All my own views on VAR are covered there.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah agreed me too. I think I'd be happy to give it another season should the auto offside be introduced. I would say the officials are at their worst with it now after the Liverpool incident.
Needs a massive re vamp, needs people running it that know about football
VARxit
After these bent refs do us over, Spurs fans will be the first to cry for it back in some form.
VAR just needs fine tuning with the aid of technology. Semi automated offsides should solve a few issues.
They should also stop referees from reviewing replays in slow motion to make the whole clear and obvious argument - clear and obvious. This would also save time which is the main frustration of alot of fans.
VAR ain’t the issue, it’s the fools making the decisions when reviewing.
The automated offside tech will be a massive improvement.
The concept of VAR is absolutely fine, as is the technology, IF it had just stuck to the original aims. As ever, the powers that be have made it far more complicated than was ever intended, to the point it’s trying to micromanage ever aspect of the game … and as such it’s pretty disastrous. Simplify it massively, or bin it.
It'll get better, meanwhile its shining light on terrible football laws made by people who never played the game which are upheld by people who never played the game who are backed up by themselves on VAR.
Hopefully it forces a much needed change in an area of the sport thats been long overdue.
This vote, when it comes up, will be the biggest' Careful what you wish for' ever.
Someone's going to get a couple of bad calls and be crying for VAR.
Could be a title losing error, or an error leading to relegation.
Semi automated offsides and goal line only. Let the officials ref the game, as poor as they are.
‘The problem is not VAR, it is the officials. Overturn all mistakes, doesn’t matter whether they are clear and obvious’
---
This sums up people who have a false belief that all decisions can be objective. It's idiot fans that are the problem, not refs. Go watch tennis
To my mind officials quite often get it wrong even with VAR. The technology itself is fine.
Just learn HOW to use it!
We’ve benefited hugely from VAR but the feeling you can’t celebrate a goal anymore has really sucked the life out of football.
I don’t know if getting rid of var is the best thing though but if we keep it they need to be faster with it.
No slow motion
No drawing lines ( hopefully semi automatic will help )
Stop with clear and obvious as it’s so ambiguous
You could not play modern tournament tennis without the equivalent of VAR, the eagle eye.
Do away with VAR and I guarantee, one season without it and....you'll want it back!
Don't these 2 paragraphs contradict each other?:
"However, 56 per cent of those Spurs fans voting would be happy to support the use of VAR if it was restricted to semi-automated offside decisions and nothing else. Adopting semi-automated offside technology is clearly seen as a step forward with 71 per cent voting in favour of its introduction if VAR stays."
"Finally, 52 per cent voted in favour of ending the use of VAR regardless of further improvements illustrating that, although supporters clearly want VAR in its current incarnation in the Premier League scrapped, 48 per cent would be open to seeing it remain if improvements were made."
VAR or no VAR, Spurs will still be shafted by the officials one way or another, look at last season, just 2 penalties given when Chelsea had 12, Varpool and Woolwich had 10.
Spurs never got a decision after that offside goal and subsequent fortnight long outpouring of grief / hard luck stories after the Varpool match.
That is the one massive flaw with VAR, the same clowns on the pitch are sat in the VAR studio, they are influenced by outside noise, bottle decisions against certain clubs / managers and give certain clubs the benefit of doubt more often than others.

Yeah the spurs offside goal against Liverpool was a great example of this 😆
VAR needs to be scrapped. Destroying the game and absolutely awful for fans that actually go to games which obviously doesn't include anyone on this thread or forum.

It doesn't bother me but then again I'm not a wet blanket like you. Either way a decision is made and should be taken on the chin.
They will improve the time it takes to makes a decision and make it more seamless. Automated offsides, as proved in the CL final last night were quick and the game moved on.

Who the hell is varpool? You ever going to grow up "billy"?
It’s took VAR for us to get a penalty for a literal boot in the Crown Jewels. I’m all for VAR if it is utilised right. The CL officiating puts the PL to shame imo.

Varpool is Billy's hilarious name for Liverpool. I wish he would stop using it though as it makes me laugh uncontrollably every time I read it.
