VAR thread 2022/23

[Bodicoteblue]

Went to a var match yesterday.
It was spoiled by some blokes trying to play football in between reviews.

Not sure how that fuckers stayed on either

By applying the laws of the game and interpretations of the rules consistently regardless of the teams involved.

By communicating (or making communications available) to the football public so we understand why they have taken the decisions they have.

By being competent at their jobs.

Just three that I can think of.

They can do all that but many will still scream and shout corruption when it goes against their team

Do agree with you though, needs more transparency and officiating standards needs to improved

Tide turning a bit, but still think it's here to stay

Arteta lamenting lack of consistency with VAR, with similar incidents week-to-week being decided differently.

That’s now, what, five managers this week either complaining (in some cases furiously) about individual dubious VAR interventions, questioning consistency in overall decision making, or both?

And many media outlets, including pundits on NBC here in the US criticising many of this weekend’s VAR decisions, with PiGMOL now apologising for the West Ham and Newcastle interventions.

What has to happen to force change?

There all bent, follow rugby's process and get the microphones on and make all their finances out in the public domain. They have no one to blame but their greasy self's.

I'll repeat - panel miked up
1 ex player (non P.L.)
1 fan. "
1. ex ref
2 v 1 decision

It doesn’t help when there’s a VAR decision that half the people say it’s correct and the other half say it’s terrible and corruption

How can officials win

Come off it, I've seen no one apart from that idiot Tuchel saying the West Ham goal should have been disallowed. Same goes for Newcastle goal.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

By only using VAR for clear and obvious mistakes by the referee.

Yesterday the referee did not make a clear and obvious mistake when he allowed West Ham's second goal. Then VAR asked the referee to look at the monitor and he made a clear and obvious mistake and disallowed the goal. It's nonsense.

They don't know their own rules.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

I don't see why the refs can't be miced up. What have they got to hide from the general public and fans.
