V.A.R

What's the point of VAR if they still can't get it right. Kane was clearly offside when given the penalty v Chelsea in the League Cup semi-final.
Peter Walton, discussing it on ESPN on Thursday said it wasn't clear either way. The still pic' showed that Kane's head and much of his upper body
were over the guide line. My understanding is that if any part of the body that can be used to score is past either of the last two defenders, it's offside.
This wasn't even close in terms of being able to get it right.

Blatant pen on Jesus in the Burton game aswell, checked by VAR, nothing given! It should of been a pen. It was 4-0 i think at the time so maybe they felt sorry for Burton..

I don't want VAR tbh

It's not necessarily VAR that isn't any good, it's the crap refs in our league we have looking back over the incident.

Ridiculous decision to use VAR in Southampton game
Good grief if they are going to review every incident like that then games will be ruined

As far as I know they review every goal.

Me no like it. It's a VARse

If it takes as long as current celebrations anyway then I have no problem with that tbh. Can easily be done by the 4th official where most will take about 3 secs to review.

The one tonight took what felt like three minutes for them to look at a lad that was microscopically offside after about ten replays. Not convinced by Var.

I'm assuming VAR will be checking to ensure players are still breathing and stuff like that as they seem to be checking for farts and all kinds

Getting ridiculous now. Why aren’t they looking at every challenge on the halfway line,cos that could change the game as well. As usual the FA have to play by their own rules, supposed to be for obvious mistakes not to stop the game at every opportunity

Will VAR be used to see if the goalie moves for these pennos then ?

He can move, just not forward

I think

VAR is checking what row Redmond stuck it in.

Every offside by definition is clear & obvious, its in the regulations.

I don't get the issue with last night, got two incredibly tight decisions correct that could easily have gone the other way (one did) with the naked eye.
