Now that is an easy one on "facts", this technology is common place now. Originally posted by Willo
VAR was in place for the England v Germany friendly recently but wasn't used at all. People have to get away from believing that VAR is a panacea - there will still be cases where 'Fact' doesn't come into it (Like ball over/not over the line) and subjective decisions are made.

You can't conduct a test in a competition where you are effectively asking just 2 teams to operate to a different set of rules to everyone else. You either have VAR in every game of that round, or none of them. And they've still chosen a high profile game, featuring two PL teams, particularly due to the piss poor way the last league tie was handled. I'm not sure that this requires two teams to operate to a different set of rules as such. The same rules of football will apply - there will just be an additional set of eyes looking at the decision?

But only ours will be retrospectively. In rugby the ref can request it or his touch-judges/TMO can tell him they've spotted something. No idea how it works in football yet, but I've seen reports that they still get things wrong even when using it.

I'm still to be convinced that VAR will result in better officiating. The final decision is still dependent on how the laws are interpreted and the camera angles that are available.

so let me get this straight. A near riot almost breaks out in the previous fixture and we decide this is the one to test new technology? Seems like there are a dozen other matches which would make more sense. All that's left is for craig pawson to be named referee Edited by doublesuited77 (07 Dec 2017 5.24pm)

Oh finally the VAR! So glad! And as for Palace, I guess we are the last ones to worry about VAR, other teams might... not us!

In general this is a good move but it will take time for officials to work out when to use it and when not to use it. Given that I don't think a Derby game is a sensible time to try it out. When I was watching the 2007 RWC final and it took 4 minutes for the ref not to award Mark Ceuto's try some I was with commented they have never seen someone swear so much in such a short period of time. Learning points from rugby are: I do think they've got the 3 scenario's in which they use the video refs pretty much right. Sin bins next please.

My concern is that our refs are so far up their own a***s that they will not refer decisions. Sorry if this upsets you Mr Clattenburg Senior. Rugby refs are far superior to anyone in the Premier League

WTF does this mean? If Mark doesn't want to give it that's alright??
