Bimpy474 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Sewelly makes really good points about how smaller decisions are game-changing decisions too as well as bigger decisions because the game is constantly flowing. You can't just ignore the smaller decisions so if VAR comes in place surely it should be looking at every decision in the match. Which would be torturous You do in Rugby League which is a rapid fast flowing sport, as it is without rucks and mauls, and it's no worse for it. Even if the ref gets decisions wrong, as in offside or knock ons. Those decisions stay as they are, no need for Football to be any different imo. Isn't that a bit daft though. Bring it in for some decisions but not others.? Not really when you watch it, it's a different sport but the premise of the smaller decisions is valid when you watch a Rugby League match, you never really notice. With Vars it's never going to be liked by some, and this is what ? the 6th match used in this country. If they can iron out the delay in decisions and get it right i don't see why it can't be a success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I don't think it will be a success unless they analyse every single slightly controversial decision in every match. Which would severely disrupt any flow the game has Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted this before, whenever I watch rugby league it seems like every single try is reviewed. It's almost like a feature on Sky. Don't watch loads, maybe it's just a coincidence. There are a few a match tbf, but in Rugby League you get a lot of tries a game, far more that goals in a football match on average, so that skews it a tad.

ponsaelius Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Unless it's a completely computerised system that can instantly decide every decision immediately, and we can do away with referees altogether, then it's a fundamentally flawed concept.

ohmelads Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I'd eliminate the whole idea of the ref leaving the field at any point or seeing any replays because it takes ages. It should just be an earpiece and another ref advising him if he's making a clear and obvious error. That'll eliminate the most blatant f*ck ups but not all. I think the pen was far from clear and obvious and wasted time. If Firmino had scored it and it affected the result, there'd have been a lot of complaints.

Is there anything more flawed than a human being ? i suppose that's why Vars has been brought in, marmite this Vars is going to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 It’s just absolutely gash. I’d rather have the incorrect decisions then have to wait around for 3 minutes to find out what actually happened. The reason it works in games like cricket and rugby is because they are shit, slow and boring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAR is not competing with perfection, it's competing with a very flawed system which sees a decision made wrongly what seems like weekly in the Premier League alone. If they can make the call quick enough and communicate to the referee it's welcome imo. When the ref has to stand there waiting, before running across to the touchline to check it himself, that's not great I agree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 think it should be that each manager is allowed a max of 3 VAR reviews a game - max 2 per half. so its not up to the ref, rather the managers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the goal was allowed, it’d have been 3-1 and there is no way to determine what would have followed that. Hardly ‘dead and buried’ as the game was 3-1 at one stage anyway.
