VAR

[tommytowne]

I think fans have short memories to an extent - I remember referee errors happening all the time before VAR and many were calling for technology to come in on that basis.

Its not the tech its how the officials are using it and how the laws are interpretated.

My recollection was goal line technology was wanted not eliminating the on field official which is what we've ended up with.

Yes I totally agree its just not necessary I don't think any football fan ever thought that is how the offside rule should work.

Plus every time we see an offside decision the process of when/where they draw the lines never look right.

I just don't see how they can't use where a strikers lead foot is planted as he makes his run and then use the defenders feet. Would be a whole lot easier to understand and implement surely?

tbh though, I'd rather VAR just be completely binned. Someone mentioned before, it's actually got worse under Webbs watch and he seems incapable of steadying the ship. I'd rather take my chances on the amount of decisions that went against us pre VAR than this weekly pile of crap as in the last 10 days alone we've had DCLs disallowed goal against Spurs, pen against City which was just an absolute farce and then last night where DCzl tickles Clyne's shin.

Enough is enough

Think at times Palace players to keen to go to grass which this incident clearly shows that, look at Ezee gets a yellow for diving.

Quite simply. Sky sports customer base are mostly kopites, most of the refs are kopites, most of the pundits are kopites. A whole generation of people who grew up with their das supporting Rush and King Kenny now have control of most of the game and run it for the advantage of their cash paying customers. Shafting Everton on the weekly is hilarious for them and drives revenue.

A lot of games recently are being remembered for what’s happened in stockley park, rather than on the pitch.

It seems each week the football headlines begin with VAR Controversy

And what does Hughes say to DCL as he's walking off? Cheeky git!

I think he looks he looks pretty sympathetic, to be honest.

Definitely thought Hughes was being sympathetic towards Dom as he was walking off, by looking at Hughes's expression.

Anyone who didn’t think their was an agenda against us like myself surely do now.

You can’t have that many coincidences

It’s blatant

5 years since a player has received two yellows resulting in a red card against us. 5 years!! In an era where yellows cards are thrown about like confetti.

The way I saw it if I'm honest.

My bad! Top right pic looks like he's taunting him.

Warnock slamming Craig Pawson as anti-Everton. Goarn son lol

The problem is not VAR itself, it's the people behind it

It is VAR, nobody minds referees making honest mistakes, so before VAR DCL would be still on the pitch. We would of drew 2-2 to Spurs, the penalty against Onana wouldn't have been given. And that's just in recent weeks. Haalands challenge on myki last season was far worse than DCLs last night. VAR is the problem, I don't mind officials getting decisions wrong, such as missing a penalty. The Rodri handball wasn't a mistake, it was blatant corruption, before VAR you could say, oh well nobody saw it. It hasn't done anything to improve decisions it's just made things worse, add to that random stoppage time addages. For example 10 minutes stoppage time against Newcastle, when nothing had happened in the game to justify it, yet when you had countless stoppages against Wolves at home only like 5 mins were added on.
