Sky are getting stuck into VAR after a day of pretty shocking decisions. 

 

If you give a moron a computer, they're still a moron. The standard of officiating is the problem, not the technology.

It needs scrapping - Those in stockley park can turn a decision which ever way they want without accountability.  In a billion pound game that is far too much power for someone to have.

We've been shafted virtually every week this season now. Beyond a joke, Howe should walk the team off the pitch next time. Blatant corruption. That fat Phil Mitchell lookalike cunt on VAR today has done us multiple times before.

Were killing the moment of a goal and fannying on waiting for decisions for minutes mid-game to often still not get the right decision and not take away accusations of bias. Surely not worth the occasional decision it correctly overturns.

Its not like cricket or tennis where its yes its over the line, no it didn't touch the stumps - its still human error here, just a different longer way about it.

VAR equivalents work in Cricket and Tennis because they’re fast, take place in natural pauses in play and they get the decisions right every time. VAR in football takes an age, gets decision just as wrong and there’s no accountability. Id sack it all off but we’d still be left with the incompetent fucks we have at the moment who invariably gift big decisions to the top six

The most annoying thing is that you know its not the last time we'll get shafted out of points this season. There's now been a dubious decision in every match other than Forest. I can just about accept Wilson's high boot, but the rest are questionable.

Mad that anyone thought VAR would be anything other than a disaster

 

It's literally just another referee's opinion judging another referee

 

Well yes, but having a slow motion replay from various angles gives that ref a significant advantage (in theory)

Slow motion replays also hinders it because every tackle looks really late and dangerous in slow motion and every handball looks deliberate in slo-mo

In those sports there's a conclusive outcome that's not open to interpretation. In tennis, it's whether the ball's in or out. In cricket it's where it's pitching and whether there's been a nick. The technology's there to definitively identify those outcomes (admittedly it can be hard to determine if fingers are under the ball making a catch).

 

With football, as is said above, it's just getting a second, overriding opinion.

What did they say? Did they say much specifically about our disallowed goal?

 

 

 


On the US coverage they dedicated about 10 seconds to our VAR decision. Very quickly glossing over it not even mentioning that it was contentious.

There was absolutely no interpretation needed.  Everyone and I mean everyone, including the Crystal Palace fans saw a foul on Willock.  So it's either a penalty or a goal.  How can two qualified officials get it so MASSIVELY wrong?

They work because they are black or white - the ball is in or it isn't. Goalline technology works because there are no grey areas.

 

In cricket the "is it a catch or isn't it?" calls can be controversial because someone looking at a monitor needs to use their judgement and there's an opinion element to it.

That was the point I was making, the issue is with the refs but all that VAR is doing currently is adding in extra time to games and taking away immediate enjoyment regarding goals. They can’t even get offsides right. If you can’t get an offside right, what’s the point

See my post above.  The non goal couldn't be anymore black and white.  Just crap officials that will still be plying their trade next week with no repercussions.
