VAR - It's Football But Not As You Know It

[goaliepersempre]

I can def say they absolutely hate it in Germany... Goal Line technology perfect as it is straight forward ball in or out.. but when interpretation comes into it.. dislike... plus do you show the situation in real time or slow mo (tackles always look much much worse)

When we take the refs to such a high standard for say 1 mistake... what about players missing just 1 pass or 1 shot... Fully invest and professionalise refereeing is a much better use of the resource..

But I guess football is so to failing victim to instantanous goodfeeling, every one equal, social warrior, click bait modern times....

How VAR don't over turn the penalty is a joke

No contact FFS

Strangely enough that be yes

Lucky it was there otherwise gypo’s would have won. Horrendous decision to say no goal by linesman in the first place.

Anyone catch the Watford game in the EPL

Refs missed a handball and they all want the VAR in the EPL now

Bring on the burn

[hawk]

The big moment of controversy came when Willian went down after being caught by Klose in the area, but the Chelsea player was booked for diving.

Video official Mike Jones did not think there was a clear and obvious error with referee Graham Scott's decision - so they did not review the situation at length.

All of BBC Match of the Day's pundits thought it should have been a penalty, with Alan Shearer calling it a "shambles".

I know they been using it for some FA Cup games

But when they start rolling it out in the EPL??

Unsure, myself.

I know one thing already - with VAR I can no longer celebrate a goal like I used to. I look to the linesman and then the ref and then the screen and the emotion is gone.

not me, I run over to the fence, celebrate with my cousins for a good 34 seconds and generally carry on like a massive dickhead before checking to see if it's actually a goal

A good point about VAR in the EPL is that their range of cameras and coverage is far superior.

I had to google who Alan Shearer was and it turns out he was a team mate on Robbie Slaters EPL winning Blackburn team.

What the **** you on about

Bloke is a ****ing EPL legend

If he had of went to Man U in 92 he would have won a dozen league titles and scored 100 more goals

Unfortunately he kept going to teams there or there about a

How he would have went if he didn't do his knee early on his career would have been interesting.

He was still a fantastic player despite having a bung leg all his career

[Wilso8948]

Yeh only half good because of Slater for sure.

Shearer was on the big screen at the very first Jets game welcoming the other "Noo-cassle" to the world of football.
