SCRAP VAR

[mmmmsnouts]

The technology is fine. The people using it, especially in the Premier League, are the issue. They go down rabbit holes looking for players who are a centimeter offside or tiny fouls in the buildup to a goal, instead of trying to fix the most glaring errors.

The lack of restraint in the PL is very clear when you watch other countries use VAR.

It's a tool that allows for manipulation of the end result. WWE Premier league doesn't even try to hide the corruption these days.

The NRL have a Captain's Challenge for their Rugby League.

That seems to work pretty well. It is limited to 1 per half but if successful, a further challenge is allowed and so on until unsuccessful. In the matches I watch here in the UK it is not being abused.

I recognise this only applies to Ref's decisions and would not be practical if it could be made in respect of a VAR official decision.

I still think similar would be worth considering and would be some improvement on the present positoion

Rugby is a game with frequent breaks. I just don’t think VAR aligns well with football. It destroys the flow of the game.

It also hasn’t eradicated errors. Rather, it has created another layer of confusion.

I really really detest Var. Has destroyed football.

Always happy to see my VAR hate-thread reappear. Bin it immediately.

If the rule has changed, like they said in the studio, our line was drawn from the wrong spot.

Every other sport has Tech and have zero problems yet we seem to have morons running and it changes every week what counts

….nothing wrong with VAR, just it’s interpretation.

Exactly. As it's been mentioned so many times, do other countries that implement it have so many contentious decisions made using it? It feels not.

For me, it's a very close decision as where the line has been drawn (this is the crux of the issue) isn't completely distinguishable between the shoulder and elbow.

I recollect they were aiming to be more forgiving in such decisions, but once again the inconsistencies mean we're denied a goal.

Scrap the linesman not flagging immediately for a clear and obvious offside.
What‘s that about?

Fit belts to players. Every time they foul or get caught off side - electric shock. Over time will eradicate need for VAR. Simples

Did they take the line off the wrong player in the utd game?

I don't know what they are playing at, mate.
