VAR

[Kever10]

Do you work full time as a joy hoover or is it just a weekend thing?

I didn't enjoy the 2nd half mate. Did you?

Things to improve VAR:

1. Each team has 1 challenge each half, otherwise on field decisions stands.
2. Them challenges you can have has a time limit of 1 minute (if they still cant decide the on field decision stands)
3. No ex or present referees as VAR officials, independent team of trained personnel.
4. VAR only to look at one incident, not offside then when they see its on side they look for a foul somewhere else in the same passage of play.

He could just as easily support City? Not sure this is the smoking gun you think it is.

Would get rid of it

Same, it ruins football for me, I hardly even cheer these days cos I know whats gonna happen.

But its sadly going nowhere.

Could have done with more gloating at the mancs

THIS
It's sucking all enjoyment and spontaneity out of celebrating a goal.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

What annoys me most about it, is there's never any credible chance of it being binned.

It was brought in under assurance clear and obvious errors only.

It's an absolute farce and kills spontaneity.

It's just another tool that favours the agenda of a handful of clubs.

It’s a bit like the “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” argument.

I’m 100% behind VAR. It’s the ####s running it I don’t like.

The EPL is thoroughly & shamelessly CORRUPT!

 

[Nyhus]

We have scored so few goals recently, i didnt realise how bad its gotten. Everything is var checked, and its a total toss up if they get it right.

Enjoying the moment? Give me a break. You cant even enjoy a goal any more with VAR, basically until the game has kicked off again.

Well I just hope you enjoyed the inevitable kick in the nuts comeback as much you enjoyed the stupid gloating before half time.

You never count your money when you're sitting at the table. - Kenny Rogers

Yeah I did enjoy the sing, the taunting, the gloating.

Just like I enjoyed the equaliser in the Derby and their heads falling off, believing that will get a 4-0 drubbing at Anfield, as they get their last laugh "revenge", cos if I didn't enjoy the moment in some fear of what might happen next then what's the point.

If that makes me a Gobsh*te in your eyes who knows nothing about football so be it. Even though I do agree with you about VAR.

Even with what I think will happen at the next with derby I accept this club has no chance of progressing with the "Everton that" attitude.

Until there are clear stipulations what constitutes 'clear and obvious' and when exactly VAR can intervene and what for, it'll never change. Too much subjectivity, too much inconsistency which leads to the claims of bias and applying rules as they please to decide outcomes they want. At it's core the rules of the game needs to be favouring the attacking sides/players in valid instances, not having a forensic panel go through every possible thing to rule a goal out, because that is what they are currently there to do.

It's been a mess from a very start, Deli Ali punched ball out against us, while playing for Spurs and didn't get penalty. They don't show it on big screens at ground for a reason.

The first line of this is the 100% most important bit. People screamed for it for years and years, now it's here and it's going nowhere, like it or not. The genie is out of the bottle so to speak and it's a circle that cannot be squared to everyones agreement - hell even just last summer was it 19 teams voted to keep it when Wolves submitted a vote to scrap it?!

I feel like it has stopped a lot of pure and blatant cheating from the players but has allowed pure and blatant cheating from the officials if that makes any sense. I think it has MARGINALLY been a good thing. But barely because it isn't utilized properly

Now it’s used at all times if the team plays in blue, but never if they play in, say, red.
