VAR

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

Clear errors should be over turned within a matter of seconds.

If a review drags on for a number of minutes then how can that possibly be a clear error?

That's called nit picking.

That is the issue for me.

It’s morphed because these are subjective calls. Once a pen for example has been given that is a 50/50 call it sets precedent and the PGML want to be seen as consistent and fair so all 50/50 are then scrutinised. Then we get to the stage we are at now where every goal and every challenge in the box is at the whim of the VAR.

I think if VAR can't decide within 30 seconds then on field decision.

And off topic, but the same with corners and free kicks. Take a corner/free kick within 30 seconds of it being awarded. Remember the 6-second throw-in rule, for which a Forest player got a yellow card away at Palace? Seems to have been forgotten.

Make VAR time limited.

VAR protects the Big6 here. In Scotland it protects Celtic.

Absolutely, the last 2 game-weeks have been a shambles. Hearts denied 2 obvious pens and then Celtic get a penalty for a clear header which may have graced a finger.

Make VAR time limited.

Indeed, akin to Rugby where its used well, "is there any conclusive reason why i cant give the try" (the goal etc) 

If you cant get an answer after 2 mins, its on field decision.

Most will ignore this one because its Scotland but good to see the anger is gaining momentum.
Rightly being called one of the worst, if not the worst VAR decision ever.

This is a just a terrible system ruining our game. Those of you that defend it may change your tune if one day a big call decides if Forest miss out on a trophy or indeed end up being relegated. I can accept an on field referee missing something marginal in real time. What is totally unacceptable is a bloke in a box 50 miles away making a subjective decision that ultimately decides who wins the league. Total farce taking away the whole meaning of a sporting competition.

VaR / the officials decide who wins trophies and get relegated. It’s that much of a difference.

It won’t make Burnley win the league, but as we saw with West Ham’s goal, it will decide whether Arsenal or Man City win it.

And as we also saw with the disallowed Leeds goal against Spurs when they decided to freeze offside at one frame rather than the other, it decides whether Spurs or West Ham go down. 

It’s not just that officials need to make close calls, it was ever thus. It’s that something has happened to the decision making, there’s clear biases going on, and VaR was meant to fix that and it just isn’t.

I am in favour of foreign refs and VAR officials in the PL.

They have them in Greece for big games and it works.
