In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Fred's currently a £50m sub. Christ we waste moneyThought it looked tight. Think the ones in the VAR booth are busy having an Afternoon Tea or something.
Now Cancelo coming on.
Fred hasn't been on the bench for our first three gamesWe'd a £70m sub last season
It doesn't have to overturn the ref if they tell the ref to check a replay and he then decides it's a pen/
I know that which is why I said it's obvious that's all it's for. It's not meant to be all it's for though which is why I said why aren't they told to watch replays so the ref can make a more informed decision.
You are not overruling the ref if you tell him to watch a replay like ALL the other VAR leagues do, the ref can still decide no pen after seeing what we have seen and then we at least know that VAR worked but the ref is just shit/bent. VAR clearly didn't work there and we don't know if the ref seen the foot stomp as a result.
You can see why Mahrez is benched a lot. Too greedy for Guardiola.
They don't want the TV's at the side of the pitch and this is where it is falling down.
No no no. VAR has an inherent flaw then- so of course you can blame the system as it’s not suitable for football. It’s another ref looking at a replay- that’s it. Won’t get quicker & won’t get less inconsistent from game to game unless you use the same ref for every premier league game.
So enough of this ‘ technology is great just people using it ‘ rubbish .
Seriously!? well they haven't got VAR then, that is half of the system. No wonder it doesn't work properly, they didn't order all of the bits haha.
Which I would agree with but they got rid of this completely and don't want refs looking like in Europe or world cup
Then train people up to use VAR and how to deploy the rules of the game. People who are independent, not professional referees.
Yep
Two routine away wins for City so far. Bournemouth never learn do they?
"Enough of this " ? You're dictating terms now?
Oh I know, I mean that at the minute he's a £50m player that wouldn't make our starting 11
What did you expect exactly? Who said it was anything other than that?
If implemented properly, another ref looking at replays would take away majority of bad decisions which is big improvement on what we had so far.
We go again.
Do you want to put an argument to my point rather than writing that?
VAR will never be consistent as it’s just another ref looking at a replay. So unless you use the same ref for every premier league game you’ll always have inconsistencies.
Am I wrong?
The ref scurrying over to the sideline to watch a replay would take too long which I why I think its not been implemented. Guess their reasoning is that ref mistakes used to happen earlier, at least with this haf baked VAR, errors leading to goals will be avoided.
VAR is a replay, you're barking at the wrong tree bro. Shit referees will always protect themselves, I have no problem separating the 2 issues.
Edit: besides it's here to stay for a little while (as long as that corrupt bald cnut heads FIFA anyway) so better hope for the referees to improve on it.
Well I always knew it was that but I think some thought it was some ultra sophisticated technology. It’s not.

‘ if implemented properly ‘ proves the system isn’t that good to begin with.
And no it really wasn’t that bad before. At all. Even those who like var say we were at 95% correct decisions before so your memory must be hazy
For some reason I highly doubt that 95% is an accurate number. With so many decisions open to interpretation, referees getting calls close to perfection in each game on average is pure delusion
Longstaff is in the Newcastle starting team today. Let’s see how he does.
Shame they scheduled two matches at the same time today. There was free period at around one.
This will be an absolute hiding.
What kind sophisticated technology, who thought that
If implemented properly, it's really not out of this world task just to ask them to implement it properly. You saw penapty on Silva today, only insane persin wouldn't get penalty for that, and the ref missed it. However, on VAR it was showed that it was the most obvious penalty ever and yet they decided to not give it, so what exactly is technology there to blame? They simply refused to overturn referee's decision even though the penalty was quite clear. If someone was fined after this game for not showing penalty for that I am sure we would see an imprement from that set of referees in the next game.
Again every one loves to make excuses for VAR ‘ give it time- it’ll get better honest!’ ‘ it’s not VAR it’s the ref to blame’What kind sophisticated technology, who thought that

If the system needs too many things to be working for it to work then it isn’t a good system.
And you will ALWAYS get inconsistencies game to game as it’ll be another VAR ref looking at the replays. It’s a system which just isn’t ever going to work
Positive approach from Newcastle here.
It's not the system that needs to be working, it's just VAR room referees that need to be objective and stop defending his collegue on the pitch. They just need to implement football rules as they are and everything will be alright.
Spoke way too soon
.
Missed the start because watching the end of cricket. Was the positive start from Newcastle when they actually came onto the pitch?
Winks booked for a tactical foul! Hallelujah! Seems some words are getting through.
Question for you caftards. Why do the various broadcasters love to give us replays on fouls/tackles and not piece of skills/outrageous controls/etc ?
Burnley ahead against Wolves.
Where is Shelvy
It's crazy how bad some of the midfields are at big clubs. United's is unbalanced and we have a distinctly average player playing every week, Spurs have Winks and Sissoko who are also distinctly average as starters, Arsenal have some incredibly average starters in there as well... Chelsea's is poorly balanced but they at least have good options there. City of course have a quality midfield, while at Liverpool Fabinho is quality with Keita as the potential to be quality, but the rest are all just functional players. Personally think if we signed a top holding midfielder we would see a crazy change.
Well that’s the system not working
Bench.
Been crying for one this summer. Problem is we might sign couple next summer but then Pogba would leave means we are back to square one.
