Lee Mason - VAR


Oh and if I hear the word 'consistency' mentioned one more time I'll knock every single tooth out my head with a claw hammer.
 
My first experience of it was World Cup and I thought it was just awful
I’m sure teams in premier league are getting used to it and maybe enjoying the anticipation of a decision
But the facts so far are that they are still getting decisions wrong
Fuck it off until technology properly catches up and every single decision can be analysed to the nth degree in a millisecond
I’ll be dead by that time so fuck it
 
Why don’t refs actually do their job right instead of pretending they’re in a pantomime? They then wouldn’t have all this hassle
 
'I'm a fan, of course I'm not going to be objective' is about the best you can hope from those people.

I don't mind that. I could show you half a dozen decisions that have gone against us this season where the reaction on our forum would have you pissing yourself.
 
Are there any statistics on errors in the VAR era compared to before?
People will say it's only improved it a certain percentage and it is. However there is a huge difference in the margin of error as it's not longer feet or even yards given incorrectly as on/offside and fans being well pissed off at officials for missing them. The linesman doesn't flag offside even after a goal if he can't be 100% sure. That's why there's fewer goals given onside when a lino has flagged but there seems to be more that are given offside yet the lino didn't flag.

I've just explained about the offside system in 2 huge posts and the first post tries to explain they already allow some margin to the attacker. For all the moaning, it's not exactly a toe nail offside in reality as there still allowing some margin but not enough. The 2nd post explains more about the semi-automated offsides and how they could at least eliminate incorrect offside completely and it would make it better in my opinion. It's not going away just because fans don't like it as there's too much money in the game now and the majority of fans would accept it's here to stay. Serie A just started using Semi-Automated offside a few weeks ago and will only grow and develop in time.


 
Over the course of the campaign, more than 2,400 incidents were checked and 109 decisions were overturned by the VAR, an average of one overturned decision every 3.5 matches.

I love your posts but I feel like I need to take a deep breath and strap myself in before I read them :lol:
