Soo...How do we reckon this is going to play out in the World Cup?

 

 

 

 

Success

 

 

 

A big bag of shite that spoils the WC

 

 

 

Or a bit of both..

It’s going to be used by officials from countries that have just about invented the whistle.

I reckon there will be as many contentious decisions made on the back of VAR than there would without it.

 

The technology is there and has been for years, unfortunately FIFA (UEFA are no better mind) haven't got the collective nous and personnel to implement and use it properly.

I will say it's going to ruin it. Linesmen have been instructed to keep their flags down for any offside that could be described as marginal. Expect every single goal to be reviewed.

 

Imagine shit like this including checking var to see if things are legit or not.

They'll still be playing the World Cup when our league season starts.

Aye, that’s the biggest bag of bollocks I’ve heard since VAR’s inception.

 

And there have been some massive bags of bollocks.

The liner at the other end could have given that offside.

Penalty given to France 7 years after the incident

It’s a fucking rank idea

 

Should have left it at goal line tech

 

Shambles

I haven't seen it (or any of the tournament as yet), but it is a poor idea

This is going to be like the Brexit debate

At least Brexit will have a happy ending!

Penalty given to France 7 years after the incident

it was the right decision though

I thought var was only meant to be implimented after a clear error by the officials?

I thought VAR would have ruled out Diego Costa’s first goal last night after he elbowed Pepe. I’m abroad at the moment so the commentary was in foreign, no idea if it was mentioned.

Pepe was being a diving tart there.

His arm went onto Pepe, but if VAR got involved it should only have been for Pepe play acting.

That’s true, but nine times out of ten, if you lead with your arm like that when you jump for the ball, it’s a foul.

Used sensibly just then in the Argentina v Iceland match

Sensibly or pointlessly?

Sensibly. Both looked contentious at first glance. Didn't break up the game either as the ball was out for a corner anyway

 

Loaded question though as you could argue it would be pointless if they don't change the decision every time

It’s a load of bollocks.

Var is a loada shite - Th'argies should have had a 2nd pen and the ref chose not even to look at it.

Still wide open to bent decisions imo.

England will come unstuck with Var YHIHF

It’s dog shit and will eventually kill the game we love.
