Get rid of VAR NOW! We want our game back! (...or not, some are happy)

[bdecuc]

What's the point of the VAR????

 

[bosnian_red]

What in the feck? That's the whole fecking reason VAR is there. Useless cnuts

 

[El Zoido]

Ok that was absurd. Can live with the Cahill just being a yellow but he is clearly pulling him back there, what the feck VAR.

The foul was outside the area, which VAR doesn’t review.

 

[Nick7]

It can't help useless referees. All the premier league refs are useless.

 

[SER19]

Var is perfect. We can see how quick and accurate the tech is. But only england can make it a pointless farce.

 

[Ibrahimorich]

How in the feck can VAR say that's not a penalty when it's a stonewall penalty? That's a 100% red card and a 100% penalty we've been denied now. VAR fecking useless

 

[Jed I. Knight]

What’s the point when you still have to live with inexplicable decisions like that?

Absolute horseshit.

 

[Untied]

All it’s doing at the moment is giving referees the chance to not make decisions and then not have them overruled

 

[Ainu]

No one will be able to explain how that wasn't given. No excuses for this, VAR has utterly failed us here. Might as well cancel the whole thing if this is it.

 

[NinjaFletch]

You only have to listen to analysis after games to know that referees in this country are always looking out for their own. They'll uphold wrong decisions all season if they can gat away with it.

 

[ha_rooney]

They should be made to explain decisions. The red card being given a yellow i can maybe understand, but that’s a clear penalty & they don’t even review it!!

 

[Mrs Smoker]

The foul was outside the area, which VAR doesn’t review.

Continued in, though. If ref saw it, would call it as an outside of the box foul? Just free kick?

 

[PoTMS]

Big advocate of VAR but if that non penalty decision is gonna be given, you may as well pack in the whole lot.

 

[Drainy]

its good on paper, but don't underestimate the power of incompetence

 

[Infestissumam]

VAR is not the issue, shite refs are the issue.

 

[Phil]

Well I'd probably change my vote at this point. Of course the referees in this country can't use it properly.

 

[SqueakyWeasel]

What a joke! If it's run by bent refs then what's the difference?

 

[El Zoido]

Continued in, though. If ref saw it, would call it as an outside of the box foul? Just free kick?

Not sure on the rule to be honest. I thought it was taken from the initial point of the foul but could be wrong.

 

[Broad Street Bullies]

If a ref can make a shocking non call as that penalty incident then what's the point.

 

[HJ12]

I was hoping VAR would give refs more confidence to make the right calls, instead it appears they've gone the opposite way. Make no big game calls unless VAR over-rules. In short, shirking their duties. Ref today is an absolute coward with his decisions so far.

 

[Ralaks]

The foul was outside the area, which VAR doesn’t review.

I'm quite sure that if a foul continous into the penalty area it counts as a pen, but could be wrong

 

[NinjaFletch]

You're 100% correct.

 

[Mrs Smoker]

Would have explained what happened in this game, though.

 

[Untied]

VAR is not the issue, shite refs are the issue.

Both are the issue. The PL essentially has implemented VAR in a manner that it covers refs asses rather than ensuring correct decisions

 

[Jed I. Knight]

“Not clear and obvious penalty” coming out of the VAR room.

fecking joke.

 

[Bojan11]

Craig Pawson is in the VAR office which explains it.

 

[bleedred]

The way it’s implemented the VAR and ref are tossing a coin and both is expecting the other to call for it.

 

[ROFLUTION]

Surely why they dont explain why VAR did or did not intervene in situations is that it would also feck with their 99.5 or whatever accuracy bullshit narrative (conducted by themselves)

 

[Red_toad]

I thought VAR was supposed to stop poor decisions? It’s no more reliable that the ref on the pitch. How on earth that Martial penalty didn’t happen, the mind boggles.

 

[Anustart89]

I'm very pro VAR as a system but today just reinforces the absolute shittiness of the referees in this country, where backing their mates is more important than the laws of the game.

 

[One Night Only]

Get rid of it. All well and good it being there, but they have absolutely no clue how to use it.

 

[giorno]

VAR didn’t review because the initial foul was outside the area.

Nope...

I'm quite sure that if a foul continous into the penalty area it counts as a pen, but could be wrong

This.

 

[Ainu]

Well we got a penalty (correctly) so now the first incident will probably be glossed over.

 

[njred]

Are we starting to agree it's useless?

 

[giorno]

Are we starting to agree it's useless?

If you don't use it, sure, of course it's useless

 

[njred]

Shelve it till the refs figure out how to use it. Need another preseason and friendlies to figure out how to look at a fecking video. So shelve it. Happy united lost but the VAR experiment is failing.

It's 3 weeks

 

[Ace of Spades]

I did not care as much, but if the people in charge are idiots, then this is pretty pointless.

 

[bdecuc]

Useless. If it can't correct the Martial penalty miss then it's useless. It just makes the whole experience more frustrating.

 

[VeevaVee]

Bring in VAR only refs. Train them very well. Surely the best option?
