Upon further review....Its still a no from me.
I read something the other day saying it was all done somewhere else away from the ground. That needs changing too if that's true, you can't have that if you're going to use it in every game, which, if that's where this is going, will have to be the case, surely?
Instead he gave up control of the situation by taking the other guys word for it
I'm still for it.
Look today's shit show has nothing to do with the system, blame the incompetency of the officials who are mis-using it.
One or two games yeah, but if they have it for every game kicking off at the same time then surely having it at the ground concerned would be easier. Not that I give a fuck either way mind, the whole thing will kill football regardless unless they get it right.Why not? It's just a giant room where the video ref is sitting at a workstation and watching the game. A bunch of sports leagues have a centralized location where every game is watched for potential video reviews.
He's only supposed to take their word for it on some yes or no decisions like offside. You're either offside or you're not. Decisions on fouls should always be the refs final choice with the help of VAR or he might as well not be reffing the game at allHe's supposed to do that though. People want VAR to be faster, so the ref is supposed to take the decision VAR gives him except in very rare situations. VAR said it was a foul. The ref shouldn't need to go over and waste another two minutes. The problem here is I don't think it was an obvious enough foul to chalk off the goal.
They fucking will though.You just can't review every goal.
Agreed.And in the end the refs will not give a flying f*** to ref the game properly because they now just can rely on the VAR.
And for the fans? Our instant joy over scoring will disappear. The soul of football. VAR will ruin the moments we all enjoy.
Thats just part of the game - bit of moaning one way or the other. Helps blow off steam.If we get rid of VAR managers and pundits need to accept the wrong decisions that the refs make rather than highlighting every mistake and blaming them for defeats.
