VARguments

[stephen cartwright]

I like VAR, the more it’s used

I won’t be persuaded otherwise. The problem is English officials and their incompetence, which was shown clearly when none were deemed qualified to ref at the last World Cup

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.

I think it will get there. It was never going to be perfect immediately

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?

Don’t know if that’s worked but I clearly do. I’d rather goals we scored and conceded stood because they were legal, than because they were awarded quickly.

 

[viccarlton]

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.

30 seconds?

 

[bernardbresslaw]

Which is still my single biggest issue with it.

And mine. Those have been my best times at football - and christ knows they've been few & far between supporting these bastards.
They take that away and they take the reason for going in my book.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

For those who hate it, would you have not preferred it for the Luton penalty?

 

[AC Mack]

It doesn’t though because when a goal goes in, you celebrate regardless.

You have to think if that was us who conceded, would you be happy for it to stand even though it’s offside, because it would’ve taken 30 seconds to check?

Football is about passion and emotion of the fans. It's the single biggest aspect of the game.

Well I wouldn't.

I don't want it at all. Goal-line technology yes, but what's the point of VAR if half the people still think they got it wrong?

 

[penno13]

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

This is the outcome of using the shit!
I f ucking deteste it, hopefully it’s been fucked off by the time we get back to the premier

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Well I wouldn't.

But that’s where you set the boundaries of what constitutes a “challenge”

I’d have it for stuff that is absolute anyway, goal line technology and offsides. You can measure that, technically instantly.

Just cos it’s not instant now, doesn’t mean it couldn’t be

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

Well I wouldn't.

Well I hope we never miss out on something because of a refereeing fuck up.

I know they probably won’t have it in league 1 for a long time, but how many points have been lost this season due to refereeing incompetence? We’d probably be well clear at the top.

If it's not instant don't use it?

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

If it's not instant don't use it?

Not sure to be honest.

I can see why you hate it, and i think it’s bullshit for subjective decisions

Surely someone has invented some software that can laser map the pitch and work out if it’s offside or not.

I agree it’s not perfect and that it does take a bit out of the enjoyment in the teething phase, but as it gets used more it’ll get better and with so much riding on decisions nowadays things have to be right, not quick.

 

[stephen cartwright]

If it's not instant don't use it?

Just wondering what you think of the average 30 mins of every single game when nothing is happening?

 

[James]

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



Why, it was the correct decision.

You'll be stopping the game after every goal if it's being used for decisions where there's millimeters in it. That was never the point of VAR and not what it should be used for.

But we've been discussing it ten years.

Clattenburg was due to go to the World Cup but then decided to take the Saudi cash instead.

 

[sksk3021]

Goal line technology is ok as it's instant and a matter of fact, if they can get something similar for offside fair enough, should never be used for anything subjective imo.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Yeah, but it’s still being trialled
