As is yours.

Wasn’t aware posts on a football forum were meant to be exciting tbh. Feel free to ask for a refund, and I’ll be sure to learn from your examples in future.

there needs to be room for error in football; it's part of the game's character and central to its sense of melodrama.

VAR has only come about because there's too much £#%&!ing money involved nowadays.

For the most part, all of these tedious debates would be shut down if refs who have made big mistakes came out and said “Yeah, sorry. I f***ed that one up. These are the reasons I made the wrong decision that I did. I’ll try to improve and ensure it doesn’t happen again”.

But no, all you get is this arrogant wall of silence from the w****rs and their governing body. Meanwhile any player or manager who dare suggest the ref gave a poor performance is hauled over the coals.

I’m all for respecting the officials, but it’s a f***ing two way street.
You have a point, they just won’t ‘throw them to the dogs’ like that.

Wenger was right the other day when he said the ref didn’t see that handball, he just guessed. I think we would be surprised at how much they actually guess at due to players in the way, they were following the ball and so on. They will give quite a few decisions on the reactions of players maybe even fans. And they really wouldn’t want to have to say that when cornered with the replays straight after the game.

The VAR got all the calls right at Liverpool yet it still caused so much outrage. Luckily they were all pretty much black & white decisions
The disallowed goal and penalty were both open to interpretation. The third one should never have been reviewed but by that stage the referee had lost all confidence and was incapable of making a decision on his own.

God help us all when Michael Oliver is using it.

So if refs aren’t allowed to make mistakes does that mean players aren’t either

The end to end flow and subtle shifts in momentum is what sets football apart from other sports and give it the unique feel. We all know either from watching or playing that a stop start game is less satisfying to participate in. The sports that have most successful use of video replays either have natural stoppages or restrict use to issues of fact.

Once it starts being used for interpretive questions then long stoppages are inevitable, refs gathered around screens terrified of a mistake wanting every angle possible before they make a call. Disputed catches in cricket can take an age, make the crowd restless.
