Foxy2600 238 Posted July 1, 2020 It appears that no-one in Stockley Park has ever played footie. Never refereed a football match.........so glad to be going down. Good luck Leeds. Your euphoria will soon be quenched. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kenny Foggo 1,038 Posted July 1, 2020 I wish they would scrap it... Doesn't make the game better to watch. It makes the wrong decisions even harder to take. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They don't need to scrap it, that just need to implement it correctly. "Clear and obvious errors" doesn't equal 4 minutes of watching frame by frame and drawing squiggly lines. If it's not obvious, the refs decision stands the same as rugby or cricket Edited July 2, 2020 by AJ 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it's not obvious, the refs decision stands the same as rugby or cricket I don't think 'clear and obvious' applies to offside. They check every goal. But you're absolutely right, 4 minutes was absolutely ludicrous. They should have a maximum of 1 minute. Or be sent to Germany to be trained. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crispeduk 265 Posted July 2, 2020 Agree - VAR remains good in principle, quality of operator will always be an issue, just as the quality of the man with the whistle has always been an issue. Mistakes will be made but any official repeatedly getting it wrong should be taken off the job. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff the Canary 63 Posted July 2, 2020 VAR was brought in to remove human error! Humans review VAR footage and make more errors! Oh the irony 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 4,349 Posted July 2, 2020 Saw this one in La Liga the other night. The clearest dive you'll ever see, yet it took six minutes to clear up... and they ended up upholding the decision! This one's probably even worse than Godfrey's 'ghost foul' against Man U. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it's not obvious, the refs decision stands the same as rugby or cricket Sorry don't agree - any credibility VAR had is completely shot and I say that as someone who was optismistic about it before the season started, even though the earlier results of its use were pretty mixed. This season has repeatedly shown really fundamental failings in VAR, of which the incredible number of wrong decisions is only one part but there are others, and the overall impact of VAR on the atmosphere and excitement at games has been devastating. No amount of tweaking its implementation is going to fix the problems, it needs to be scrapped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And not just Spain. This one happened in Serie A last night, and the league has actually defended the decision today by saying the referees were right to take no action as the kick that split his opponent's nose open was accidental. You can understand decisions like these 'live', but they're difficult to justify after VAR checks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
