how does a VAR decision in 1 game affect what happens in a game without it?

assuming you think VAR gets the best decisions (a jump i know) then surely you us in which ever games you can

why not use in most games because you cant use it in all?

how is it big club syndrome? theoretically works for or against them depending on the decision

This is mentioned every year. City Won at Swansea a couple of years ago, VAR would of over ruled the decision and City are out. But Swansea never had VAR.They did the season before and it was taken out coz they were relegated. Whats the idea behind that. Suffice to say City won the FA cup that year.

Its not a level playing field though is it?

It also makes a mockery of the competition.

They don't play with different balls, or have different size goals so why should VAR be used in one game and not the other?

instead of asking why should it, why not give reasons why it shouldnt?

why it should; "supposedly" to achieve the best decisions possible in the games where it is available without changing the decisions in other games

but why should the bigger teams get the advantage of ref correction over the smaller teams?

why are they getting the advantage? their opponents get the same corrections

Sorry Fundy you're right each games are level but each rounds aren't. You're getting wrong decisions rightly overturned in the Arsenal game but wrong decisions not changed in others. That's not right imo.

For me, it's either every game has the same technology whether it's VAR or Goal line tech or non.

It now doesn’t bother me about VAR as I stopped watching premier league 2 seasons ago, but different sport, do all courts at Wimbledon have Hawkeye. If not could that be a similar comparison as generally only the top players will have use of the technology.

I kind of understand people want everything the same, the bit i dont understand is people saying its not a level playing field and thats sides are getting an advantage when thats clearly not the case

Oh dear, Leeds United!

 

[fundy]

About time we heard Bielsa praised for his style of play again lol

 

[fundy]

surely time for Crawley to bring on a reality tv star at 3-0 to really rub it in

 

[Tashyboy]

Oh dear, Leeds United!

Leeds United have called for an immediate replay against Crawley Town in the FA Cup because one of the plumbers in midfield Isn't Corgi registered!

Suspect that if the Leeds players were golfers they turned pro off mid teen handicap....

Just been upto Crosby beach for a walk with family and took a walk down by Marine's ground, there's a special buzz around there. Could they pull it off today?? Doubt it but they'll be 100% on it.

Come on Marine!!

Very professional performance by Tottenham first half. Certainly helped by the quality of the pitch. All credit to the ground staff far superior to Crawleys effort

Ave gotta say, it speaks volumes for Jose that he has put out a team to do a job.

Just seen that the FA cup draw for the next round is actually for the next two rounds. So tomorrow nights draw for the last 16 will also include a draw for the last 16.
Now that could be very interesting indeed.
