I did read at the time VAR wasn't allowed to intervene for some reason which just about sums it up!

But it can rule on toe nails being offside and "handballs" for a shoulder .

And that is the whole point, we have given VAR 2 years to get it right but it doesn't, causing more hold-ups more controversy and still making wrong decisions, in which case what is the point.

In fact our PL football is becoming a lottery, there is no point in attending matches if it is decided remotely.

I wanted it to succeed after seeing the success of DRS in cricket, but they are chalk and cheese.

One benefit for those relegated is that they can play football once again without it.

The more changes and allowances you make for VAR, the worse it becomes.



The difference with drs is that the final decision is umpires call even after its proved he may have it wrong. Hawkeye predicts the ball height and movement but not ground conditions on the pitch. In that way the umpire may be correct on an LBW even after its shown missing by hawkeye.
All the ref in football needs to do is have the final say in a tight offside or subjective decisions.
Basically look at the monitor. At least then the fans,well I would, think it wasnt a remote decision by a n other. Well Collina is now involved I read so maybe a forced change to the refs decision of using the monitor might happen.
In europe the refs do look and I dont think there are as many arguments as over here.

I still think it should be like other sports and each team has a set number of challenges in a game for the opportunity to use VAR relating to Dismissals, goals and Penalties.

 


Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

In what circumstances can VAR invoke a legal challenge?

Bournemouth considering it apparently, a recent shocker of an evening which ended with the VAR people admitting their errors had affected 3 PL results, I think this was Villa v Sheff Utd.

Their equipment was faulty (apparently) which should be their responsibility.


VAR is imperfect but I don't see legal challenges as the way to go, and it opens a whole new can of worms that we can all do without.

Not a bad idea really. It would add an element of strategy and hopefully stop the endless complaining.

Unless the appeal would be to force the ref to check pitchside. Now that's the way to go with appealing although it would still be refs call.
Our 'goal' against villa might well have stood.

The night of the 3 VAR mistakes was a different night.
This was when Bournemouth got away with one as Kane should've got a penalty against them for being shoved over by King.
The other 2 errors being Fernandez getting a generous penalty v Aston Villa (which helped B'mouth) and that odious little twerp Ward-Prowse cheating for a penalty v Everton.

Aston Villa v Sheff Utd was the first game back after lockdown and the only other game that night was Man City v Arsenal (re-arranged fixtures due to League Cup final).

You mean the revered Collina?

You make a good point there. But as you say, it's still the refs call so there's always that subjective aspect.

Don't forget that DRS has taken time to Morph into what it is today.
Hopefully VAR will be shaped in the same way over time so we all end up with something that is decisive, fair and not to time consuming.
I personally think it must start with Ref's studying the monitors and Offsides using the players bodies not limbs, though they will still be fractions in it.

We already do have something decisive, fair and not too time-consuming P.

It is called 'No VAR' and it is in the Championship right now.

VAR is a 'pantomime' - RH.
'A busted system' - SP.

Germany happy with VAR? You cannot be serious.

Things nearly came to a head in the match I saw, where the 'Shiedsrichter' (ref to you) consulted the pitch-side monitor twice to be sure, taking over 5 minutes.

He returned and awarded a penalty where it did not actually strike the arm, to the outrage of the home fans.

And of course, as it is VAR, even then the ref was then shown subsequently to be wrong!!
