Should be nothing. In all competitions. Ever.Surely it should be all or nothing?
Agreed, how does it make any competition fair and reasonable if not consistent? However, I expect nothing less from the shitshow governing bodies in this country, ruining the game we all love.
Only installed at premier league grounds atm due to cost. Should be all or none in order to maintain some competition integrity so in this competition it should none until all can afford it.
We were alright in analogue, digital is crippling the game.The whole VAR concept is a farce we have tv cameras basically refereeing games now it’s a bloody joke.
Even off-sides which is what it was initially brought in for a toe end of a boot or a hand makes you off-side, crazy.
But it will get worse human eye can’t compete with tv technology.
I could be wrong but I believe they’re allowed up to the national league, sure I read it somewhereI hope one of the big teams draws Maidstone away so they can complain about the plastic pitch. Are plastic pitches actually allowed in the EFL?
The thing for me since football began the rules were the same whether it was kids football or World Cup. VAR has changed that so pathetically if Chelsea are drawn at home tomorrow to Cov it’s used drawn away it isn’t, but if they play each other in the final it’s used.We were alright in analogue, digital is crippling the game.
Yeah you're completely right. VAR and the standard of refereeing at every level is shocking. Prem refs don't like to give decisions now as they know VAR will pick things up. And VAR isn't even picking up anything clear and obvious. It's picking up tiny margins that the naked eye can't see.Thing is, there will have been a few sendings off today which may not have been with VAR and some that would have been given with it.
Then you have other games using VAR to make decisions
Trying to turn something fundamentally subjective into something completely objective is impossible. Never mind using flawed technology to do so. It could never work & the sport is much worse off because of it.It's madness that in a fast moving sport being able to use replays to help facilitate making correct decisions has gone so badly tits up.
It's not equal is it and a nonsense. It should be a VAR free competition from the begining to the end.Surely it should be all or nothing?
I believe it was used in the FA Cup at all Premier League grounds. Makes senseWas it used at all in that game?
Oh I missed the point I meant if it actually stopped that game, I watched but didn't notice?I believe it was used in the FA Cup at all Premier League grounds. Makes sense
Because let's say a small team has a goal disallowed that should have been given due to offside or whatever that costs them a place in the next round. That prize money could have a massive difference on that teams financial ability and a chance to buy a player that could make a difference in getting them to a higher level.Maybe I’m missing something but why is it unfair?
That makes no sense to me whatsoever. What difference does it make to the Maidstone game (having no VAR ) that the Spurs v Man City game will have VAR.Because let's say a small team has a goal disallowed that should have been given due to offside or whatever that costs them a place in the next round. That prize money could have a massive difference on that teams financial ability and a chance to buy a player that could make a difference in getting them to a higher level.
Whereas the big teams for whom the prize money doesn't even cover a week's wages for a one player would get the right decision.
And beyond that VAR will almost certainly benefit the bigger clubs at home. They're likely to be doing most of the attacking and so most of the decisions being looked at will more likely benefit them. In the past a smaller team would need to counter the bigger team with physicality. With VAR that sort of tactic is more likely to end up with a red card, with slowed down replays making a slightly mistimed challenge or robust aerial challenge look like an assault. And that's before you take the unconscious bias into mind. A referee, whether they realise it or not, is more likely to think a lower league player is going to make such an error than a top flight one.
If the entire competition can't have it, none of them should.
Because one team could go through with VAR while another team wouldn't because they have different methods of officiating.That makes no sense to me whatsoever. What difference does it make to the Maidstone game (having no VAR ) that the Spurs v Man City game will have VAR.
As long as the two teams actually playing each other have the same technology, I don’t see the issue.Because one team could go through with VAR while another team wouldn't because they have different methods of officiating.
Lets say that a few grounds in the Championship didn't have goalline technology and so games played at those stadiums don't use it but all the other grounds do. We score a goal at that stadium that isn't counted because the officials don't see it going in, but if we had the technology it would be given. Due to that we don't win the game and drop two points.
Why should that matter? Both teams in that game didn't have the technology so why would it matter if, say, Leicester v Norwich did? Because it's still the same competition and not everyone is playing to the same set of standards.
