VAR (PL introduction 2019)

[SilverFox2]

VAR is highlighting any situation where the rules are broken.
So either change the rules to allow more physical contact or realise that the ref misses somethings they have chronically missed in the past.

Thought it helped the ref make the correct decisions, what's the issue? maybe a screen saying under review and the outcome would help for those in the stadium.
Should stop the fouling in the box, and that should help City.

It has to be relayed on the screen to the crowd in real time.

If they dont do that and mike the ref up so his conversation can be heard then scrap it right now.

The refs will have just as much influence with what they refer and what they don’t.

Players will be asking for it and you can benefit the team by referring there’s and not others on penalty decisions.

Expect it to be no more fairer, just different!!

I agree they do that in Rugby and the NFL don't they?

Spot on.

VAR didn't look at anything last night, the Liverpool players did and contrast it to the Chelsea/Norwich game were the ref refused to be bullied by players.

Instead of it helping its just added yet another layer of almost secrecy for some officials to hide behind or if they want, use to alter a decision to suit possibly, some clubs and im certain we will see examples of it very soon whilst other clubs get shafted.

Absolutely they do.

It can work but needs ironing out, all the decisions were spot on last night, give each team a set amount of referrals then maybe we wouldn’t see as much stop starts to play and a delay at celebrating a goal.

Not read the thread yet but obsevations:

Gazbaz pushed in back leading to the disallowed goal, letter of the law - penalty

Offside goal, marginal, used to be the daylight rule which would have meant the goal stood

Salah made a meal of it but no way was he getting the over hit pass, commonsense should have been no penalty

Pundits saying the Ref and VAR got decisions spot on, but according to how they interpreted VAR, no they didn't (in the first instance) I thought the original decisions however marginal were reasonable in live play in a fast paced game.

VAR is real passion killer in the game, bin it now.

There's no rules in football, pedantic I know but if you watch first foul is Barry receives a push in the back penalty for West Brom was the correct decision.

I've just said that to a dipper mate of mine and he says Barry was at it first pushing Mingulet. I've not seen it back yet so not sure if hes correct or away with the faries.....
