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.

Froggy Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Same VAR ref (Poulson) decided this wasn't a foul as well. Also cost us 2 points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyc35i Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I think it’s very useful for offside decisions as these are hard to call for linesman due to the speed of the game. But they need to improve how it’s used for that because it’s still not working like it should Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheating has become more prevelant, not less. Was actually quite refreshing watching the WC qualifiers without VAR, could watch the game properly then and celebrate a goal as it went in.

Yorkie Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 What's Jose's contract there? If we're taken over I'd love our new owners to go for him. It might be a disaster but I think it's time we saw him at a club not with realistic aspirations of being guaranteed a position among the elite. He might do great things with smaller expectations.
