wormy Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 What's the fucking point in standing there like a dunce waiting for the VAR's decision just to then decide you need to watch it yourself? To validate it yourself, should be like Cricket but this is how football do it. Anyways it was a pen, don't pull him and defend properly. I mean, I get why he wants to validate the opinion himself. But in a situation like that, surely he knows that's what he's probably going to want to do? So rather than stand around for fuck knows how long, just go straight to the sideline and watch it.

sbnufc Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I'm all for VAR and like it but that did take way too long Just let the refs who view the replays have the final decision. That gets rid of the faff of the actual ref going over to watch it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Turning the best sport in the world into rugby. What a joke. The best sport in the world gives a goal which was offside. f*** all this bollocks with taking talking points out of the game etc, if it's getting the right decisions then great. We'd be foaming if we were on the wrong end of those Liverpool decisions for example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you, i'd let the ref with Vars decide to cut the time waiting. You need a big screen up for the fans to see what's happening like you get in Cricket, everyone knows what's going on then.

Guest Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 It'll take some getting used to and they'll figure out ways of shortening the process with experience, but I don't see how getting the right decision can in any way be a bad thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 End of the day the decision were right, you just need to smooth out the way you get there with Vars, it was always going to be trial and error to begin with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 It's absolute nonsense man. You can't just correct 'game-changing' decisions. Every single action and motion in a football match is potentially gamechanging. If you start correcting 'big' decisions it just creates a new unfairness at the numerous small, cumulative decisions in a game. Each and every one of them that could directly or indirectly lead to a team scoring a goal or winning a game. The whole idea is completely and utterly flawed at a fundamental level due to the flowing nature of the sport. And in enforcing it you force the game to be stopped endlessly contributing to the destruction of the aspect of the game that makes it 10 times more exciting than every other shite sport that nobody watches.

But Liverpool would be 1-3 down due to a missed offside and missed foul in the box, those aren't small decisions in games, they're the very reasons it's been brought in to stop the unfairness. Totally agree about the flow of the game mind, they need to tune Vars up in that respect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 A small foul might lead to a change of possession that 2 minutes later leads to a goal for a team, it won't get reviewed due to the 'small' nature of the foul but it's impact on the game has indirectly led to a goal. Every small incremental thing that happens in football is potentially equally as important as every 'big' thing. There is no hierarchy. You can't just start correcting and tampering with 'big' decisions, because it's a slippery slope to either messing with everything or simply creating new unfairness due to the selective decisions you're reversing. It's fundamentally broken as a concept for this reason. That's before you even get onto time stoppages and the fact that 50% of the reversed decisions remain debatable anyway.
