VAR is a blight on our game 20:47 - Oct 20 with 19577 views

Watford robbed yesterday and man yoo's goal should not have stood today. So something that was designed to eradicate controversy is actually creating it.

Seemlingly a huge proportion of goals being referred to VAR. Referees don't have to referee any more. Fans can't properly celebrate in the moment of joy when the ball hits the net because the immediate reaction is to see if it gets referred to VAR. It's also an irritating name.

i truly hate it.

FIFA said to be 'taking back control of VAR' - whatever that means from IFAB.

Thought we were stuck with it, but the way its going we might get a reprieve.

Problem is , as I've said sooooo many times - 'VAR' isn't some mythical all seeing eye - he is just another referee - therefore we will agree, disagree, laugh and shout at his decisions.

On 'Ref Chat' - referees with no axe to grind for either team, we will argue for days on end sometimes over a decision - there is no system in the world that will get every decision right - at some stage I'm hoping that penny will drop with the powers that be.

What a cheating tvvat Grealish is

Was saying the same thing PP.

I can't get my head around a system that showed clearly the cheating little twunt goes down "injured" after treading on someone's foot but doesn't get a card for it

Don’t you know that he is the most fouled (?) player in the league?
Nothing to do with the fact that he also goes down easier than a whore’s knickers.

Bournemouth just scored a goal at Man City to make it 2-1 (to City) but disallowed by VAR because his toe, litterally his big toe, was just ahead of the heel of the City defender.

FFS, this is not what VAR is for.

It’s for the Ashley Cole>Shaun Derry or the Man City “it was a little bit of a foul and a little bit offside but what a great goal” situations.

And now again Burnley v Wolves.

Burnley get an injury time penalty to equalise.

Never a penalty, his arm was up to protect his face from dangerous play.

Keane commented that prior to the rule change the free kick would have possibly gone to Wolves because of dangerous play. Instead Burnley get a penalty.

VAR is the worst bloody thing to happen to football since some team was invented to fill a poxy ground in South West London in 1905.

Get rid of both.

Major change in rule was for attackers not defenders.

I would get rid of VAR tomorrow but actually thought this was a pen and even if not , it wasn't ' a clear and obvious error'

'Law' regarding VAR protocol HAS been tweaked slightly, whereby pitch referees have been 'encouraged' to go to pitchside monitors for 'subjective' decisions so we'll see if PGMOL actually do that next season - might get 'better' decisions, but of course we will still disagree with some AND it will slow the game down even more

Agree 100% on the tight offsides , the ones where there are literally millimetres in it, I would go with the on field decision 100% of the time, purely because definition of picture is not good enough to capture precisely the moment team mate first touches the ball when making the pass - that is when offside is judged as per LOTG.

Back in the day if you were level you were off, it was then changed for the better, it needs tweaking again now to “must have clear daylight between defender and forward”. Another marginal decision in the Palace United game today.
