VARguments

Why? Perfectly good decision. I don’t understand what the commentator is twisting about, unless he’s got a bet on Derby.

The right decision has been found. Better to wait 30 seconds than a team get a goal wrongly allowed.

Utter shite for proper fans at the game - you obviously don't go.
VAR is for when there's been an obvious error - how was that obvious?

 

[Reiver]

Dreadful.

GOAL!!!!!

But let's not celebrate for a couple of minutes while they debate it

"Yes its a goal. "

Right, we're winning ... lets go crazy.

The raw emotion of football will disappear completely. It will ruin football.

That is what football is all about. Well said marra

 

[bernardbresslaw]

Exactly.

Fuck the correct decision, it will kill football.
The ref got everyone lined up to kick off then went to VAR??

Dreadful.

GOAL!!!!!

But let's not celebrate for a couple of minutes while they debate it

Yeah but it's better for neutrals watching on their settee - cos that's all that matters.

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

You can’t just have “clear and obvious errors” though.

Imagine if Luton conceded and it was ruled out by VAR because it was clear and obvious. We conceded and it wasnt ruled out because it wasn’t clear and obvious, although it was offside. Luton go up automatically, we miss out by a goal and then lose in the play-offs.

Much better that the decision is correct than quick.

If they want the goal to stand, don’t be offside.

 

[Butcher's Coat]

Offside again?

But that’s bad application of it surely? The technology will continue to improve anyway, goal line technology is instant for example

It's terrible for the fans at the game, probably decent for tv.

 

[Brainman]

Definitely wasn't a clear and obvious mistake.
There should be a referee's decision option, as in cricket, when it's so close.

 

[Occam's Razor]

Absolutely hate it. It's one of many things killing the game, but the relentless will of the majority is inevitably going to prevail.

Fuck VAR.

 

[Esh]

Why did he decide to review if he gave the goal and lined everyone back up? Also, was the ref 100% certain that the ball had definitely left the player who passed the ball before waghorn was offside?

 

[DH1]

Shearer can fuck off narl. Who the fucks vaghorn anarl.

Shouldn't have been used there. That is exactly the sort of example people talk about when they say it'll kill the game.

Why, it was the correct decision.

 

[Reiver]

The Southampton players & supporters didn't complain ...

... this is just officials wanting to prove that VAR is a wonderful innovation.

It's when they decide to use it that needs to change. If there's VAR at a game you will just sit there when Sunderland score until the goal is eventually given.

Anyway - they're arguing now that it wasn't offside so how was the correct decision made?

 

[AC Mack]

Haven’t seen this one. But as a system it’s gonna take time to perfect.

It will get way more decisions right than wrong

Ten years and counting...

It was a joke in the cup ties the other week. And yes I'm talking about VAR, not the refs.

 

[DH1]

About 4 other threads on it mate

Apparently not according to those in the studio?

 

[AC Mack]

You know when you go crackas when we score and you totally lose it? - well that will be a thing of the past.

Which is still my single biggest issue with it.

 

[Bob Gurney's Ghost]

Death of football

I’ve just seen it. It was a pathetic decision.

And a complete fuck up.

Remember that there will be examples where it has worked well tho
