I miss in the first season when we actually got to see them putting down the lines in real-time. Many people would moan on tight calls when it was toes offside.

Now we only get to see a red or green, on or off decision line which has taken away transparency and put more control back in the hands of PIGMOL. Unsurprisingly Liverpool have gained the most from this change.

I personally would like the automated system FIFA introduced at the World Cup to be used.

It’s coming. Supposedly. I think from next season is the plan but don’t think it’s been confirmed yet.

Won’t affect us in the Conference though I don’t suppose.
 
That's the way it works. Like all the favourable calls we got after Rashford's non-offside goal.

Oh, wait a minute .....
We don't play in the right colour. And our owners are horrible, smelly foreigners (the non-American type, obviously).



Also, did PGMOL(?) ever actually admit that an error was made at "The Theatre of Dreams"™?

No, the official line was that offside would have been a better decision. But the call on the field was “supportable “

I do know that all the PL assistant referees have been asked to attend a refresher course on offside following St Marcus's incident a few weeks ago. However, I'm sure the assistant got it right and it was the ref/VAR who conspired to balls it up
 
If we ended up pipping Arsenal to the title we’d never hear the end of it, as if VAR didn’t fuck us of points at the toilet a few weeks prior.
 
VAR should never be a talking point in football ? How can it be wrong, you got numbers of video replays to use,
the fans and clubs were sold on getting the clear and obvious error right ? Well, if you're onside or offside by a CM how can that be a clear and obvious error by a match the official ?

They should never be calling them, The CM fine calls, let them go if the match officials missed it, they are not clear and obvious error, but just the good old game of football,
 
Do we still have the same defenders of VAR on here? I mean its becoming clear it has made the game worse, by a mile as well. I mean it was brought in to stop stupid nonsensical decisions but we're actually getting more with VAR.

For me, they just need to have ONE person making the judgement calls. The ref. If he gets it wrong he gets it wrong, we all moan about him, he gets a performance review.

Instead we have (Sometimes) unidentified, unqualified, and without public scrutiny, "people" making decisions. No wonder there's no consistency when there's soooooo many involved.

One person the ref.

The highlight for me so far is Luke Shaw's comedy shorts.
 
If the intention was for VAR to be totally honest and above reproach it would have decions by assistants who are not following the game. They should then be asked to make a decision based on greyed out players with digital dots placed on leading parts of their body that can be legally scored from. The technology is there and it would take seconds to find the closest dot to goal.
