VAR thread 2022/23

[Blue Mist]

PGMOL are effectively an organisation working in and under the instruction of Premier League. What motivation would they have to disband it? You’re really suggesting nothing more than they change the name of it in practice.

The Premier League have no control of pigmol. They are contracted to them. They choose their members, operate their own rules (NDA's etc) they have no reason to improve as they still get the work.

Well it isn’t going to happen, however much you might like the idea. They see the VAR as an extension of the at game officials. All part of the same team working together. They even sit there wearing the same coloured refs shirt as the rest of the officials at the game.

So we will still be saying var is shit in 10 years time.

Well Americans still whinge about the NFL video referees and they’ve been going the best part of 50 years. So I’d say, yes, most likely.

Impressive decisive decision, something that won't be done by our lot.

It’s all they could say really barring hanging the blind ref out to dry.

I’d give the new system more than 2 match days before deciding it’s without flaws.

See how it works in the World Cup and if successful, bring it in at the start of the second half of the season.

Which is why I mentioned the Premier League doing something and being proactive. Sack off Pigmob as it clearly is a useless but self serving organisation.
Why should Pigmob improve ? There is no threat to them.
Let's face it, they have the PL over a barrel at the moment.
