VARguments

Currently watching MOTD. And guess what? EVERY time a goal was scored, the crowds celebrated as normal.

Almost as if the "You CaNt CeLeBrAtE a GoAl AnYmOrE" brigade are just a bunch of dramatic gimps. #var

That disallowed goal for City was a disgrace
For me that’s why it should be scrapped

Exactly. We’ve got to a point where bureaucrats (and some ex players) are shouting about how great the technology is and what it can do etc etc - but if it’s picking things up the players can’t control,or the refs can’t ever see (the 0.01mm offside issue or the brush against someone’s arm) then it’s not what is needed. Turn it off, close down the VAR vans or whatever they are called and restore some common sense please. Would also save however much Alan shearer is coIning in from being the VAR ambassador for the premier league which again is just a complete nonsense.

So why wasn't VAR used fir the Man City pen when Sterling was grappled to the floor
Also bet the " handball " incident wouldn't have resulted in a pen if it had been the other way round

When accidental handball leads to a goal, it has to be disallowed, however unless the defenders arms was in an unnatural position or making himself bigger then your right, a penalty wouldn’t have been given.

As for the Rodri challenge, the VAR bottled it. But then again, Oliver should have awarded it first. Both should take responsibility for that shite decision to not give a penalty
 
In 5 years time we will wonder what we did without it, and how silly we were asking officials to use the same tools there had a 100 years ago just their eyes.

It is clear as day officials need help.

Its 2 games in. Wait till each set of fans have been stung with it a couple of times. It will have a big effect.

People on here championing it are just trying to be alternative, cool or controversial.

It's clear that 99% of normal people think its utter shite
 
I’m old school and hate everything about it, can’t go mental for a goal as you have to keep one eye on the ref.

I like the debate after games about how shite the ref was, did he didn’t he get the decision right.

Also with the handball rule, what’s stopping an attacker flicking the ball up onto the defenders arm for a pen?

Fans were stung all the time anyway with mistakes by refs, VAR is actually making that happen less!

It’s clear to anyone with a grain of common sense the human eye alone is not enough to keep upwith the modern day pace of football and cheating.

Anyone who says otherwise is deluding themselves all evidence shows refs need help.

It’s not trying to be cool at all or controversial it’s just common sense that with VAR you will get less injustices than you did before it.

Every other sport and industry has moved on, apart from football.

By the way, the City goal was right to be chalked off. It's football, not handball for fucks sake.

People just hate change.

As has already been said, if it had hit the defenders arm (which it may have) rather than the attacker then a penalty would not have been given, is that fair?

The fact that it wouldn't be awarded as it wouldn't be considered handball.

Yes it is. I don't see the problem with the two being different.
