It’s just really poorly managed and applied. It’s like they’ve rolled it out without any thought to the parameters around it. Dreadful.

The reason for. It was to improve the accuracy of decision making, but as every one can see it is not fulfilling the stated objective.
So until it can be proven to meet that objective it should be scrapped.
On top of that it is taking much more away from the enjoyment than it adds.
In simple terms it is not fit for purpose.

The referees that review are not fit for purpose. Never held accountable for clear bad decisions. It's PGMOL that needs to be sorted. They're awful.

VAR in principle is a good idea, but not in the hands of corrupt imbeciles

All VAR has done so far is highlight how incompetent the officials truly are, and how they desperately try to cover themselves after continually making errors.

You'll all be happy to know that this goal has been given to Silva which confirms that we've been fucked again by VAR as Sterling is offside and interfering with the GK's vision if just being offside wasn't wrong enough

There will be an excuse, it’s because it’s a 12:30 kick off in a month with the letter R in the name and it’s raining.

I'd rather be shouting the referee needs spectacles  than what we have now.

Fuck VAR.  The only reason I'm not bothered today is that City were so much better than us.

You can tell how incompetent those overseeing  VAR are by how long it takes to get even a clear cut decision right.

Yep. But I disagree that they try to cover themselves. There is no accountability for them. Refs were successful years ago in having the media behind them bleating about how hard their job is and how unfair it is to hold them to account for bad decisions. VAR lands and nothing has changed, apart from we can more clearly see now than ever that they just cannot do the job properly.

I think we all accept officials can't get every decision right, they don't in any sport. And that's where having a VAR should come in, it's there to assist the referee, and yet somehow even with replays some McGrath awful mistakes are being made on a regular basis.

Rugby yet again showed how to use technology today when in the England semi the on field refreree gave a try but then had an honest conversation with the TMO in order to make the right decision without any concern about being found to have got the decision wrong.

The whole set up with VAR seems to be to find an excuse to "prove" the on field ref was right, even when it's bloody obvious he's not!
