1. A mistake is a mistake. 2. Because the people operating VAR and the refs don't really know what they're doing/the rules on use of VAR are shit. 3. Becausethe officials don't always know what they are doing. I agree 110% with your final point. I feel like our games are part of an undeclared...

No, it is the laws that are flawed, and some of the process, not everything. That, offside? Far cough. I'd take it on the chin were it a 'clear blue daylight' rule. Change the laws. The flawed part of the process, as discussed on 606 (but interrupted before the conversation was complete) is we...

Very good reply. So what do you want to happen? Several people have made suggestions about how to incorporate VAR into the game in a better way. Are you adamant that the only way forward is to get rid of VAR? I can understand your arguments, and I am not a betting man but I would be prepared...

If it continues to be several minutes there could well be repercussions. It will have to be faster. Humans are clever, though and solutions will be forthcoming. How about this: a 30 second rule. For offsides if VAR can't check the pix in 30 seconds the VAR team should be sacked. For handball...

Yes, yes, I agree with every word! I want VAR to be quick and I want laws changed so VAR informs (some) different decisions to the ones we have seen this season that have caused the most venting. I want VAR used better. My ire is directed at folk who object to VAR because they appear to think...

Yes, that's right (my point). VAR is CCTV? Yes, perhaps. So, you are against CCTV, then? ??? Perhaps a better analogy for VAR would be the blood alchohol test. Anyway, you know what I mean, and you disagree, so there we are. :shrug::thumbsup:

Not when I saw the reply and the VAR decision. That said, MOTD ran through it so quickly.....and the way they were speaking it was not contestable. But MOTD is backing VAR....to my eye the bodies overlapped, which is why I woke up feeling glum about the goal. I'd like to see the VAR view on...

See reply to Guiness Boy. :shrug: People who would rather have a wrong decision than wait for VAR. Here is another one. If my kiddy gets a rash I would rather rely on my next door neighbour's assessment that have to schlep all the way into town with the nipper to check with the doc if it's...

Of course. I agree. I am assuming that the repeated comments on here and in real life dating back to before VAR that an offside call when only a nose hair was offside is against the spirit of the game. Given that VAR will allow a very precise estimate of whether it is offside or not, why not...

:facepalm: I was taking the piss with my analogy. Taking the piss out of folk who think that using VAR to reach a correct decision is taking all the fun out of the game and they would rather have an instant incorrect decision.

I think I have said this now more time's than I have said 'lucky I have X on ignore': change offside to 'clear blue daylight' and people won't feel cheated if an offside is missed then called 30 seconds later by VAR. Get rid of the new handball rules, particularly the one that says an accidental...

Exactly my view (the thread title).
