Mason 47 1,373 Posted January 1, 2020 I genuinely thought that, at the very least, they would tone down use of VAR for a couple of games to take the heat off after the pandemonium of the last round of games. It would appear not. VAR has the same presence in English football as when Donald Trump actually got elected. What a nonsense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Shuck 183 Posted January 1, 2020 That's ridiculous. To be honest, as much as it's a pain for clubs, ourselves included, the more VAR is collectively shown to **** up at the minute, the better, as every incident of this nature hurts VAR more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiery Zac 1,066 Posted January 1, 2020 That’s pathetic. Surely no one (including those implementing these crazy decisions during the games) agree or want football reduced to this. So just get off your ****, change the rules (there’s been plenty of ideas, all of which are better than the mayhem and chaos occurring at the moment) and give the fans their football back.

Well b back 3,190 Posted January 1, 2020 They were warned only Monday that this must stop by the IFAB. Be interesting to see FIFAs reaction now 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vos 155 Posted January 1, 2020 Truly ridiculous. Trouble is that those responsible for introducing this farce are too embarrassed to face the music and will want things to quieten down before they admit their mistake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph Stiepermann 1,131 Posted January 1, 2020 At this rate we'll be hiring a 'posture coach' to work with our defenders. They'll all also all have to have buzz cuts and wear a kit two sizes to small for them. Marginal gains and all that. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had a nose at the Claret's forum and apparently the locals have been fed up with Dyche's style of play, tactics and not freshening up an ageing squad, they've been woeful for much of the season which only makes our meek loss to them even more galling.

To be fair you probably can if the governing body have told you you're repeatedly implementing it incorrectly and theoretically creating your own rules.

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted January 1, 2020 They have made a rod for their own backs but you can't change the rule halfway through the season. We are not talking about the rules of football though. We are talking about the rules of VAR. And surely they can be altered to make sure it doesn't happen again. What has happened so far shouldn't detract from putting it right now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What has happened so far shouldn't detract from putting it right now. I thought much earlier on they had changed one of the interpretations, which shouldn't have happened. One you have started the season with one interpretation you have to stick with it, no matter how stupid. But if they changed this offside interpretation now I am sure they would be hit with law suits from aggrieved clubs such as ourselves.These idiots have got themselves into a real mess, with clubs and fans the victims. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dont think it really matters we need to start winning and picking up 3 points and not 1 and nil from now on in regardless what other teams do. If we manage that then the rest should look after itself 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Westham v Bournemouth today so one or both of them will pick up points. It's obviously all about what we do but we're gonna have to rely on other teams too in view of the deficit.
