RoyMac5 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 No thanks. Just more 'referees' to get it wrong. Why can't there be more 'electronic' line judges, why only goal-line tech? Stick with tech for yes/no decisions for me. Mihangel and Rammy03 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong decisions need eradicating. If wrong decisions are eradicated at pitch level then VAR not needed. But it will ALWAYS come down to interpretation (on the pitch or otherwise). VAR is just another level of interpretation and just provides more for the TV people to talk about - keeps them in a job!

Wolfie20 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I've said previously that in principle there's nothing wrong with VAR - the problem lies in interpretating what the cameras show. Until the standard of officiating drastically improves (and that includes the linos who are mostly pathetic), then too many VAR decisions will be wrong because they are being decided on by the same inept people.

Rambalin Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Wrong decisions are one of the things over the years that has driven the popularity of the game. Making for many friendships bought about debating the rights and wrongs of it. Chris Coles raised a theory yesterday that Prem refs dropping to the lower leagues are not making the big decisions because they are used not having too, due to var making them for them. It is a interesting theory to discuss RoyMac5 and Indy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where it is used, what I'd like is to hear the conversation (obviously not if you're at the ground) between the referee and the VAR team as they do in rugby union. If fact, why can't we hear all the conversations with the players again, as we do in Rugby? Indyram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the same reason it's recently been en vogue for the players to cover their mouths when they're talking to each other at the end of the game as if there's some lip reading spotters from MI5 sat in the stands with binoculars Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Need the players to all wake up one morning and decide never to deliberately and/or consciously cheat/simulate/feign injury their way through a match. Only then will VAR stand a chance of even a modicum of success. Indyram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuffLuff Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 To be honest I think decisions like yesterday show why VAR isn’t a good idea. An experienced ref who usually relies on someone giving him a get out of jail card, who as I said earlier actually did the right thing in taking his time, but ended up having to make a decision on the emotion of the game and got it wrong. He decided not to have to deal with the atmosphere the correct decision would have caused because he isnt used to having to make the decision without backing.

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 VAR is great If used in the right way. Each team can request 3 reviews per game. Likewise any diving for penalties should be a 15 minute sin bin rather than a yellow. Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yani P Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 VAR was originally supposed to stop obvious bad decisions. But when they decide someone is offside when a gonad has popped out at the wrong moment. That's just wrong (on many levels). Mucker1884 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a interesting theory to discuss Yesterdays official is a one of a kind, Dean thinks fans come to see him officiate, Prancing around then when questioned a shrug of the shoulders and a "what are you asking for" question on his mush. Officials what are they good for...absolutely nothing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
