Put me down for team watched football without VAR for over 40 years and don't see how it's introduction has enhanced the game one iota
Ill put you down for team puppies shall I?
Let's all go fucking mental, smash our shins, fall over rows of seats, tongue strangers and bring ourselves to the precipe of stroke or a heart attack only to find out ten minutes later it was all in vain thank to an accountant with a monitor sat 120 mile away.
Still all in all poor refereeing again,
Giving a hand ball against o hare when his arms were folded across his chest ?
Not giving city a penalty when there defender clearly moved his hand from his side to in front of the ball ?
Not booking the cheating c**t who dived in the first half ?
Not booking the cheating c**t who dived in the second half , and giving them a penalty.
At some point referees must be held accountable for those decisions.
Var doesn’t necessarily change a penalty award it would have to be a clear and obvious error
Given That many threads on here have slated VAR I hardly see what’s the hunger for it
The one bit of technology we have was slaughtered on Wednesday as being fixed
We don’t need VAR. We still have a couple of holdouts that KNOW that ball crossed the line. Toss them a few quid to make the decisions.Too expensive

The referee's view of the penalty incident was perfect so the issue is about the referee's judgement, not that he was impeded by a poor view meaning assistance is necessary
In all seriousness VAR has been badly used, but pretending we don’t have the ability to clear up obvious contentious issues like penalty shouts in seconds is ridiculous.
Look at Thursdays game at Goodison, ref books Allan, ten minutes of VAR fucking about, changes his decision to red, still no consensus on whether it was a red or a yellow and in an admittedly turgid game it was the second major talking point behind a Hugh Fearnley Withingstall look a like cable tying himself to the post.
Every week there's some controversy related to desicions its assisted.
Then you put limits on it in terms of time taken and scope. I just find the idea that in a sport worth billions of pounds we don’t give an iPad to a fourth official to give them the same power some bloke in his bedroom already has, ridiculous.
The general idea is sound, and I think giving refs the ability to take a second look if needed when it can be delivered in seconds and cheaply is worth it. You just need to get rid of the panel, have a pitch side monitor the ref and assistants can take say 30 seconds to look over it, and call it a day.
The Holy grail is desicions, especially the big ones, being 100 percent correct, unachievable of course, but has VAR moved us nearer to that goal? I'm not sure it has apart from offside decisions and even that has people moaning that it's now too clinical.

offside and goal line technology are the only decisions you could decide can be computer factored
Would you remove goal line technology? (Probably a bad time to ask that question)
Also, VAR would probably have given a pen for the Dabo incident anyway, and he also should have been sent off (yet again) so if anything we had more of the big decisions go our way than against.
Our fans were convinced that the 99.999% accurate goal line technology had been rigged against on Wednesday night based off some blurry iFollow photos, imagine the riots if we had a VAR decision in one of our games.
For the high boot when he was already booked.Why would he have been sent off?
The only time it has ever failed in the entire time it has been used in football was that Villa game where somehow all of the sensors were blocked by players getting in the way. There is zero precedent for it failing to correctly judge what was a pretty standard decision, and it was shown to be working fine on the Quest highlights.Well no, I think it failed on Wednesday. I don't think it was rigged or fixed just that it failed, which it has been proven to do before.
I'm not sure, in my opinion it failed the other night, but either way,it didn't put the issue to bed conclusively which is what these things are supposed to do.
I suppose, but is the aim to make supporters happy or to get closer to a correct decision? I thought it was in at first, but the image shows according to the rules it wasn’t.
The fact a lot of City fans don’t accept that if anything shows you still get your moments of randomness and controversy because what makes those is fans at the end of the day, and we’d argue over anything.

Well it's like everything tech based nowadays isn't itThere's controversy every week over VAR though, we've even had crowds singing fuck VAR, I mean what the fuck?
As for the goal midweek,I dont think it had crossed the line but I'm not getting too bent out of shape about it personally, we were shit and deserved nothing.
As I said, it's got previous for failing.
did you see the Murphy penalty appeal for Newcastle the other week - looked like a penalty all day long
