They manage it in American Football.

American Football is more akin to cricket than football in some respects. One is that both are a series of short bursts of play interspersed by dead time. As I’m sure you know, an NFL team have a guy who’s specific job during a game is to monitor the game on TV and advise the head coach within seconds if a challenge is likely to be successful. I can’t see that translating to football in any worthwhile way.
 
Can we clear up, once and for all, which team VAR is being used for the benefit of, or is it just bent in general and used to make cash?

It’s used imo by Sky and the PL to ensure interest and thus revenue in the product.

That was offside tonight. The decision to award the goal clearly manipulated.
 
eague

Ah the old one that the ref has never played the game. I had a YTS (remember them) at Coventry. Also had trials at Derby & Leeds before playing non league for Spennymoor & Durham City.
I didn't mean to offend you certainly.
Only just realized you are a ref. It makes sense now considering the standard of referees in England :)

The newcastle player had no intention of playing the ball, he just barged into Stones, looking for contact. Only Stones had the intention of playing the ball.
It's closer to foul on Stones IMO.

There are a whole load of reasons why someone would want to manipulate results. If I were a betting man (pun intended) I would be looking into patterns of spread betting surrounding contentious VAR decisions.

I wonder what odds were available on number of Red/Yellow cards in our game yesterday???
 
Even without indulging in the conspiracy theories, it's the complete lack of consistency in how VAR decisions (and the rules of the game in general, really) are applied that sticks in your throat. How was that Rashford decision arrived at so quickly and so definitively when other tight calls take minutes?

I get the point, but its in our favour so who cares. Rags are no threat. The bin dippers are! This is a great night for us, god bless VAR

Every PL team has that same video capability on the bench and a 4th official stood tight next up the bench.

Much like VAR, if there’s a will, there will be a way. I don’t think there’s a will, so it’s probably moot!
 
Yes to an extent,but when it continues to fuck us over in games it can end up costing you points,
Four VAR decisions last season led to disallowed goals in our favour, while four penalties fell in our favour. We got lucky with our 1-0 away win at Everton in February. VAR has been great for us!! We would be much worse off without it, like the bad old days… Be careful what u wish for
