If VAR had said no penalty how would the game of restarted, would the Sheffield player get the ball back with a free run at goal?? Free kick to defending side . The attacker would have been deemed to have simulated a foul

When VAR was introduced, my concerns were the same as articulated by Pochettino. And I think it's getting worse rather than better. It hasn't been helped by the way offside and handball are now interpreted. It would be interesting if the Premier League took a vote by the players/managers as to whether to continue with VAR or do away with it. My current perception is that the vote would be to discontinue. We would then be left with a situation in which there would be an acknowledgement from players, managers and the fans that referees do make on field mistakes. I think these would be more easily forgiven that those we are currently seeing with the VAR officials. Old, Ungifted and White

Originally posted by Elpis I hate that idea . Would lead to poor decisions at the end of games when teams have run out of 'challenges '. Sounds like more chaos to me . I would go back to referee's actually refereeing the game ,linesmen flagging for offside and goals being goals when the ball is in the net and the ref ref indicates it is . VAR could still have its use ,when and only when the referee decides he needs help ,if he is not sure on something he can ask VAR for clarification . Not what we had last night at Spurs where VAR was basically refereeing the match . As Postor.....the Spurs manager said after , let the refs ref and lineman give offsides , we will take it on the chin if they make a mistake That's fair enough - it's only a suggestion but out of interest why should the decision making get worse just because a team had conceded two goals?

Not sure what your asking . But my point was if VAR is only used when refs decisions are challenged by teams it cant be used when the ref needs help making a correct one . My fundamental belief is that the ref controls the game and if we are going to continue to have VAR its only used when he asks for it to be used .

The genie was out of the bottle when the Premier league was formed hand in hand with TV. Before that ref decisions were not the subject of any real analysis, once games were televised they were, and the problems started The problem being we start to look for perfection, we now look for fractions, in off side, balls out of play, what is a foul in the penalty box , hand balls in split second situations. Nothing is perfect, VAR will only begin to satisfy when the rules regarding these issues can be backed by even better technology than it presently is. The genie can’t be put back in though , because TV is still there, and decisions will still be analysed to death at the expense referees reputations, adding no real value to the game.

It works pretty well in cricket for wrong L.B.W. and caught behind decisions.

Wasn't it TV, Pundits, Managers, FANS & finally players who ALL wanted this, look where we are, mayhem, distrust, & enjoyment out the window This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.
