VAR (PL introduction 2019)

I agree, just watched that and what a farce.
Hope it gets sorted or that will be the end.

Which right-minded person decided that ankle raker wasn't a red card?

If the ref who has looked at the replays for 3 minutes can't see it then she should hand her card back in and retire, the person who was viewing in the TV room should be sacked on the spot.

Therein lies the problem. Lack of consistency.

One linesman flags straight away and doesn't give the attacking team the chance to score and have it reviewed. Another one keeps the flag down and the attacking team get the chance.

What is a foul to one ref isn't a foul to another (we've seen this with studio refs).

Offsides are being given which are a matter of millimetres but the technology isn't really there to be able to distinguish to that tiny amount.

I was quite in favour of it when I thought it was going to be used to check clear and obvious errors. To rule out blatant mistakes. It shouldn't be used for extremely marginal decisions IMO.

just wait until the start slipping a couple of adverts in while the VAR decision is made

The officials were a shambles, V A R is not what the fans expected it to be, you can scrap it now for me, i'm sick of it.

On the bright side England won, and the dirty fuckers are going home.

People can handle it fine, the disallowed on is a frozen frame in time, there is no way of knowing when the ball was actually touched, so it should be given, and if you seriously think this is not spoiling football then fair play.

Wrong. Walking out of a stadium when the other team have scored a blatant offside/penalty that shouldn’t have been ,has totally spoiled the occasion.

Yep, its ruined the game for me and many others for years and years.......

I agree with the bolded part and have stated as such on here, in fact it was the England match possibly Dutch game.

As for the fouls, there is no REF in the world that shouldn't see that as a foul while watching it on replay, it isn't inconsistency, that ref just wanted out of the ground without any more hassle from the players and the coach.

I think the referees in this tournament have shown the worse of VAR, I’m not a massive fan of it either really but these referees have no idea what they’re doing with it, time taken for each decision is ridiculous.

 

[Bluearmy]

God you are naive . VAR is used by people. It is not separate. So many decisions by humans:
What should be reviewed?
How far back do you take play in a build up?
Which frame do you use to freeze for offside?
Then the decisions themselves.
All require human judgement free from bias and corruption. Potential to stitch us up even more as we have already seen.
All this and it all detracts from the moment.

If you fall into this trap now the Cartel win... This is exactly what they are trying to achieve. Don't fall for it
