VAR

[ChicagoLion]

Any report from within PGMOL is basically going to consist of them sucking their own cocks, and they're all the kind of people that would have a rib removed to do so.

Is the correct answer.

They are now marking their own homework, wankers.

[LeeS]

Just get rid of it. I couldn’t care less if there’s a few incorrect calls from the officials but please just kick this s***e into touch.

Yes, yes and thrice yes

[Skerra]

What a breath of fresh air with some FA cup matches not having VAR. Proper goal celebrations knowing that it’s not going to be over turned due to a player not having cut his toenails.
Get rid and we can get back to real football.

Get rid of VAR and you have referees giving decisions to the Manchester United of this world once again, maybe it's not perfect but remember Kane and others falling over there own feet, penalty referee, yes Harry three bags full Harry

[HolteL4]

Villa have been the biggest beneficiaries?  Does that not simply mean that they got more wrong against us and had to correct it?

Exactly this, maybe they should be asking why do the officials have to have their decisions against us corrected so many times.

[Steve67]

Do we have evidence that it works better in any other country?  One would question, if so, why we are not all following their good examples and practice.  If we all have the same problem, get shot.  It seems to be a vehicle to rule out goals, instead of ruling them in. Unless it's really super obvious that the goal will count, I am finding it really difficult to celebrate and get excited.  VAR is slowly ruining my love for the game.

Although didn’t VAR confirm the decision of Penalty to Ratface when he kicked our defender in the leg and then fell over?

He was still winning penalties like that anyway. It does need to go though, I hate it.

My opinion FWIW is: no matter how much technology is introduced the final decision is still determined by a human being and whether they concur and until there is more referee's standing by their on-field decisions then football is going to continue on its journey down the pan.  No VAR in most FA Cup matches last weekend and rightly or wrongly the game was better for it.

[Skerra]

My thoughts exactly Dave. I was one really in favour of VAR being brought in but seeing how it is being used and, making as many bad calls, as to prior to it being used, I now say get rid of it.

[Toronto Villa]

I still feel the on field decision should stand if in the space of a max 30-45 seconds of a multiple camera angles and the best technology trained professionals cannot see a clear and obvious error.

Until they keep looking at it and it ends up a bad call.

The current method doesn’t guarantee the right result and it takes an eternity for them to get there. VAR by its very definition is meant to be an assistant to the process. Assistant to the on field referee but instead it’s taken over as the judgement itself. So I feel it needs to get back to the original intent to make overall decisions better versus scrutinizing every detail killing the flow and joy of the game.

It's a wank system, get rid.  I'd rather talk about the unlucky call we had to suffer when the Lino got it wrong, than the infernal chat about VAR.  Killing the game.  I agree with you.

[The Edge]

It should be binned but it won't. They are too invested in it now. The jolly they enjoy at Stockley Park will not be given up lightly. We are stuck with it I'm afraid. If we must keep it I think it needs changing. Firstly I think they should feck off with the stupid lines on the screen and secondly they should cut out slow motion replays because they give a distorted view of what actually happened. If they think the on field officials have made a clear and obvious error send the ref to the screen and show him the different camera angles but only at full speed. He can then make his decision. Also I'd put a time limit on it of say one minute. That's plenty of time to show him replays.
