VAR next season!

[mrb85]

It appears the PL has had a change of mind and VAR is to be used in PL games next season.
Ridiculous decision.

Totally ruining football.

Once the teething problems are sorted I think it’ll be alright personally. Maybe a season too soon though.

Good, don't care how dodgy it seems, it needs to happen. It'll get better the more they use it and hopefully it'll clamp down on cheating.

It isn't ruining football, it's the crap use of it that is ruining a good technology

They don't have the same issues in Germany or Spain

It's very easy to use it correctly.

Really? A team so often reliant on divers and whingers are surely going to be the biggest losers in this.

Im 50/50 over it,if it was speeded up caused less delay then,maybe it will work

Why do you think that? The cheating will just get more sophisticated. So yes there'll be no more blatant diving without there having been any physical contact but instead players will make use of making the contact themselves but making it look like the contact was initiated by the opponent.

Maybe use it for offsides, but otherwise it’s far too subjective.

Been working well in the A league for a few years now. When i watch games on a Saturday morning they only use it on goals to check and about twice a game for other issues.

Think it will be good for the game.

The whingers will still whinge. In fact it will encourage them to ask for reviews on VAR.
Forget bemoaning the end of the 3 o clock kick off. Get ready for the end of the pre-5 o clock finish. Will those who traditionally leave with 15 minutes left on the clock now have to review their practice?

I was on about the rs current campaign for replaying things
They are of course quite good at losing things (aren't you rs lurkers? )

Precisely. You're just replacing one human being's perception (the ref) with someone else's (sat in a room somewhere).

If VAR had been used in the champions league (champions? ha!), them lot would have been knocked out in pretty much every knockout round before the final by the offside decisions being reversed. Sounds good to me lol
