VAR

[ASCPFC]

The Chelsea and Man U decisions so far this season have been diabolical. Man U wouldn't have any points if they didn't get a penalty every game.

Yes, I've just seen this. What a dreadful message it sends to the football world. Wrong decisions made remotely using technology are ruining the game. No question.

The VAR has to take a step back and not try re-refereeing the game . I think we should only use it when the referee asks for a clarification on a decision . Apart from that just ref the game without interference .

Either that or get rid of it

Hard to say . The momentum would have been with Fulham . We all know how important the first goal can be

The current way VAR works is that when a lesser team scores against a big side, VAR relooks at every aspect of the build up and goal finding any way they can disallow it. Nothing is looked at when the darlings score. It's blatant and should be protested far more than it is.
Sky seem major culprits here. Constantly trying to excuse every decision. I will not watch Dermot Gallagher. He's the Lord Haw Haw of football propaganda.

VAR is not going to disappear into the ether, it is here to stay, besides the scope of the VAR might expand to include decisions on 'Yellows' and the awarding of corners.
Certainly IFAB are open to discussions about further uses of VAR.

I can think of some uses for it.

There is always the propensity for debate and polarised opinions when subjectivity enters the equation.

Yes Willo, we all know really that we're stuck with bloomin' VAR, but all we're saying is that we don't like it. It's taking the spontaneous pleasure out of the game.

I will accept that the implementation of VAR whilst reducing significant errors, has proved controversial due to the disruption to the game's flow, the delays in decision-making etc etc.
I have engaged in numerous conversations on this subject and the over-riding opinion was that VAR system currently in operation was detrimental to the game's enjoyment.

I don't often value the opinion of that numbskull Joe Cole, but yesterday his view that the managers don't like it, the players don't like it and the fans don't like it summed it up for me.

 

[thegreatlardino]

keep the on field refs to stop players and managers battering each other, apart from that let VAR ref the whole game job done!

The game is disintegrating into a VAR bore.

Scott Parker 'it is the becoming the most sterile game'.

Absolutely bang on.

VAR is killing the game, killing the excitement and the enjoyment of watching it.

We still have error after error, shite decisions, and the game is subject to way more controversy and potential for corruption than ever before.

Two weeks ago we were robbed by an appalling decision. The first use of a law implemented SIX years ago. A law, if penalised last season, would have seen at least 9 direct free-kicks disallowed. Now you can’t even celebrate when a direct free kick goes in because you’ll have to wait whilst they review it to see if there was an infringement!

It’s just awful and with yet more appalling decisions from VAR yesterday it just needs writing off as a horrendous mistake and get back to proper officiating from the 3 match officials without ANY external interference other than goal-line technology.
