Infinitely Content Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Can't see how that's fair like. The rules should be the same for everyone. Interpretation of rules seem to change from game to game, and from ref to ref anyway, so I don't think it particularly matters that VAR will be used in some games and not others. If anything it will help to show how glaringly necessary it is, and how the games it will be used in will be more enjoyable knowing more correct decisions are being made.

SteV Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Let's hope they make a better fist of it than the absolute shambles that took place in the FA Cup last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Can't see how that's fair like. The rules should be the same for everyone. Yep - bollocks that - it has to be the same for every match in the competition - I said the same last week about it being used only for Premier League ground-held League Cups ties - shite!

Dave Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Unless they use it for every match one weekend, but even then the fixture list will obviously mean it's inherently different for each club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Its not going to be used to affect actual decisions during this trial. They’re just doing it to get used to the logistics of monitoring all the 3pm games in the same place in preparation for next season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Australia had VAR last season, and it was woeful - in the news almost weekly because of some bad call or another. First week of the new season, and an outrageous decision is made. Enjoy Mark Bosnich ranting about how appalling Australia is doing VAR (coked up, judging by his near-hysteria): https://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/video/1348902467958/bosnich-launches-half-time-var-tirade?playlist= (Link includes footage of the penalty. Just, wow). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Unless they use it for every match one weekend, but even then the fixture list will obviously mean it's inherently different for each club. Don't suppose it's any different for when they use it for certain cup games, but not all the games for whatever round it is. I guess points are at stake mind in the league, can of worms if that happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsprillasShinPad Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Really don't get how VAR can be implemented in anything other than a positive manner. Video assistants have been wildly successful in almost every other major sport. It can't be that hard to look at how it's been done elsewhere and take those models forward. Although on the other hand, football referees are so ball-shrinkingly poor across the board, if FIFA/UEFA/The FA can't even get some referees who aren't comically incompetent and/or manifestly bent, then there is no hope for anything other than free penalties for 'Big' clubs for ever more.

Not saying that two wrongs make a right, but it's the same with Goal Line Technology I suppose. Anyway, good-ish news I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_NUFC Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 FINALLY. Fabulous news. We finally may start getting some decisions in our favour, after suffering for decades. Having said that, people need to be patient. I'm sure the naysayers will be in full-force at the beginning, holding up the initial jitters with the new process and tech like Luddites hellbent on destroying machines. We need to give VAR time, and deal with all its inherent issues that will surface right away, and refine it over the years so that it works seamlessly and flawlessly. But this will take time, I just hope patience is something that's implemented along with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Aye. It's definitely going to be shite for at least a year. Maybe 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 It was good in the WC, a few absolute howlers aside. But what makes me sceptical is our shite refs: when it was trialled in the FA Cup last season it was absolutely awful. The Liverpool v West Brom comes to mind where there was up to 10 minutes of stoppage in the first half alone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
