VAR

Premier League continues to eat itself.

The codheads could have used a bit of VAR yesterday .. oh dear how sad NEVERMIND

It’s not the VAR that’s faulty it’s the human lack of consistency in interpreting what it’s showing them, some of the decision making is so hap hazard it’s comical.

Arsenal have been getting away with it all season at corners, yet now they’ve suddenly decided to crack down on it. All VAR has done is allow players to referee the game and take the responsiblity away from the ref, to a few clueless idiots who spend 5 minutes looking at various camera angles to still get it wrong.

We were lied to. Fans were told VAR was only to be used if the outcome of clips were clear and obvious, we weren’t told it would be used to deem whether a players nose is offside.

Seriously needs scaling down and only used on goal line technology and incidents which they can come to a clear and obvious decision on. If their unclear and have to look over and over they need to pass responsibility back to the referee.

They should have a deadline of say 2 minutes and if it’s not clear and obvious in 2 mins they should revert to the guy that’s actually there on the pitch. The Bloody Ref.

In one prem game they took over 5 minutes to see if a players shoulder was in an offside position. It’s an absolute shambles.

Needs to be stripped right back, give autonomy back to the officials on the pitch and only step in for absolute clear and obvious errors (like Graham Poll giving three yellow cards to the same player without sending him off, or allowing Freddie Sears’ goal to stand that went through a hole in the net and not given). The degree to which VAR gets involved and the time taken to come to decisions is ruining the game.

Just use it for goal-line technology.
Did it cross the line?
Don’t need more.
There’s still shirt tugging, arms round and on the shoulders of players at corners, it’s never used for that.

They already had and have goalline technology, which isn’t VAR.

I’m with left toe, if a ref has made a clear balls up then intervene, but not for every single little thing. Players are reffing the game because they know if they throw themselves to the floor or invite a foul and go over the VAR will 100% intervene.

It’s not added anything to football. Made it worse.
