VAR - Where Do You Stand?
So we're approaching the halfway point of the first Premier League season of VAR, and IMO it's been a shambles which is suffocating and slowly killing the game.
Watched some old World Cup highlights the other day, footage from the classic Brazil vs Italy 1982 game, and it struck me how different the experience of a goal was compared to now. Today it seems as though the ecstasy of a goal celebration has been excised from the game, and replaced with this period of purgatory where bald, old @#%&!s play with computers to determine whether every nuance of the rules has been adhered to. I've been surprised by how negative I've felt towards the impact of VAR. People are arguing that it's needed, and the decisions always even out, and that it will eventually be tweaked, blah, blah, blah, but I just want it gone. Was hilarious seeing how it helped us in Paris last season, but overall, it's been a horrendous trespasser on a game that didn't need it. Poll to follow. |

I think it could have a place if they used for reviewing something that it clear and obvious like red cards or obvious offside calls that were missed (last night is a good example tbh), but not for disallowing goals because the ball brushed someones arm or because their big toe was offside.
Doubt that will happen though, so if it cannot be used sensibly then just Ł#%&! it off instead. |

It's the worst thing that's ever happened to football. Stat nerds who can't accept random elements and have to control and measure every aspect of everything, the kind of morons who didn't even like football 25 years ago, interfering and ruining it.
When Rashford scored v Liverpool everyone stopped and looked around. That will only get worse - give it a couple of years and every goal will be checked routinely. No spontaneous goons any more. |

not only is it essential, but it needs to be applied retrospectively to every time we've played arsenal or chelsea in the last 30 years, plus the 76 cup final and that game against porto. then jo mo should be fined enough to buy out the glazers.
it should only be used for egregious injustices, though. and they should get 15 seconds reviewing time max. once you start drawing lines across the screen, it fails. the current handball rule is not var; it's just shit. handball should always be deliberate, just as offside only applies to someone interfering with play. rashford should have been booked for diving, incidentally. there was contact, but he did not go down under the contact. penalty and card is fair. encourage people to try to stay on their feet. the principle of var is good. the problem is the @#%&!s looking at it. it's just a different @#%&! making a shit call. just let me do them all and it would be fine. all part of my benign dictatorship offer. |

Its taking the fun out of it, united score a 94th min winner tomorrow from a cross / through ball scenario and after the first 1 second of goon i will immediately be thinking was his kneecap offside. |

If you can be played onside by a defender who has no hope of getting near the ball then an attacker in a similar position should be offside. VAR has turned out exactly the way I predicted, leads to big gaps in the game and replaces controversy about ref's decisions with controversy about VAR's decisions. Get rid, accept that football is a sport and sometimes shit happens. |
