Is it confirmed that VAR is being used?
It should either be all or none in a competition, we didn't have it against Exeter.
This will be Covs first taste of VAR, I'm looking forward to it. We have already been on the end of some questionable decisions this season.
I don't quite get the argument that it is taking the passion out of the game, I'm yet to see fans not celebrate a goal when its initially scored.
I agree but it hasn’t worked like that so farIs it confirmed that VAR is being used?

Of course they celebrate, it’s a reflex! But then having to wait to get it confirmed. It’s like “yay” when it does and then sit down. Considering they’re not giving goals that could apparently be scored by your armpit as well, it hasn’t endeared itself to me. Glad we don’t have it
Technically get to celebrate twice
Where do you literally draw the line though? The rule is an arse. I think they should be far more daring and use ice hockey rules or a combination. We don’t want goal hangers but what is the point of offsidevar exposes the poorer rules of the game
also i dont like seeing goals dissalowed for mm even if tehcnially they should be off.

To expand you could only have it in the box or have just 1 player ahead of the player. What’s the rule for? To limit goals or chances?
i would like a daylight rule where non goal scoring limbs dont count, unless there is gap between striker and defence its all good for meWhere do you literally draw the line though?

O
Originally there had to be 3 players between attacker and the goal, then it moved to 2, and then 1.
If you removed offside the entire game as we know it would change. No longer would you need slick passing to draw defences out, any free kick would just result in a lump forward into the box and crowd the keeper. It would take away so much more of the tactical side of the game.

Even with VAR (as has been proven) there will be controversial decisions. So long as they can get the speed of the decision right, I don't see a problem with it. The tecnologoly works fine in other sports. It is only designed to eliminate decisions which are clearly incorrect. You will never get a system which is 100% accurate.When they analyse the demise of the beautiful game, they will trace it back to the introduction of VAR.
Take away that ecstatic moment when your team score and you take away what is so special about football. Who cares whether every decision is correct? Arguing about it afterwards is also part of football's appeal. And it balances out over a season anyway. Scrap VAR now!
In baseball, they have challenges. The umpires get headsets on and wait for other umpires in a command centre to make the decision, but only when a team challenges a call. The teams each get 1 challenge per game, but if they use it and win the challenge they retain it. It does slow the game down, but in a game with a lot of downtime it’s not felt as much. The main issue in my opinion is that the coaches can ask the umpires to wait up to 30 seconds as they check video replay of their own. I think they should just make the decision of whether to challenge or not after seeing the play live. Overall it works pretty well.Even with VAR (as has been proven) there will be controversial decisions. So long as they can get the speed of the decision right, I don't see a problem with it.
