the replays are picked to show the match official, yes i know its the time scale of watching all the replays ?? but you have to get the right decision if you have stopped the game and know matter how long it takes its got to be right or why bother with VAR, last season involving man city vs spurs the wrong replay was shown to the referee and VAR got it wrong that's the problem i have.
I agree, it should be completely transparent. Liverpool/Rags replays wont be shown, and that is a disgrace. But I believe that will change. The Spurs handball was poor, no argument there. If those type of instances continue to happen then it will have to be addressed! Let's hope lessons have been learned!
you can not have a system in place if VAR gets it wrong ?? its got to be 100% correct or why bother stopping the game to say to the ref i think you got it wrong ??, the fans will want 100% correction and VAR can not fuck up and get it wrong, that's trouble in the making
Don't agree. It will give a significant improvement over the current flawed/corrupt system. It wont ever correct 100% of decisions, to think it will is unfair partly due to the subjective nature of some decisions and the old human error/misapplication of the rules which will still happen on occasion. However, the 6 point swing against City in the first 6 games of last season, where Liverpool gained 4 points they didn't deserve and we lost 2 points away at wolves to a goal which was both offside and handball will be eradicated! VAR should level the playing field considerably against the current joke of a system.
