Personally in favour of VAR. It’s the muppets using it that are the issue. Son just put the ball in the net in this game and they didn’t even review the offside at the correct angle.
Also Forest scored vs Villa yesterday and you could clearly see the line used to rule it out was not pararrel to the half way line.
What just happened in this game just now is exactly why VAR is a good thing. Sterling handled to ball and scored. Ref missed it. VAR ruled it out.
Spurs got away with 2 red cards already with Oliver as red the cheat.

Udogie one was slightly lucky. If the ref gave the on field decision VAR wouldn’t have overturned.
Romero one, not a red for me. Petulant but not dangerous.
Udogie was more than slightly lucky.
Can't two foot someone, even if he missed, and have it stay a yellow card.
This game is a reason why VAR is so bad. So many long stoppages that slow the game watching experience down.

But it’s fixing the errors and making sure decisions are correct. I’m all for it. This is great drama.
VAR did well, let Romero stay on knowing the thug would do something else stupid. I don't see why so many rate him, all I see him do is dive in - if he gets the ball it is luck not judgement. Horrible caaaant, poor defender.

I still maintain that if VAR was binned off forever no one would really miss it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I watched Wrexhams cup game with Mansfield on Saturday where there was no VAR.
Wrexham should have had two penalties both conceded by the same player that the ref missed.
All the commentators could go on about was how they would have been given with VAR.
If Chelsea can win today and next game, the title race becomes more interesting lol.
Spurs season over in 45 mins.

Errors are part of the game. Football existed for ages with the mistakes in there. This half has lasted 15 mins longer than it should have with all the loooong stoppages. Just ruins the flow.

VAR is needed, as is a better version of it needed. It's the assistant refs in the VAR box, the tools at their disposal, and the authorities in charge making it useless
Sheppey conceded a goal where the keeper had the ball under control in his hands. Very obvious foul, but given. Luckily it wasn't key, because it was a horrendous decision that VAR would have been able to rule out very quickly.
I think the fact that the club is run with no soul and just a fixation with ticking over and dishing out the Glazier dividend cheques is a bigger problem. That and the fact your team is 5hit 😂
Chelsea could have had probably 10 if they timed there runs better and had better finishing.
Is Ange any good? High line with no pressure on the ball with 9 men.

Unless VAR can be used correctly and for all levels of the FA Pyramid, not just the Premier League... then it should be binned and we go back to refs making realtime decisions like they used to.
Only idiots say this.
You need to start watching the games while comprehending what would happen if there was no VAR. Incidences that would absolutely blow up aren't even noticed.
It takes some effort to understand what one is not experiencing at any one moment. So many goals would have been ruled out or unfairly allowed. When VAR saves the day people just breeze over it.
VAR stays. The major problem with VAR is implementation, especially in England. This wouldn't be so stoopid if you were asking for improvements instead of removal. I watch La Liga and Serie A and they have 3D offside and it takes a jiffy to call. Meanwhile in England we are still drawing lines. Why? We are the richest league, no?
The problem with VAR is the human element.
F-ck VAR, human error is part of the game for me. VAR will never eradicate that but adds so much dead air when they’re looking at incidents, it just ruins the game for me while not making decisions 100% correct so is pointless.
No matter what, refs will always be annoying tw-ts, lets let’s just let them be annoying tw-ts without VAR.

some of us have 'watched' football for a longtime before VAR came in and the contreversy was never as bad or as intense at it is now. Its literally ruining the game. Especially for those who are actually 'watching' the games in the stadium. VAR is designed for the TV viewers and gives the television companies easy content to fill to film time before during and after the games with their 'match annalysis'. People in the stadiums (Old Trafford anyway) dont really know wtf is going on on with a VAR call. It ruins the whole match experiences.
