VAR (PL introduction 2019)

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.

He will ask you if you’ve watched Serie A or the Bundesliga this season in a minute. ;)

Before he asks I've watched both and the goal in the Juve Torino game was legit, there was a touch on the ball in that challenge, Germany had their own problems which look to have been solved. As for benefits, Chelsea players stayed on their feet tonight as they knew they were being watched.

Fair enough if people want to see it in this country. Personally I think the vast majority of fans in this country won't like it and going by twitter thats certainly the case tonight.

Certainly wont stop the controversy though. Guarantee there will be an agenda thread on this forum in five years with people moaning about how united have had five times more decisions awarded through VAR than us or something like that.

Twitter you say.
I’m not saying it will be the saviour of football, in fact, I’ve said a few times that the people controlling it could still use it, or not use it in some instances to apply their special form of bias and indifference. I would put the video being reviewed on the big screen for all to see and have the comms between the officials audible to all like they do in other sports so we can see/hear how they’ve arrived at their decisions for total transparency, I can’t see that happening though but this will have to do for now.

If Arsenal fans chanting VAR VAR VAR doesn't put you off it then I guess nothing will :)
 
Took too long to review the penalty for me tonight. 2 minutes is about 1 minute 30 too long and it broke up the rhythm of Chelsea’s play. Nevertheless, I’m sure it can be sped up, and it’s still a huge improvement of the previous system of corrupt and biased refereeing ruining the game.
 
After the delay in reviewing the Chelsea penalty appeal, I'm trying to imagine the following scenario; last game of the season, the home side needs a win to avoid relegation whereas the away side needs a point to do the same. The away side has a penalty claim in the last minute, but the game continues until a break in play. Subsequently, the home side go down the other end and score. The ref then reviews the penalty claim and decides it is a penalty. He therefore rules out the "goal", awards the penalty for the away side, they score and go on to win, sending the home side down. There'd be a riot in the stadium.

Social media is the biggest negative to modern football nowadays, the abuse levelled at owners, managers, players and officials is just non stop. VAR is about helping the ref, that is all. Moaning fans who cry corruption all the time are the ones who hold progress back in the game we all love.
 
If this is to be intriduced, will it be for all Prem games? If so, on a Saturday with 7/8 fixtures, how are they going to find enough 'top quality' refs to sit in the VAR truck and review? The pilot is being selective with a lot of resources thrown at it. The reality will be very different.
