This ref running to the monitor is nonsense!!! The ref should have contact through his mic and the big screen to look at. |  | | |  |

Even with VAR, they still get it wrong, can you imagine if England get knocked out with a poor decision, the hand of god which, to be fair, they don't mention much will have nothing on it. |  | | |

There where two penalties today that were clearly ball to hand and both got given fuking madness, fuk VAR.
Just how Pique wasn't sent off I don't know, that was a red all day. |
I'm not trawling laws books but there is no ball to hand, the sentiment is now going back going back to as it was and now its more of a case of hand/arm in an unnatural position.
The Iranian penalty it did hit the players arm and its debatable if his arm was in an unnatural position. |  |

How in loving fuk can you jump twist or turn with your arms clinging to your sides, they give one other day when the player had his arm across his body ffs, absolute bullshit by officials have never kicked a tin and nor could most never mind kicking a fuking ball.
They're ruining the game and yes if it happened against us I'd be screaming penalty even though I'm wrong. |  |

But all those decisions are wrong without VAR, ok the Iran penalty would have been right, but the Spain goal would have been ruled out. Imagine that penalty happening early in the game, still being given and the team having no challenges left.
We’re a week and a half into the World Cup, it’s been called upon in most games (I’d imagine) and only now is it getting slated, mainly because the guy operating it had a brain fart and gave a bad penalty.
I think we should be copying the rugby model to be honest |
Its obviously not ready to be rolled out and to do so in a competition that runs every four years and is the pinnacle of World Football, it should have been binned until it was fully sorted. IMHO
And a million down arrows [not you 247] ain't gonna alter that opinion either  | |

That I can’t argue with.
I think the idea is right, the format may need a bit of tinkering, but is more or less right, it needs to be a lot slicker and more professional.
It’s like the World Cup sneaked up on FIFA before they were ready! | | | |

Couldn’t agree more Sir. It is totally ruining the game how players dive abd feign injury yet there is hardly any criticism of this by commentators and summarisers on TV.
Something needs to change quickly. | | | |

Surely a system of stopping the clock has to be introduced soon for Var reviews and when a player is down"injured". Most games in this competition seem to have way less than 30 minutes per half of actual football. | |

VAR has ruined this world cup, decisions are part of the excitement, last thing we want is for football to be anything like rugby - boring and full of cocks. | |
