World Cup VAR

What the fuck was the explanation for not giving Sweden a penalty? Why didn't they go to VAR? Who makes the decision as to whether it's reviewed or not?

There s been several that have been turned round by VAR that have been highly debatable e.g. the handball pen the other day in the Denmark game which was diabolical and others that have been looked at and not given e.g. Argentina not to mention loads that haven't even been looked at ! It's a complete farce of a system taking the refs subjective decision to the men in their nuclear bunker subjective decision. As I have said all along I'm ok with Offside s where incidents take place and serious foul play but that's it.

None that have been turned around because of VAR have been incorrect The hand ball law is a mess, that's the issue not VAR with the Denmark one. The Argentina pen WASNT looked at. Same ref as tonight for the non Sweden pen... sabotage much, and people fall for it. Ffs

The non looking at things is fixed with the 2 Challenges a game solution, which sorts out its only issue overnight.
 
Tonight shows us how City will get stitched up VAR. Favoured team will get benefit. Ref can call that pen either way and not get it reviewed becuase some doubt.

Just like penalties we get now, it will be reviewed in our favour when we're 3-0 up, but never when it's a match winner. I'm surprised all city fans can't see this.

You're hilarious!

@Bluearmy has now repeated the same view I had with you already, days ago! But now, you're arguing that ref's 'subjective' decision on whether not something is a pen is problematic if it goes to review to see if that 'subjective' viewpoint is accurate or not!!

Fookin' absolute comedy gold...

It was.
Problem with VAR is that it's used somewhat arbitrarily,or appears to be.
Clear penalties missed,being a negative.
It's still a work in progress.

Yes, in this version which is CLEARLY flawed!

I hate this version for all the potential it could be, done correctly.

I have no idea who would sign off on a half thought out presentation.

Completely agree pal.

It has changed some dodgy decisions,
Neymars play acting for instance.

So it hasn't been all bad,providing some proper thought goes into when and what VAR is used for,and made clear it's use to everyone,it should be a success,eventually.

I don't want it to be a crutch for shit referees though.

I get that, but unless VAR has usage viewing limits it will be the very crutch none of us want.
