VAR


Legalised match fixing. Gives them an excuse to give the decision that they actually want. You can even see it happening in real time. They spend ages trying to find an excuse to disallow Tarky in the Derby, then Beto today. Then they spend ages trying to find anything to turn over that penalty. Everton need to go in two footed today.

I never liked it. My view is in football to score and celebrate. Not score and celebrate 5 mins later . Not to looks for every reason not to give it..... 3, 4, 5 mins and then give a decision which nobody agrees with.

It should be scraped.

The thing for me is that it definitely is not VAR that is causing the issue. Video assisting has been in Rugby for a very long time. Yes there are still mistakes but 95% of the time it is all about clear and obvious and quickly and correctly resolved.

If football just say clear and obvious on field mistake then that penalty is given, Beto's goal is given after 20 seconds max, Matete's goal last week is given after 20 seconds max.

Again, that's the people running it. In my view, VAR should have 30 seconds to overturn a decision. If it isn't clear and obvious, you can't overturn it. However, that still doesn't stop blatant corruption. Sky have said that var didn't put the camera angle that showed the shirt pull on the ref's monitor. Why would they choose not to do that?

My opinion was, given he was giving yellow for non fouls (literally no contact dives) that the players should have become more physical and at least leave something on their players to warrant the card.

It’s a fine line though, as maybe this dreadful referee would have given reds for yellow card offenses. He was unbelievably biased toward Man Utd.

What I don’t get is how there is zero accountability? Moyes and the club will try and go through the proper channels to avoid censure. This is where the media and, God help us, politicians can makes some kind of difference.

There must be some evidence of corruption somewhere, but will be very difficult to flush out without clear evidence being uncovered.
 

So, the ref gave the pen for Maguires pull, VAR intervened to prove Maguires pull was not sufficient, reverse on field decision.

Ref did not give the pen for the De Ligt pull; which was the actual penalty. VAR deems the ref not giving a penalty for De Ligt was not clear and obvious so not enough to challenge the ref not giving it. Hence why the VAR screens focus was only on Maguire angles.

Got it. Phew. Was worried we’d been cheated.
 
My view on it when 1st introduced was that poor officials would still make poor mistakes, today just emphasized it, almost 4 minutes to look at the first goal, there really should be a time limit on the length of time, the penalty even in real time was without doubt a penalty, it doesn't matter if Young done a triple somersault, a forward flip and finished doing the splits, it is clearly a foul, how VAR can look at it from all angles, then as for a review, then the ref not give it is beyond incompetence
