SCRAP VAR

[Blueclouds]

Clear and obvious?

It took them 5 minutes to find something wrong.
The players should just walk off. It's a disgrace.

But why would Leicester players walk off, their fans celebrated like they scored a goal when it was ruled out just like the rs did.

They have to remove clear and obvious from the criteria, that call was wrong and the point shouldn't be to decide how wrong. It's how you get VVD not getting red, because the VAR decided it wasn't wrong enough.

The way to fix this is make it challenge based. Each team gets to challenge one call and keeps it if they're right. At least then it is strategy and it isn't going to come in on every little thing.

But it still only works if the reviews are always honest.

I hate the current var system and would happy to scrap it.

But the only way it can even kind of work is through challenges. That way the var must look at an incident when requested and can't pick and choose

You need to have some provision for fixing bad calls imo. The other argument is simply the rules don't matter.

It was fine the way it was.
Had been for over 100 years. It weren't broke and didn't need fixing.

Exactly. It sounds weird but it makes it a fair contest when you do it that way. Out of challenges? Should've managed it better. It works in several other sports.

Because they are subject to the same farcical decisions that are ruining the game

It was very broke, I'm not sure how people just gloss over all the complaining about decisions that happened pre VAR.

It's worse since its introduction. They are still getting it wrong so what/how has it improved?

I didn't say it has. But get rid of it because it was fine before is imo plainly incorrect.

Keeping it because its no better don't work either

Tweaking it to make it better is what I'm suggesting friend

I would love that to happen but they won't. Fans should rally together and not attend the match, ignore the top 6 who don't have local fans bit the rest of us can

Sticking it raaar in the bin is what I'm suggesting friend

Yes you'd rather just not fix the problem and I don't think like that. It's OK that you do though.

It’s intervening way more than it should, to the point where it’s becoming the main talking point in nearly every game.

“Clear and obvious” it was sold on. When it’s taking 5 minutes to come to any conclusion, I think we’ve far passed clear and obvious.

 

[MACCA75]

Get rid of it. Should have stopped after the goal line technology. Absolutely minuscule offsides and adding another layer of subjectivity to penalty calls have not enhanced the game one bit,
