VAR It starts tonight!

How far back will VAR checks go? If you score, but it turns out you won the ball illegally 15 seconds earlier, would it be ruled out?

And this won't stop "big club bias", it's still up to the ref whether to use VAR.
It will be shit.
 
Disagree, games should be decided by the mistakes of the players not the officials.......Many years ago Scarborough played Chelsea in the FA Cup at home. They were losing 1-0 with 5 mins to go when the ball rolled down the Chelsea defenders arm which was in the air at the time....The penalty was not given. Had the game been drawn the replay would have gone to Stamford Bridge, would have been televised with a shared gate and the entire debts of Scarborough would have been wiped out on the back of that one decision/penalty. .

About 2 years later the club went bankrupt for around £1 million and 125 years of history went to the wall.

While an extreme example, no way should games with such massive implications be allowed to be decided by human error where the technology is available and workingin many sports that can deal with it.
Disagree. Where does it end? If we want to be that clinical the technology will be around shortly where the whole match could be electronically refereed without the need for a referee. Every millimetre offside will be detected etc etc. Not for me - eleven humans v eleven humans with a human ref and lino’s please.

I hope the ref misses a hand ball in the last minute, VAR works perfectly, and Norwich score the resulting penalty to beat the scum.
 
What use is football without arguments and controversy?
More and more arguments and controversies with var, who ever thinks it’s going to sort problems need there heads looked at, it just causes more problems

So you've never yelled at a ref?
Just accepted human error happen so nowt to complain about

Aye loads, part of the game though.

Human error does happen and even though I mightn’t like it at the time I can accept it. We wouldn’t have beaten Liverpool with that Bent goal with VAR and at the same time wouldn’t have conceded that Torres backpass goal at Anfield. Was buzzing about the Bent goal and fuming at the Torres goal, need to take the rough with the smooth.
 
No worries.
Plenty of footballing luddites are against it because they don't like change, but it will also stop big teams getting dubious decisions as well imo.
Can't believe it has taken so long tbh.
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

They'll still get them "The defender breathed on Salahs neck thats why the penalty was given"
 
I have not watched much premier league football in the past season our 2 but I’m watching this weekend as var has to be involved and I am wondering who it will favour, the big teams our the little teams
 
I know. I won't be going if we reach the land of the entitled and greedy.

Me neither. Thankfully we won't be there any time soon. Tbh I don't bother watching football on the box anymore, unless it's an excuse to get out for a pint.

It's been used before. It favoured Liverpool. Salah diving when his arm got slightly pulled. VAR just looks for contact, if the ref wants to use it that is.
