VAR thread

[Buzzo]

Debate on 5live about VAR, guy who has been involved (Neil Swarbrook) in it knocking it out of the park responding to criticisms.

The main thing we have to learn is that we aren’t all going to love every decision, we all have different reasons for wanting goals to remain/be ruled out - but then we didn’t love how it went before. It seems to be going well so far, we shall see how we feel about it once we have an important one ruled out.

Fans will adapt. All the talk about it ruining the experience, they'll find a way to fill the space in time to make it fun. Doing the low waving hands before a trophy is lifted or something I'd imagine.

It'll be fine

[Corndog]

There isn't a problem with VAR rather the expectations of fans.

You either accept a greater degree of imperfect refereeing or you accept the sacrifices needed to get a more accurate degree of refereeing.

VAR doesn't stop controversy (this is because it still relies on human interpretation of human made rules) but it allows for a much more measured look at incidents in what is a very dynamic and fast paced game.

Fans will always find something to complain about particularly if it is not in the interests of their team.

Personally, I'm absolutely fine with VAR because in my opinion is a greater injustice for a goal to incorrectly stand than for one to be ruled out after it was initially given.

Having a second set of eyes with the benefit of replay will reduce the error rate according to the letter of the law within the game.

That type of view is broadly representative of the average vote leave.

'they shouldn't be telling us what to do'


Like living in a nation of teenagers, gammon faced teenagers.

OMG, what a plank; seriously did he just blame the EU for VAR..... hahahahaha

****in clown. Everyone knows it's the Jews behind it. Watch as Jerusalem Rovers mysteriously end up in the Europa League after some marginal VAR decisions

Corbyn's fault.

Corbyn's fault.

Nah. He's with me on this one.

Anyone else notice the Aubameyang offside that went unnoticed?

Yes .... and they got a corner from it ... what happens if they get a goal from that corner.

The defender does not chase as much as thinks well he's obviously offside, even if the linesman misses it, VAR wont ... and **** a duck ... nothing, worse still they get a corner from the play

I like VAR but the way they are running offside needs work

Aye.......called it out in the match thread the other day as it happened.

Pretty ****ing 'game-changing' if the team scores from it, and because the corner would be a separate phase of play, VAR wouldn't overturn it.

FWIW, it's more of an issue with the offside guidelines.........but that was an easy call FFS. If a linesman is not sure about that and relying on VAR to bail them out, they have no business being involved.

They really didn't think a lot of things through.

[Kenneth]

A **** up by the linesman. Although he's not supposed to flag it in play, as soon as the ball went out he should have flagged it. Not sure if it would be a good idea to have VAR pauses for decisions that end in corners tbh.

[Chris]

That Tielemans challenge was horrific. If it can’t help reach the right decision on basic stuff like that then what even is the point?
