Indeedy.
Looked at the table but didn't actually read the article.
To me it again highlights how insidious VAR is becoming in football reporting/media.
Same article came out last season about how the table would look if VAR was operating.
Curious to see how this plays out.

The EPL is trying to reduce as much of delays or stoppages of play due to VAR as they know it will effect fans attending games
We'll see the same as last year. High frequency intervention to start the season, fans become disgruntled, media latch onto it, A-League conducts a ''review" and reduces intervention. Fans become happier.
Oh I agree with let the refs do their job but why use the system half assed...use it to get everything correct or not at all.Quote:

VAR worked well.
Should be more of it.
Big fan.
This nabooow guy is alright.
Traore is the best player to have ever played in the A-League.Quote:

Not far off the mark....tbh the games so far have been pretty ordinary but made exciting by the VAR. Good publicity.Quote:

If it is so good Bozza why the need to over analyze the good decisions as well as the bad to justify it? Like the EPL review show we apparently need to look at every decision in minute detail, even if it is right.
Surprised no one is asking why the VAR didn’t intervene in the Wellington game when Ams awarded that indirect free kick in the last few minutes.
Should’ve been a pen.
Cause it is Ams... :gent:Quote:

I think his career over there might be over before it's even begun.

Some pundits were discussing how bad VAR is and one them said that the championship is more enjoyable to watch now that it's more raw and true to the game, they all agreed with him.
You love to see it. If VAR does fail in England then we'd have a chance to remove it everywhere else. Here's hoping they keep up the good work they are currently doing.
I'm a Spurs fan but that call was absolute dogshit.Quote:

Gillett also gave this “foul” a penalty in the a league grand final in 2012 :whistling:Quote:

Confirming the try sealed victory for SA so it was an important call.
They ran the footage in slow motion once through, checking 2 ?forward passes and offside.
At the end of watching it, they say to eachother, “no clear and obvious error there?” Other referees agreed try stood. All up took a minute max.
Now one pass I thought went marginally forward out of the hands. I was expecting them to investigate but they didn’t.
They basically said, no big blunder, carry on.
Now that’s something I’d like to see us adopt. If you can’t determine something off 2-3 replays, it’s not clear and obvious.
Check out the pass Wales beat France with....not called either.
Watched Gillet ref Barnsley/Bristol last night ...a different man. Let all manner of hatchet tackles go.
holy shit that is a poor decision by the VAR.
How about Fenton to Archie....."that was f***ed".Quote:
