I'd agree with that, create a grey area where the tech is considered unreliable so we stick with the refs decision.

Can it not be also used in a limited way for teams to appeal like the one in tennis?  And that foul by Pickford was horrorshow. He needs a punishment for that.

When that West Ham goal went it I was fucking praying VAR didn’t rule it out because a West Ham hair wasn’t in an offside position. I hate what it’s come to.

Oh and another point - why can't the game introduce "citing" like Rugby Union. Pickford should have been cited and retrospectively red carded. Outrageous tackle that has put VVD out for 8 months, and had that been against a Villa player, there would be a riot on here.

Generally it's be nice if football referees would manage the game & the players as they do in rugby union.  Nigel Owens took no shit at the end of the Exeter - Paris final last night.

Rugby players have respect for the refs, football players don't, which makes a big difference.

Agreed. No respect for the refs in football and that's why any requests for them to be treated like the refs in rugby is a non-starter. The basis for WHY the refs in rugby are respected begins with their top-class judgment and decisions in the game. They rarely get it wrong. I may sometimes take a referral to the video refs in the stands or a bit of a conflab with the linesmen/linespeople but them everyone gets on with the game because THE RIGHT DECISION HAS BEEN MADE.

That is almost never true of premier league referees per game. They make on average 3 decisions per playing minute getting no more than 70% of them correct. The stats are in, they've been measured; referees in this country get 1 in 4 decisions wrong, making at least 5 result-deciding errors per game.

We can't hope to get anywhere close to more fair results until this fundamental problem is fixed.

A shockingly bad penalty decision!

Who was the VAR official?

Should just clarify- he doesn’t call himself Dre - he seems like a decent bloke- they were ripping him on the Peter Crouch podcast earlier this year (or late last year can’t remember when)

I'm sorry I completely disagree.  Respect for the ref in rubgy starts at U8's age group and is instilled in all players throught their playing career.  You can have absolutely shocking reffing at grass roots level yet the players still treat the ref with respect.

I do agree top level rugby refs are usually excellent and of course that helps, but respect for refs in rugby is part of it's culture.

People say it could never be the same in football.  You probably wouldn't want it to be to be honest, but you could stop swearing at refs and confrontational crowding within a few weeks if they really wanted to just by having a period of zero tolerance.

I know it's gone in our favour there but that's yet another ridiculous VAR offside decision.  He's not in the goalie's eyeline and he's not touched the ball.  How can that be offside?

It's ridiculous - it's football by computer.

If he's not there, Konsa doesn't play the ball.

Cause Konsa knew sure certain there wasn't a player behind him?!

If we'd had that goal disallowed there'd be uproar on here and rightly so.
