VAR

[PhilM]

How can a ‘kin accidental coming of together in contact sport be deemed a penalty

it’s ruined football

The PL's response to the BBC was utterly shambolic: clear and obvious is subjective and Martin Atkinson claimed a decision against David Silva was justified.

If the referee had gone over to the screen, the decision would not have been given. The whole decision and policy that it's the VAR referee only is dubious at best.

 

[blue to the bone]

A lot of people have started to become disillusioned with football with all the money involved. The sky monopoly and their total bias towards big teams. The disconnect between fans and the players.
But for me nothing has come close to testing my patience and love of the game then var.
It is slowly ruining the game.

Love to know who the idiots were who judged our game today, should be named and shamed.

Not just today. And that's not the reason I'm so annoyed . Its every week at least 2 or 3 times they make an absolute hash of it. The main talking point every weekend now is about var . Not the football

between horrific officiating and now horrific VAR, i wonder what's the point? Prem isn't worth following... FFS the ineptitude make the NBA refs seem competent.

Yes tbh I'm at the point now of thinking VAR is a failed experiment. Goal line technology only thanx.

Supposed to bring balance to the force. It was the chosen one.

Lee Mason, mate.

The problem isnt VAR itself its the way it is used.

Basically VAR should be used for the ref on the pitch to go over and review something again and if he still feels its not based on the play back then thats his decision.

The whole "clear and obvious" made by someone sat miles away just ruins it.

VAR - Michael Eberwein concedes penalty while warming up

Holstein Kiel midfielder Michael Eberwein gives away a penalty while warming up as a substitute - and all because of VAR.

From what I have heard/read, the ref has the opportunity to go to the pitchside monitor to look at what the VAR official looked at (as in the WOrld Cup), but that has not happened once yet...

That’s the rule though. The sub kicked the ball when it was in play. A penalty was the right decision based on the rules.

I agree, it’s a mad rule, but the interpretation of it by the ref was 100% correct there. Don’t hate the player, hate the game - an all that jazz.

The Championship is now more exciting and more genuine than the corrupt Premier League.
Competitive games, passionate players and no VAR.
Money and Sky have totally ruined the Premier League and will continue to do so.

So a 2nd rate ref hiding under a sheet can make any decision he wants and his judgment is final. Football is finished.
