VAR failing already

Arsenal denied nailed on penalty because the lad didn't dive as well as Hazzard does.

Unclear what's the point of it is if referees don't utilise it properly.

System wont work at all because the endemic level of simulation in the game.

We still argue about whether a controversial incident is a penalty after 30 replays these days. I am watching ESPN right now and two of the pundits are in disagreement with other two about this penalty shout in tonight's after 20 minutes of discussion, not 20 seconds.

Not the same as cricket at all because of faking and simulation, combined with odd rules like if there is ANY contact it is a penalty.

System should be scrapped before it causes anymore damage. Better rely on judgement of officials in real time on the basis bad decisions often even out over course of season.

Well if you are saying it’s because he did not dive as good as another player you are admitting that he did dive so surely VAR is working by not giving the penalty 🤔

OP - THAT IS NOT TRUE - Contact alone is not a foul in football, almost every tackle and challenge has some contact - think you are maybe too used to watching netball.

There should be a 606 house rule banning threads and comments pertaining to var in the same way players and managers are going to be carded if they make the TV sign....
