    Why are we still having this conversation?

    VAR is objectively a good thing, where are all the posts about the refs who operate VAR being the broken link in the chain?

    Are we? From my personal observations I’ve seen we’ve had less VAR interventions in the last season or 2 than we used to

  3. It seems to getting worse, with refs also not making decisions hoping to get the correct decision via VAR. But that just means soft decisions are getting put through, as the video still shows a brush of contact or whatever.

    Then we have the Celtic ref giving it one angle & 10 seconds – so although we want it quickly, rushed decisions are equally inefficient.

    Goals have lost their immediate impact, offsides are a complete farce, I think I preferred knowing you’ll never get a penalty in front of the Kop to this.

    Before that Liverpool goal against fulham, I at least thought, okay well offsides are 100% factual. Then I see a goal that I know is offside, and then I hear all this about a “thicker line”.

    Now i dont know what to think. Joao Pedro goal against villa is clearly offside in the frozen image, then his foot is pointing a different direction on the VAR version

    I dont know anymore

    Just get rid of it.

    The game will be purer, cleaner and more enjoyable for the match going fan.

    Refs are just utterly incompetent. The sheer absence of consistency is ridiculous.

    Arsenal is the prime example, obviously. But not a single week has gone by without at least one major ref blunder. That is an unacceptable situation.
    Germany and France manage to have a good level of ref performances, so why cant the biggest league in the world? Bc the other compromised boys club that is pgmol. That cesspool needs serious restructuring before we can even think about improving the overall level

    Absolutely. Who needs objective lines and high-definition slow-motion when we can go back to the good old days? There was nothing more immediate and impactful than a striker being three yards offside and the linesman just staring into the sun. That’s the authentic, goose-killing experience we’re missing

    They have to use it only for corners , throw ins , card yellow or red , and for offside they have to make them 3 uses per team
