VAR next season!

Is this not just for Carabao cup matches at Premier league grounds? And not the premier league?
 

It's influence on rugby is one of creeping officiousness and interference. On field refs have more and more abnegated decision making to the video ref and the latter are getting more and more interfering in spheres supposedly outside their remit. On balance, it's introduction has been to the detriment of the games flow imo. In football, I foresee it having an even worse impact on a game that's popularity is largely due to its uncomplicatedness. Make no mistake, those faceless VAR refs will make it their business to get involved.

Reading it again, I think you're right.
Apologies to all for starting this thread.

Thank god for that, can you imagine how awful it would have been, the way it's been implemented so far has been nothing short of a laughable joke.

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.

Because its the only thing I have left which helps me hope the rigged sport can be cleaned.

Players can try and cheat all they like, but at least now officials can have more than one look to determine they have cheated.
 
The joy of football is discussing the match, warts and all. I don't want to discuss crap VAR and all the hold ups and whimping out if decisions.

moreover it will further undermine refs. they have it tough enough without being encircled by professional whingers demanding replays. Imagine danny murphy deciding if we get a penalty or not. He did enough damage banning Niase.
 
For linear decisions, (over the line which I know we already have, and offside) fine by me.

Anything that is remotely subjective, a big No from me. And this idea of refs being able to see an incident at HT, then take retrospective action is plain daft.

It might have put a different shine on certain games refereed by a Mr Clattenburg though!

This all day. I won't be attending any games in which VAR is involved. That means any League Cup game where a Premiership team is at home in 2018/19. This interference in football is the actual beginning of the end of football as a spectator sport and the acknowledgement that the Premier League is all about television. Sky never shut up about it. The following season, 2019-20, will see VAR in all Premier League games in my opinion. At this point I will be relinquishing my season ticket and finishing a relationship with Everton that has been there since the 0-0 draw with Coventry City in Feb/March 1970. The People's Game is now the Gravy Train. Sorry about the rant lads, but they've messed about with our game and ruined it in the process.
 
It should only be used for offsides decisions and goal line decisions. Other than that, please kill me if they start taking debatable decisions into their hands.
