I still like it. It's the way they administer it. How on earth they were supposed to unravel that today, God knows. Was never going to happen.Hardly the biggest takeaway from today’s result, but wondered if 99 minutes of The VAR Show has changed anyone’s minds on whether it’s a good thing for the game?
Is it making games more fair? Better to watch? Is it protecting refs from criticism?
The CoH kick to the face being deemed ok was ridiculous.I still like it. It's the way they administer it. How on earth they were supposed to unravel that today, God knows. Was never going to happen.
All it needed was a 20 seconds look and a decision made that there was nothing obvious and no obvious error, it should have just stayed with the onfield decision.
Nowt wrong with VAR. Something incredibly wrong in how they decipher the footage and implement the system.
DefinitelyThe CoH kick to the face being deemed ok was ridiculous.
So the answer to dodgy refs is to give them more power to stop the game and change decisions?It's the people where the problem lies, not the system.
And this is why it’s total shit for me - you can’t even properly celebrate the very best thing about football, because some dweeb in a control room might decide to tell you it didn’t actually happen once he’s slowed it down enough times on his monitor.I didn't celebrate the equaliser cos I thought var gonna rule it out for offside. That's me being glass half empty but also the worry of var added in
The only way it will ever be consistent is if they stop the game after literally all goals and contentious tackles (uhhh no thanks), or just scrap it altogether.It's just not consistent. Sometimes they will look in depth, some times they don't even bother looking.
How couldn't they see that O'Hare had been kicked in the face?

Yeah exactly. I must have missed them even mention it was being checked.They spent no time at all looking at that it seemed!

They are varIt’s not the fault of VAR it’s the fools that using it.
Horrible celebrating when you know there is a chance it could be ruled out!!It's shite

My only experience of VAR was at UEFA sanctioned matches (England internationals) and those checks are much more efficient.Had no issue before today’s game. Fuck waiting five minutes to celebrate a goal, get rid.
Seems to work better in Europe so the problem is the officials using it.They are var
I went fucking mental tbhAnd this is why it’s total shit for me - you can’t even properly celebrate the very best thing about football, because some dweeb in a control room might decide to tell you it didn’t actually happen once he’s slowed it down enough times on his monitor.
You can’t even watch a fucking replay of a goal on TV anymore without them freezing it mid-highlight to satisfy the nerds who would otherwise hop online to claim there’s a conspiracy against their shitty little club.
Definitely heard "Fuck VAR" and "You can stick VAR up your arse" being sung previouslyVar spoils the atmosphere imo, I'd rather the ref was trusted to make the right/wrong decision, can't stand these long delays before you can celebrate properly.
Also, singing "the referees a bastard"
And "your not fit to referee" are part of every fans vocabulary, blaming VAR doesn't even get a song!
