Still laughing at the 1 minute added time yesterday. 2 long VAR checks, a red card, a substiute, Ipswich keeper and defence taking ages on every goal kick (with the ref even telling them to hurry up)

 

Getting a penalty at the end of the half meant the added time was brushed over but what an absolute clusterfuck

 

Whos job is it to calculate it? Is it all on the ref? Maybe the 4th official or someone else should do it, because sometimes the refs has no clue at all, almost as if they are not even using their stop watch.

It was so fucking egregious too. What’s the point of linesmen if they’re not pulling that basic stuff up?

Exactly, mate

I didn't notice it from my position but he was definitely taking ages to release it

 

Interesting to see how enforced the new rule change will be from next season 

 

Like all new rules, enforced to the letter of the law till September, forgotten by May

I’d be spitting blood at that referee display if I were an Ipswich supporter 

Another telling sign of how shit he was when both sets of fans call him shit. 

[Pilko]

Another howler. Ridiculous VAR red for Evanilson when he slips.

 

Refs deserve all the abuse and shit they get, the standard is an absolute disgrace.

[Tsunami]

That’s just bollocks. Referees really need to challenge VAR at times like this.

[The Prophet]

Honestly what's the point in VAR? Shite decisions week after week.

Corruption in plain sight mate

Ridiculous that we’ve got to a situation where a ref makes a correct decision, the VAR tells him it’s wrong, he goes to screen but doesn’t have have the bottle to stick to his correct decision, so amends to a wrong decision, all for it to then be decided he was actually right in the first place.

It is a joke, anyone with half a brain can see what has happened. Two officials have managed to convince the ref that he was wrong. Again I would love to have heard the audio on this one. I have no sympathy for the ref he should have had the balls to disagree with VAR.

Going to the screen has become a complete waste of time. It’s literally just pantomime entertainment that slows the game down for another couple of minutes (at least).

 

Either referees need to start developing the confidence to stay with their original decision (where appropriate obviously) or just scrap it and go with what the VAR decides, and if it’s wrong it’s on them.

[Tisd09]

Transparency would help as well. 

 

Did they even acknowledge the slip for example. 

 

I know rugby is a different sport but there are some very subjective calls to make on head shots these days. Often you'll see the on field officials and TMO discuss various factors, this would be a classic case of it looks bad but there are mitigating factors. They don't always get it right of course but the transparency helps IMO.

Man Utd get the helping hand they needed and Bournemouth aren’t inconvenienced for the next three games.

 

Everyone wins (sort of).

This is where it’s all wrong with VAR and where Rugby Union are way ahead - the dialogue is completely wrong.

 

The ref must always be in control - if this is rugby, VAR says look at the screen and the incident is replayed back from the start - from there on in the ref is in charge of what he wants to see  - VAR stay quiet and don’t interfere - ref sees the slip - we move on 

 

2 examples where VAR is a joke in football 

 

Evanilson - first thing ref is shown is the scissor motion - not how he got there 

 

Joe Willock v Palace (a few years back) - ref is shown Willock going into keeper - isn’t shown Mitchell pushing him in the back

 

In 2 years we have the same problems still - refs need to grow a pair to and ask to see incidents from start to finish - not the end action first
