VAR

[Fumanchew]

Theres nothing wrong with VAR, its the poeple who administer it that are the problem.

VAR is there, primarily, to correct clear and obvious errors.

If it takes more than a few seconds to reach a conclusion it cannot possibly be a clear and obvious error.

The problem is that the terms of reference allow the reviews to extend beyond the clear and obvious and include potential offences in the build up; that is exacerbating the situation.

And there are some aspects of the rules which will still create issues whether VAR is scrapped or not; the Offside rule being the main one.

Profoundly disagree with that. Everything is wrong with VAR because it simply does not work in football.

Football is a spectator event and the crowd are part of it like no other sport. Goals trigger an emotional response that is unique in any sport. Because of that when you have a situation when you don’t know whether a goal has been scored and is going to be given you are taking away the very essence of the event.

I wish authorities would wake up to why VAR is so unpopular.

Aren’t all sports spectator events? Do these things not happen in the NFL or during the tennis? I’d rather just the challenge surely for the stuff like boly being sent off or the pennos that never werre against Everton? It would work or would you expect the manager to challenge every goal against just in case of a hint of handball
