It's just another sign of everything being driven by viewing figures or the tail wagging the dog. It's fantastic fun for analysts, which is why Sky, TNT and Viaplay employ a commentator, two co-commentators and between two to five pundits to (completely over) analyse a bloody football match. One of a few reasons why I've been at less matches this season than any since we got back into the top flight. They have found a way into every single knook and cranny in giving retired players more opportunities to get paid more and highlight decisions based on their own opinions, Liverpool vs Manchester games who do they hire ? Rangers Vs Aberdeen etc its to get everyone to play there little games for more click bate and views, let’s be honest the only ones who are feeling the brunt of it are the Fans who can’t make a decision or voice there opinions sure we do it on here but let’s be honest, why don’t we ask a fan when the decisions go against his team to explain there reasons against the VAR decision. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget about these offside by a fingernail things over examining every goal to see if someone farted during the build up. Only review incidents after a manager or captain request - will reduce the amount of VAR stoppages. The hand ball and offside rules need to be changed in general. Offside should go to daylight between attacker and defender before being offside and handball should be intentional only. It wont be perfect and there will still be mistakes but it would hopefully be less. Also its a bit stupid implementing VAR but not goal line decision technology. 100% like they do in Rugby call the Captains over when there is a potential foul or Discussion that needs to be addressed to the other players. Save all this faffing about let’s bring the Rugby mentality into football minus the tackles of course 🤣 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fa1833 224 Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 (edited) What about the Arsenals disallowed goal vs Manchester United yet again Another VAR mistake. or this one 26 October - Brighton 3-2 Everton Match report What happened? In the 77th minute, a penalty was given to the hosts by VAR for a 'foul' by visiting defender Michael Keane on home striker Aaron Connolly. Neal Maupay converted from the spot for 2-2. What was the match outcome? Brighton scored again in the 94th minute through Lucas Digne's own goal to win 3-2. What they said: "If VAR saw something in our box, why didn't it see 15 minutes earlier the penalty for Richarlison," said Toffees boss Marco Silva. "Because of that my players are in the dressing room and don't understand. "If they see one for one side then they have to see for the other side too. It was a clear penalty [to us]. VAR has to be the same for both sides." Edited January 4 by Fa1833 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
compo 7,029 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Maybe referees should be miked up so they can explain their decisions in live time then everyone knows what's going on. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 15,292 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 As soon as people say, 'let's make it more like rugby', I'm turned off. Rugby is a shite sport to watch. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill 13,717 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 3 hours ago, Bluedell said: There are issues with things like handballs, but the problem is with the rules of the game and not VAR itself. Surely the denial of a penalty against Celtic and the subsequent cloak and dagger cover up suggests there is something VERY wrong with VAR. It's not just a case of missing things when the process becomes steeped in denials and contradictory explanations. The problem (as it was always bound to be) is that VAR has become just another tool to be employed by corrupt officials in Scottish football. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cue another round of ridiculing rugby and asserting football as a very different game that necessarily depends of secrecy and cover-ups. We can't have transparency in football - we would have to get rid of most of the clowns referees we have today. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it matter how play is reviewed if it continues to be done in secrecy? It will always be open to the sort of shit we saw from Collum on Saturday. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
