I was at the London Stadium when it took forever to review the Jordan Ayew goal, was I bothered? Nope because I knew they would come to the right decision. I was more annoyed after the Liverpool and Arsenal games when I saw decisions that hadn't been reviewed which really should have been. This must be impossible though because every goal is tainted and everyone hates it. Or so I’ve been told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youve been told by people on here that they dont like VAR, you've been told by people you know that they like VAR. One set of fans isnt more important than the other remember!

It's unfortunately just being implemented poorly in this country. Why is the ref not allowed to go to the touch line? Why do the people reviewing the incidents not know the rules? Why is everything being reviewed and not clear and obvious errors? Once these get addressed it will be fine. It's worked well overseas and in the world cup. It can work well here. I'd suggest that over two thirds of the people that complain about VAR are the type of fans that moan about change. I was at the London Stadium when it took forever to review the Jordan Ayew goal, was I bothered? Nope because I knew they would come to the right decision. I was more annoyed after the Liverpool and Arsenal games when I saw decisions that hadn't been reviewed which really should have been. I dont mind change. In my job over the years change has made things much safer for everyone involved. I do mind change though when it's for the worse, when it starts damaging things. That's what VAR has done to football in this country so far. I dont think anyone can deny that. I'm not blaming the actual technology, I'm blaming the knobheads who are sat behind the screens in charge of it. I mean, what chance has it got when they cant even get offside decisions right? The referees in this country are diabolical, always have been. That isnt going to change because it's how they are taught. So how do you suggest VAR will make anything any better with those dullards operating it? All it's doing is making things worse by highlighting their dullardness.

You shouldn't have to sound off everytime it works, because that's what it's there for. It's not there to continuously get things wrong wich brings it to peoples attention. Read my post above. How can it be improved when the people operating VAR aren't even capable of buttering a slice of toast? My questions are this... Were things SO bad before VAR and has it improved the things that were SO bad? Is it really needed? My honest answer mate to those three questions are no.

As you say, easy in hindsight, but have you seen who is the head of the referee department in this country? It's all well and good people like you and deadlinesman saying the people need to change or the standard of teaching needs to improve but it hasn't for years and years so what makes you think it will now? All VAR has achieved is to cause more controversy and I dont see that changing anytime soon, not while our standard of referees are controlling it.

LFCMadLad 2,080 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 VAR reps have apparently just said that Southampton's goal today should have been ruled out for handball but they didnt get to see the footage until 10 minutes after it happened.

The replay also clearly shows that their goalscorer elbows VVD in the ribs. Still the fucking thick cunts get it wrong and allow the goal. I mean, I dont know how much more evidence you VAR fanboys need before you except its shit? That's my last word on it seriously, because it's becoming tedious now. 4 hours ago, LFCMadLad said: VAR reps have apparently just said that Southampton's goal today should have been ruled out for handball but they didnt get to see the footage until 10 minutes after it happened.

Honey Honey 3,767 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 The trick to avoiding VAR is to stay out of the oppositions final third. We haven't been shafted yet 14 games in so I don't know what all the fuss is about. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I said this before but with var a lot of it is about how much it is affecting your enjoyment of the game I think. For @LFCMadLad it clearly is. If he can't enjoy goals because he is worried it will be disaload of course he is gonna hate var. Where as me and @Stan and @DeadLinesman don't have that problem so we are more patient. There's not really a right or wrong answer it just depends how you react.

LFCMadLad 2,080 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Mings has just said that his goal celebrations against Utd at Old Trafford were somewhat ruined because he knew that VAR might rule it out, despite it being a perfectly legitimate goal. The game as we knew it is finished! That's the last I'm saying on the matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llabtooF 2 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I checked on the rules of the game as to why the offside rule was introduced in football in the first place? The answer given is: The offside rule exists to stop goal hanging, where a player stands next to the opposing teams goal keeper in the hope that someone can get the ball to him (probably using a long ball), so he can get it past the goal keeper. It begs me to ask as to the number of goals being disallowed since the introduction of the VAR by an arm pit or even less. Surely common sense has to prevail to this recently created problem and start giving advantage to the attacking team in such close calls, after all the attacking players are not hanging around goalkeepers waiting for a mate to boot the ball long to them. Personally I yearn for the days of pre VAR. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
