VAR (PL introduction 2019)

Happy enough with it tonight tbh, both penalty claims were reviewed which was the main concern.

Still worrying Swarbrick chose not to use it with a possible handball Monday though, even though he turned out to be right.

This.

Unfortunately forums and social media do not allow ‘bedding in’ periods and any mistakes from officials. Will be a lot of uproar which is shame as it is helping make the game fairer.

Feel a lot more comfortable we’re able to see the incidents as the officials on a monitor. Yes there will be times when people disagree even after the video review - but overall, especially penalty appeals, vast majority will be the correct call as opposed to the impossible task the ref has now when a player goes down cheating and 30+ thousand are screaming for a Pen.

Me too.

The pictures and conversations are shown live in Cricket and Rugby. Same should apply here. Fans will accept it more if we hear the reasoning behind the decisions made using it.
 
Absolute nightmare. Will be the end of the game as we know it. Every goal, and I mean every goal will result in bated breath, nobody going last minute crazy, for fear there was some unseen incident MINUTES beforehand.Just like tonight, the game played on for several mins before that pen was reviewed.It will kill the game, kill the celebrating stone dead.

The Welbeck penalty incident. He clearly takes the ball, the commentators um and ah. They're still discussing it post match. There will be incorrect decisions made for sure.

Yeah there will be those that are open to interpretation... "is the arm in an unnatural position?" or "did he mean it/go for the ball?" but I'll take any improvement over what we have now which is extra officials at either end of the pitch which do absolutely nothing. It's time we improved the standard of officiating as there's too many mistakes for this day and age with the technology available.

They only went back as it was a possible penalty, nearly all goals will be awarded straight away with no review, the doubtful ones will and should be reviewed.

There’ll be an element of doubt in every fan’s mind as to whether it’ll go to VAR IMHO. No fan will know with absolute certainty that it won’t get called back for some spurious bollocks that could have happened several minutes beforehand. I see it as the death-knell for the game. Not needed, the game should and could carry on with all the inherent mistakes.

It has to be in the same phase of play mate, similar time frame to players moving from offside to onside. The scenario you're envisaging won't exist.

The ref does review every goal though. It will imo take away some of the emotion from a goal being scored as straight away you will be looking to the ref.

Similar to looking towards the linesman for a potential tight offside?
I’m sure the teething problems (if any) will be ironed out and improved upon over time. If the officiating was better than average - we wouldn’t be even considering VAR, the fact we are starting to use it speaks volumes.

Only if you're maniacally paranoid, the vast majority of goals are obviously legit, the ones you'll be holding your breath for are the same ones that you're looking at the linesman for an offside flag or the ref to see him point to the halfway line with now - dubious goals.
