VAR

[Drog]

Are you suggesting corruption dave? With so much money swilling around I'd imagine that is precisely what VAR is intended to cut out.

No way, drog, all I'm suggesting it's an unnecessary intrusion.
VAR is not appreciated, needed, or wanted. It's a waste of time, and becoming a blight on the game, much like the constantly changed offside rule.

Premier League clubs will vote on whether or not to keep VAR next season. Takes place in June. Needs 14 of the 20 clubs to vote "aye" to pass.

Bye bye VAR

Why not 11?
Anyway that would be great for Man Utd. They've been shit since var meant they couldn't get penalties and their opponents could. Plus they've had to play against 11 men most of the time too.

Did you see the Anthony Gordon foul last night which should have been a penalty to Newcastle at Old Trafford? VAR had a look and got it wrong. Nothing changes.

No ... in Spain.

Ok seen it. A foul all day long. The system picked it up the man in the control room didn't give it. No idea why and neither had Gordon who gave a similar opinion. The man in the studio needs hauling in front of a camera to explain his decision. Scrap the bloke but keep the tech.
In all fairness odb you and I wouldnt be so cock sure that it was a foul without the var tech would we?

Noooo I spotted it straight away as any good ref should have done. VAR makes referees lazy.

Not everyone is as gifted as you with 20:20 vision and the ability to see 360 degrees the whole match though ODB

It’s the splendid Riverside view that helps drog. I note you have no comment over what I said about the referees though.

That's cos it's your opinion. I bet the Refs want VAR to stay. tbh it's a nonsense to get such technology and revert to the methods of the luddites. The only problem with VAR is the human element and they need to sort that out. No one moans about the goaline tech cos it doesn't depend on one persons opinion. Maybe 3 referees viewing in var central would be better than one.
