World Cup VAR

[Jalfraag]

Thought this thread needed resurrecting given what we have just seen.
VAR ... arbitrary in the least.

VAR fanboys have been a bit thin on the ground in here recently.

Who the fuck decides what to and what not to ‘ look at’.
Just bullshit.

 

[FantasyIreland]

VAR has been a fucking disaster.It has not enhanced this competition in the slightest.

Rubbish.

 

[blue roo]

Rubbish.

Well , it clearly hasn’t enhanced this game as it.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Rubbish.

I have seen decisions that should have been given overlooked,and those that should have been waved away given.......so how has it improved the game?

 

[malg]

That decision is fuck all to do with VAR and everything to do with the imbecile running it. VAR has been excellent in this tournament.

This.

Exactly.

Which is the biggest fault of VAR.

It doesn't improve officials.

Which is the problem.

 

[asahartford1]

Rubbish.

If only you were watching the Final.

Not the end of VAR but surely the beginning of tje end.

The problem is VAR can't operate without humans so there's always going to be more chances to fuck things up. Better off without it.

It has been MOTM in the final mate, it has had a blinder.

I think it was a stonewall penalty. Hit his arm outside of the body from 30 yards.

Then you are not aware of the law, that says his arm has to hit the ball. Not the other way round.

Surely they can’t be ‘ mutually exclusive’.
I looks like some fucker tosses a coin to decide what to review and what not to review.

 

[Barcon]

I think it was a stonewall penalty. Hit his arm outside of the body from 30 yards.

I thought it came off the France players head about half a yard in front of him.

 

[ballinio]

This comes in & City would never win the league again

 

[asahartford1]

I think it was a stonewall penalty. Hit his arm outside of the body from 30 yards.

So the fact that he was unsighted, and the fact it took a deflection has nothing to with it ?
You could get a job.....

 

[CityInWashingtonState]

VAR - superficially desirable.
VAR in the W/C - overall, seems to be working well.
VAR in the near future - AI will eventually supplant referees.
Officiating in the distant future - AI will do it all.

 

[Hart of the Matter]

I think we are seeing how VAR can be used for fixing outcomes. No review of offside and detailed review of dubious handball. Not saying it is fixed but the decision of what to review and what not to review has decided this final so far
