Var

I think its just about folks accepting a set process to deal with the subjective eg.

To overturn a ref decision the VAR team of say 4 have to ALL agree - one decenting voice and it stay with on the field decision - becaus if its not obvious enough to all…etc

Also the VAR team should NOT include explayers as these tend to have very strond opinions of how the game shoudl be played as oppoosed to the rules that givern it - they should be a mix of ex and curret refs - as thius will also help in teh development of those currently still in game.

The biggest problem was the idiot making the VAR calls. Mike Jones can’t be trusted to sit the right way on a bog seat.

Let the ex-refs (except Jeff Winter) man the VAR, as they won’t have the worry about upsetting their colleagues. Most of them do it through newspaper articles already.

Good call, the bald bloke (not the italian one) does that already for BT so why he can’t do it in Stokley Park?

Howard Webb!! Wonder if he would be so opiniated if he was having to make the calls again!!

Wait until you’re actually at a game with BAR.

Saw it in action in Krakow in December for a penalty appeal.

Odd is my description.

It may improve decisions not sure about the match experience but who cares about actual spectators

So, today, Liverpool v West Brom.

Salah goes down theatrically and gets awarded a penalty via VAR.

Would you seriously have given that as a penalty??

Teams will win a few and lose a few decisions - it’s not really a big deal in the grand scheme of things - at least there’s an opportunity for a second decision - rather than regular moaning about refs getting it wrong…I reserve my right to say VAR is bollocks when things clearly are not right and decisions go against us…

We have the VAR down hear in the Oz-League.

Fans hate it, refs fuck it up and the game is now boring as bat shit because of it

My two cents is it’s not worth it but I’m not an FA tie and jacket looking for ways to keep the population down
