Oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please… 🤞🤞🤞
I don’t want them scrapped, I want them outsourced and fully independent.
We’ll still have games being stopped for interminable checks, we’ll still have goals not being celebrated as much as they would have been due to their provisional nature, we’ll still have incorrect decisions, and we’ll still have an uneven playing field depending on what tier a team plays in.
The personnel watching the screens won’t change any of that.
Scrap the referees, keep the video
I have no basis for this theory, but I still believe that the FA and/or PGMOL deliberately fucked up the implementation and use of VAR as much as they could, so that after a few seasons it would be scrapped.
I don’t think so, I just think VAR is not something that can ever really work in football.
Seems to work decently in most other leagues and tournaments. Maybe not perfectly, but better than before and WAY better than in the PL.
This is so dumb… the only reason I even watch football is the malicious glee I get when a dumb celebration is cancelled after VAR clearly shows it was an invalid goal.
The Premier League’s figures show the number of correct decisions in matches has increased from 82% before VAR was introduced to 96% currently. With semi-automated offside technology due to be introduced early next season, it is felt that figure will increase even further.
So these people want to have 1/5 of the decisions be wrong again in order to win. How amazingly convenient.
