World Cup VAR

The euphoria of scoring a goal that we all love about football will be gone forever

Did you miss the South Korean first goal? The euphoria was prematurely ended by a linos flag and then came back again after VAR.

complicates a simple game that should be the same game in div 3 as it is in the premier league

Utter tripe. There’s literally tens of millions on the line in one. May as well do away with goal line technology as well then.

What about if United scored in the last minute to win the league, but it was an offside goal but no VAR?
If United score an offside goal in the tenth minute of extra time its a goal, var or no var.

Don't forget we are in the "premier" league, with Premier Refs who get to sit on the var panel as well.
 
Is it getting it right '9 times out of 10' though?

Iran were awarded a penalty for a non-deliberate handball whilst no pen was awarded to Nigeria for virtually the same offence after both had been referred.

That's before we even start talking about the pens which weren't given to England in the Tunisia game whilst the same offence was punished in the Panama game.

It should have been far more accurate before it was introduced at a World Cup.
The Serbia non penalty was the most shocking in terms of the obvious error of the decision and impact on the teams (Serbia would have probably gone in today having already qualified)

This, this and thrice this.
 
Yeah i get that. But i dont want it like Rugby where nigh on every try is scrutines before given.
I dont want the euphoria of a last minute goal taken away whilst we sit and wait for VAR to have a look if there was anything intoward in the build up
Most tries are given straightaway in rugby.
 
You’re answering my question with your City bias.
Yes.
But the point still stands, that ultimately its human beings - the same Refs who usually officiate games on the field - getting to decide. The same ones who couldn't muster a single official good enough for the world Cup.
And if you recall all the absurd, obvious errors made in the league (and not just vs City), just can't have any faith.

United fans think refs have got a conspiracy against them. It isn’t just City that get bad decisions given against them.
 
When it still relies on the ref to refer it or not it will never help City, the refs in England are incompetent/bent take your pick but they would make a complete & utter shambles here.
The euphoria of scoring a goal that we all love about football will be gone forever, the time it takes is another issue . I just complicates a simple game that should be the same game in div 3 as it is in the premier league , it makes football a tiered game & that’s wrong .

But surely the ‘euphoria’ of scoring shouldn’t over ride the fact a goal has been scored when there has been a foul or it’s offside etc ?
Your basically letting cheating and incompetence have the upper hand.

The VAR reviews are adding more to the euthoria, the eruption when the Korea goal was given today was amazing and its sickening to think that would otherwise have not been given - a totally good goal, ruled out.

It’s madness we’ve accepted one official to make blind decisions and guesses for decades!

Yes, yes and yes. The euphoria argument is bull.
