The Prophet Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Nothing wrong with the technology, it's the way they're using it. I was under the impression it was to check clear and obvious errors, not borderline offside calls. Also, giving the decision to the referee when to review and when to stick/overturn just means there's as much human error as ever. It's also been compounded by the ridiculous hand ball rules they've brought in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 PAE's goal is why we have VAR. The game's challenge is not all errors are so clear and obvious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 PAE's goal is why we have VAR. The game's challenge is not all errors are so clear and obvious. That goal counts with or without VAR imo. I bet the lino wouldn't have even raised his flag in the pre-VAR era. You might as well do these days, though, because the technology will overturn any wrong decision. Takes the pressure off, I suppose. Seems a heavy price to pay though, if the benefits of the system are revealed so infrequently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to keep it down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAR would surely encourage him not to raise the flag if anything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some borderline calls being given, others not. Decisions are as inconsistent as ever. Right call on the PAE goal at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me an acronym Nazi, but I don't need to wake up to this What are you people doing? Pierre-Abble Ebbleboomerang or something?

Probably the worst game Friend has had. I reckon Young could have been sent off as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
