Pokerprince2004 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Just seen Arsenals winner wow that should 100% be have been given as a handball by Jesus pretty shocking decision in my opinion.

Its also why the ref has his stinking arm up in the air. In fact, I don't want to see anyone posting here unless they've done the FA LAWS OF THE GAME and contacted their local county FA to take the ref course. https://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules Edited May 20 by OCK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bastard.' No time for proper consideration when there's outrage to be had! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohmelads Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) 3 hours ago, Erikse said: That's because you remember all the mistakes and forget about it everytime they overturn something obvious from incorrect to correct. I also don't walk around remembering all the correct things that VAR do, that isn't normal. What is normal is to talk about the mistakes, because every mistake that VAR does gets a bunch of attention. Because of this it feels like there isn't an improvement on the rate of mistakes, but it is. And it's significant. For example, anytime VAR makes a mistake, it's very rarely the correct decision to begin with anyways (contrary to what you're saying). It's usually because they don't think it's a clear and obvious error. I'm sure you can refer to some instances where they might have overturned a correct decision, but there are not many examples of that. Typically we happen to remember some of the few that actually happened, like the PSG game. We don't remember the all the instances where they overturn something incorrect, which is way more frequent. Because that is an expectation, as it should be. You have a point, but I think referees are letting more things go because they know the VAR is there. It's impossible to prove this, but I think it's only human nature that they would ref a game differently with VAR than without. He lets it go and VAR intervenes and chalks it off as a success. What we are also seeing, I believe, is cases where a ref has a gut feeling but lets play go on feeling the VAR has his back, only to be let down by a shocking non-intervention (e.g. the Gordon pen). We then have these pointless "independent panels" who tell everyone there is nothing to see here; we are told arbitrary stats that it is 96% correct (an absurd claim); we have ex-referees tying themselves in knots defending the worst VAR decisions. All of that only undermines VAR and the credibility of those paid off to defend the indefensible, and I think is part of the reason why it isn't getting better.

80 Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 According to that article, we're one of the clubs voting to keep VAR. Considering Howe has been pretty explicit that he doesn't like it, I'd be interested to know who is pushing that line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KetsbaiaIsBald Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 (edited) 25 minutes ago, Nobody said: Wolves the only club that voted in favour of scrapping VAR Happy with this. Var is not the issue. The quality of implementation is. The premier league is rich. I would still love every game to have 3 separate VAR teams. They can't hear each other. A decision is only overruled if 2 out of three agree in a time limit. Human error will always occur. There will always be disagreements. So minimise that using consensus. If you wanted to go mad have 5 teams and 3 must agree. In reality this will never happen. There are not enough competent people to do 1 team per game. But I'm convinced, in my own mind at least, that this would improve accuracy. It would be a fun exercise. Edited June 6 by KetsbaiaIsBald Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, VAR is definitely THE problem. I would absolutely prefer the 82% of decisions being correct with no VAR than 96% with VAR and all the bullshit that comes with it.

KetsbaiaIsBald Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Var is marmite. I just want to believe it can become better. I get why people hate it though. They’re/you’re not wrong. My bias is towards accuracy of decisions. I think we need to feel some pain now to iterate to a place where it 100% improves the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 again - its not VAR. its the dopy cunts in the control room. fucking looking for anything to overturn an onfield decision. and looking at millimetres to call an offside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
