Why VAR Though?

[derfblade.3]

Almost 1100 championship games in the season plus 4 in the play-offs and yet someone decides to have it for 1 game.
How many "goals" would have been chalked off during the season had we had VAR.?
Fucked us up good style.

Nowt quite like celebrating excitedly like a maniac for 2 minutes only to see the dreaded “Checking…”

As soon as I saw it was going to VAR (forgot it was in operation), I just knew it. That kicked us in the balls and Sunderland saw it as a wake up call.

Because ‘they’ think it’s the holy grail of football where, in reality, it’s been shown over the past few seasons that it’s not fit for purpose.

The ‘clear and obvious mistake’ is just a distant dream.

 

[Swinton Blade]

Nowt wrong with VAR concept, just the fools running it.

 

[Bladesman]

The Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system in football significantly improves decision accuracy, with studies showing it gets more decisions right than wrong. In 2195 competitive matches across 13 countries, VAR increased referee decision accuracy from 92.1% to 98.3%. At the 2018 Men's World Cup, accuracy rose from 95.6% without VAR to 99.35% with it. In another analysis of 804 matches, VAR improved accuracy from 93% to 98.9%. These figures indicate VAR consistently corrects "clear and obvious errors," with correct decisions far outweighing incorrect ones.

Totally disagree.

It may correct errors, but not all are clear and obvious ones.

They have spun the stats to show VAR is here forever regardless of what the fans want.

It's even more bizarre that it'll be used in the League 1/2 finals this weekend too, even for the winners they're still a few promotions away from it being the norm

Something a bit odd about it all but it's football and football is mostly bent.

Football, especially the Premier League, finals, internationals etc, is no longer a product for the fans in attendance, it's a product for the worldwide TV audience and betting markets.

The supporters who attend games in person are no longer the primary source of income for Premier league clubs and it shows.

Maybe the case but the game has been ruined by it, may as well have automated footballers too giving a 99.5% shot accuracy with robots. Tech has it’s advantages but personally you use it for all or none

 

[1987]

I don't think I'll ever be convinced VAR is good for the game.

It's dog shit. I genuinely hate it.

 

[Grey Blade]

That one was certainly not clear and obvious judging by the length of time the ref was looking at the screen. The shot was so hard I doubt the goalie had time to react. I'll be interested to see it later

Brave watching the highlights.

Imagine thinking football is worth completely ruining, in pursuit of 98% refereeing accuracy (made up number), rather than 92% refereeing accuracy (made up number).

It's all about numbers.

It's pathetic.

I think I'll leave it til tomorrow. Had enough trauma today

 

[Davalon]

If a decision had gone our way, people wouldn't have the same gripe

 

[Toronto Blade]

It is what the League powers want for their preferred clubs.Obviousky we are not one of them.

 

[Houston_Blade]

It was offside, just because the useless cunt of a linesman didn’t give it in real time doesn’t change that. He’d probably have stuck his flag up without VAR and we’ve have just shrugged and got on with it.

 

[vas borbokis]

None of our players in offside positions were blocking the goalies view as Burrows hit it, nor we're they stopping him diving for it. How were they interfering?
