VAR (PL introduction 2019)

Wonder how many of you slagging off VAR would give the slightest fuck if it benefited City in a big game.

It gets the decisions right. That's the main thing. Just needs fine tuning. Takes too long and too much disconnect with fans inside the stadium.

It's meant ot be assisted, right?

Well who makes the call when the referee's judgement is called into question? Is it meant for every single decision? Used to add time on?

Like tennis it should be three challenges. Otherwise it'll be throw in, VAR, corner, VAR, tackle, VAR, pass VAR. At the moment it's being called into question for every goal being scored, killing the moment. Imagine VAR after Agueroooooo. What are the conditions for VAR being used?
 
As with most issues with the officials inconsistency is the main problem.

It needs to be used sparingly to correct obvious mistakes.

Tonight highlights how refs can be influenced by the crowd and players. Play should be continued and pulled back if the VAR sees a problem with the decision made. Not for the ref to over rule or check.. if it is unclear it goes with the original decision.
 
I don’t get people saying fuck it off. If we’re playing in a cup final against the rags and they score an offside goal and it stands you’d be raging. VAR would clear it up



Or the ref would totally ignore it and carry on ;-) as by username.

Sorry but that's complete horse shit. Champions League final against United, winning 2-1 and they score, ref gives it, VAR overrules it. City win CL. Not a City fan on the planet would complain.

It needs fine tuning for sure, but it's literally only been used in about 6 games in English football. Fans need to give it a shot but the FA need to iron out the flaws in it. Takes far too long, ref doesn't need to watch it if his ref mate has already seen the issue. Speed it up and give fans some interaction on the screens.

VAR over rules nothing and that's the issue here.

All its doing is asking the ref to have another look and if he doesn't want to change his decision he won't.

I will go on record right now and say certain clubs will benefit hugely from this tech whilst others get fucked over.

Also how can it be fair for clubs in the same competition not to have the same tech in place for every game in that comp?

Well flip the scenarion: City score the winning goal in a CL final. The crowd goes insane, oh no wait...United are challenging. VAR


1 minute






2 minutes








3 minutes








yeah it's a goal. City fans denied that feelgood feeling of the goal scoring celebration whilst officials deliberate on the basis of someone wanting to 'ruin' the moment.


It's not the advent of the VAR being questioned, it's the idea that EVERY decision, even ones that are slight, are being challenged, usually an an advantage tactic. There needs to be some consistancy about when and where VAR is called for a decision and at the moment, there doesn't seem to be.

Yep, bet there will be no VAR on every corner with Smalling pulling players shirts. Same old refs on VAR will still only see what they want to see
