OK then. I sense sarcasm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A complete and utter fuck-up of a situation. Got to be a straight red if he’s saying it’s a foul. Not saying it is or isn’t, just saying they have given half a decision.

duo Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 When with the Premier League do something about VAR? It will drive people away from the game as it's ruining the enjoyment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no denying he got a hand or finger in the face He didn’t cheat, he just followed the football convention of making every physical contact out to be much worse than it is. Still not his fault overall, VAR should have made a different call. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foluwashola Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Bar a few absolute roasters in the press I'm unaware of any football person actually thinking VAR has improved the sport. Got to hope there's some serious discussions in the summer. Could do with it turning the Euros final into a farce or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Mourinho and Spurs genuinely sicken me now. Don't forget what Martial was sent off for in the game earlier in the season while Lamela got off with nothing. Two really, really poor VAR decisions which could be the difference in 4-6 points.

Neil Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 The bottom line with VAR for me isn't so much about the game delays, the removal of in-the-moment excitement (which of course is still a huge factor). it's the fact I feel like we're still not coming to the right decision, and it's only serving to hold a huge magnifying glass over how bad the decisions are. Like most I was happy to give it a go but in its current format it quite simply cannot continue. Cliche but it's true - it's killing the game.

Tiresias Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I don't actually have a huge problem with VAR being used for that, for consistency I just think it is generally being over used. I don't think it's VAR's fault either that the ref couldn't see that was accidental conduct that didn't impede Son who was clearly trying to buy it. It feels like refs feel like there are hundreds of fouls going on at all times and so when VAR comes along they are always obligated to give them. However I feel if VAR is there for anything it is to check game changing moments like fouls that might be missed. If the ref didn't see it checking it feels within the spirit. How the VAR ref didn't take one look at it and tell the ref on pitch 'nothing in it' and that be the end of it I will never know. VAR was wanted because of refs missing things or getting it glaringly wrong, not because every minor coming together needed 5 minutes of contemplation.
