Another sat night Sunday morning talking about VAR 😖. That aside, I said earlier this season when Sterling was offside by a fingernail, how can you be offside with something you cannot score with. At the moment, dragging two grandkids across the Pennines at all hours over the weekend and watching VAR kill a game, not being able to enjoy a cliffhanger goal with the fear of VAR hanging over your neck is killing the enjoyment for me.
Gonna be a lot of soul searching when it comes to Season ticket renewal for Tash. Quite frankly am pissd off with it all.

Which is why limiting teams to 3 VAR calls each game may help.

Managers can decide what contentious decisions they want to contest. Tried and tested format in cricket and tennis and everybody knows where they stand.

When all 3 have been used you can celebrate that last minute goal knowing that VAR can’t be used👍
 
Just get rid. It's proven not to work for the reason it was introduced. The decisions still boil down to someones opinion and for that they'll always be grey areas. The ref on the pitch will make mistakes and the ref in the studio will do the same as he's under pressure to make the right call within 10-20 seconds or so to avoid the game being held up. Just look at all the wrong and bizarre decisions we've had so far.

It comes down to what it gives and what is detracts from the game and for me, it's taking way more than it gives. Goal line tech or Hawkeye in tennis works as it's a simple yes or no whether the ball was over the line or in/out.

It is a mixed bag of why VAR is having problems. They need to reduce the time it takes for a decision and introduce pitch side monitors to help on field ref. More stadium info would help. I would also like to hear the comms between ref and VAR so that at least we can understand the rationale behind a decision; take a leaf out of rugby’s book.

For me, we need to persist with VAR, but it must improve in clarity and speed.

I hate it but think it would better if it was Ex referees in the van rather than current ones who seem extremely reluctant to make there colleagues look bad.

I thought they had pitch side monitors the refs just don’t / won’t use them.

The quality of refs need to improve.
How that happens I don’t know but TV scrutinises everything they do from 10 different angles.
Maybe TV should only have three cameras allowed. Can’t see that though.

It’s not the amount of VAR that’s the problem.
It’s the time they take and still get the decision wrong.imo.

CC98 this is what is killing it for me.

Let me give you two examples.

Rugby world cup final. SA score a try, ref says over Mic and everyone hears it , exactly what he is looking for. Fans in the stadium and on telly hear that. They know exactly what they are looking at, they are involved, they are educated, they know the rules. They see what they see. They know the ref is correct. They k me the ruling is correct.

Premier league. It goes to VAR. WHY? The fans in the stadium dont know why? Sometimes.the bloody red dont know why. A goal is ruled out. No fuller in the ground knows why. A penalty is given no one knows why yet it takes an age.

Football is going backwards.
 
Good win for Leicester.
They are a nice team to watch as a neutral.
Always look forward, defended really well, young lad put Saha out of the game second half.
Maddison looks better every time I see him.
Vardy must be a nightmare to play against.

I agree it’s not the main issue but i think VAR at the moment is frightened to go against the ref decision. Maybe if VAR had just 2 or 3 interventions maximum a game they could then just focus their minds on getting the right decision regardless.

Very much agreed with all of this

As a neutral they are delightful to watch

Playing better football now than when they won the title lol
 
Good win for Leicester, I had a feeling we would do well after securing Tielemans during the Summer. Have a similar feeling now as when we won the league, but The difference is that Liverpool and Man City are way better than the opposition then.

Top four and Champions League football has to be the (ambitious) target and next week against Arsenal will show if we can maintain the gap to 5th.
