Site Supporter MickyD Posted March 1, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted March 1, 2018 Reckon we'll all become experts if this var carries on. Either that or take a book for the intermissions. Daft thing last night was not be able to see the ball properly with the snow. Got loads of technology but not a visible ball. Part of the issue is that every other sport using VAR actually shows it in the stadium and then has the referee announcing the decision and reason. That Spurs v Rochdale game created more VAR talking points than it answered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 TV replays regularly show a difference of opinion between 'experts'. VAR is no different. In my opinion the refs decision is final. Assuming of course he has the balls to stand up to the big clubs and give a honest decision. On a slightly different tack I like the citing rule in RU and think this could eradicate a lot of cheating if the culprits were sufficiently banned when found guilty.

Theboybell Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Goal in the spurs game ruled offside and VAR agreed with his call. Pictures show level. The system don't work and for me experiment didnt work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted March 17, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted March 17, 2018 But the var folk know they will be scrutinised by the tv pundits so have to get it right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 VAR being used to call back players from half time break to take a penalty at a game in Germany. Complete and utter fuckin shambles. How can anyone still be behind this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted April 16, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted April 16, 2018 That's ridiculous. What would happen at full time when thousands have left? Time to start a fresh football set up. Invite the fa to switch allegiance, sod fifa and the corrupt fuckers and bring some semblance of normality and common sense back to the game.

Site Supporter Alf Hartigan Posted April 16, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted April 16, 2018 It's utter nonsense to me, unfortunately seems like most in the game still want it, what do fans know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 It’s gonna fuck up big style at the World Cup. Someone is gonna fall foul of it. The refs from the other nations are always bad enough never mind shoving this in to the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted April 16, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) Not sure there's going to be a world cup; or at least one where all players are happy to go. I know your'e supposed to keep sport and politics separate, but surely there's going to be a degree of discomfort, especially with our lot, players are human after all.

Site Supporter Alf Hartigan Posted April 16, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted April 16, 2018 It's a handball under current rules, but they need to be changed, there's no way that was deliberate, 7 minutes wasted, we'll be watching 3 hour games if this carries on. Drama I can do without. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 What happens at full time? Imagine a goal mouth scramble, backs to the wall style in the last minute of game. Ball booted clear, refbows and place goes nuts. Then VAR spots something and players are pulled back on for a penalty. I can’t believe not more is being done to stop this happening. It’s going to kill the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted June 9, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted June 9, 2019 VAR is dreadful. Football is already sterile enough without this but to check all sorts of goals, offsides etc it’s becoming a joke. Get rid of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deane koontz Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 There was just a pen given by var in the flatdick game for "handball" . Shit was ridiculous. I have no idea why I'm watching this tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
