VAR

[Saint Domingo]

It's love hate for me, it's very clearly needed but it does suck the joy out of a goal like that.

Back in the old days Oliver could have just blown up for absolutely nothing and it wouldnt have stood. St least with VAR most oftentimes they let it play on to avoid making a controversial call. It’s still being used to rig games but it’s better than it used to be.

It's needed because the referees are so poor at their job. Unfortunately, it is the same people operating VAR. It just magnifies the incompetence and slows down the game ...

I agree that it is different but I don't reckon it is better. Now, you do not get the incensed teams and crowds reacting en masse to a clear injustice. It is all calmed down by a protracted period of deliberation by a third party. Far more genteel and media friendly. We are expected to sit there and politely clap the preferred winners because they generate more revenue for the authorities from media markets ...

Has consistently made the game worse since it's arrival, which I always was the obvious outcome

 

[welshtoffee]

Ruined the game, said it all along

 

[Saint Domingo]

Just a tool to fix the outcome they want

 

[Ring master]

How they get so many obvious things so wrong i will never know.Its made refs etc 2nd guess themselves. and made them lazy and worst

 

[Saint Domingo]

Why do we get every single goal forensically investigated whereas no one is looking as to why Branthwaite is on the floor for the Ugarte goal

 

[n01efc]

Why didn’t they show the angle from behind the goal, you could see the clear tug.

It's definitely made refs even worse.

You've answered your own question...

 

[Timbucktoo]

Is there a hidden rule that every decision that can go for us takes min 4 minutes to find fault with it.

Didn’t fit the pre match instruction, couldn’t let United lose

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Not. Fit. For. Purpose.

It's not at all sensationalist when I say that it has near ruined football.

the check on Beto's goal was joke, they wanted to find an offside
