VAR

[Simon]

Interesting to see the championship have voted against having VAR in the league next season.

That was only going to be a challenge system rather than full VAR. Probably a good thing but would've been interesting to see if the challenge system was better.

Same refs controlling it though so probably not!

[Paplane]

Its so refreshing seeing a goal scored and that being that, no VAR bollocks to spoil the moment.

VAR worked well with a review system in tennis and cricket.

Would add some interesting jeopardy in making the team use their appeal wisely, would have liked to see that given a trial.

That said I like being able to watch and know a goal is a goal.

The issue with the system suggested is that there would actually be more stoppages than there are currently with 2 challenges per game, more than that if those challenges are successful. Each time the ref would go to the monitor unlike with VAR.
you can already see how it would be used tactically to get a break in play much like the goal keeper feigning injury (Dubravka did that on sunday, not that it did him much good)

Well done to the Championship rejecting it. Think there is possibly an idea in there if it could refined a bit. Unfortunately the mess we have in the PL isn’t going away soon but it’s absolutely shocking.

[stirred]

Absolutely hate this filth. Get it gone.

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.

That Bournemouth disallowed goal last night was tighter than a nun's cuff. The trouble with offsides and VAR is that fans want there to be some interpretation & reasonableness allowed in the decisions, whereas the rule is binary, it's either offside or it's not.

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

Of course they do.

Rugby Union had the same issues with their adjudications - they tweaked they way things were done and everything works fine.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with VAR technology; its the idiots who make the decisions.

Clear and obvious should not mean drawing lines across a pitch to see if someone is offside.

Correcting clear and obvious mistakes should take no longer than it does for the players to celebrate a goal.

VAR is being mismanaged by PMGOL who are using it as an insurance policy for their members getting decisions wrong.

Take it away from them and give it to an independent body and you see the improvement.

I completely get that the spectators do not like it, well, the current iteration of it, but the alternative is going back to wrong decisions being made on a constant basis, and trail by TV.

And that does not bear thinking about because that would be heavily skewed in favour of the top clubs.

[Sausage Roll]

Agree 100% with that JCK.
