St. Maximin Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Yes But the point still stands in general. I just think it's a shame we've lost that rapturousness on certain occasions. Which is not necessarily to say I don't want VAR in the game. I miss the rapturousness and would love them to get rid of VAR permanently At present the cons badly outweigh the pros, but I think with a serious look at the protocols, which includes getting rid of stupid marginal overturns because an elbow was offside or the like, far fewer goals would be reviewed and therefore fans can celebrate with more confidence. If a goal gets fairly chalked off for a clear foul or offside, so be it. At least it would be fair and proves setting up an offside trap is worth the risk etc. Disallowed goals aren’t a new thing but I appreciate it would be nice if we saw fewer of them.

I agree that currently it's watering down, stealing even, what I consider the most important aspects of football. For me football is a game of passion, the moment, the instinct, emotions. Without those I'm not terribly interested in the rest - stats (especially not shite like XG and out-of-game analysis), possession, tactics etc. I love the buzz of seeing the ball going in, the keeper pulling off an incredible save, a beautiful pass, a full-blooded tackle. For me VAR has diluted certain aspects of the game I've treasured since being a kid, the things that have kept me engaged with the game all my life, and it's also not eradicated mistakes entirely. It's been around long enough now to make a fair call on it, and I'd lean towards getting rid but would be open to a change in approach and use of it.

Happinesstan Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 If you remove all the shite, and make it more in line with it's name [i'm guessing it is Video Assisted Referee] then it would be alright, but it wouldn't be anywhere near the technical advancement it claims to be. Why pay the inventors millions for what Gary and Jamie have been doing, in the studio, for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
