Get rid of VAR NOW! We want our game back! (...or not, some are happy)

VAR - Love or Hate?

I would like to see VAR evolve to a system where teams challenge calls/situations that the do not agree with. Tennis has the best review system. The umpire does not initiate a review on each close call. Players challenge calls that they don't agree with and they have a certain number of times they can be incorrect before they run out of challenges.

One example could be:

Now with every team getting 5 substitutions, those could be leveraged in the challenges. If a team feels a call is incorrect they can initiate VAR. If the call is changed in their favor, they keep all of their substitutions. If the call stands, they lose a substitution.

Reviewing every big call is getting time consuming and tedious. If it moves to a challenge system we will see less millimetre offside and nit picky reviews. Teams will only want to challenge if they feel they have a good chance of overturning the call on the field.

It’s because they’re Not even in the room sometimes are they? I doubt they’re watching it religiously and are just eating biscuits waiting for a goal to rule out or the ref to ask them something. Well they’re obviously not watching it with a close eye or they would have seen that

They could have been taking the day off for all i care but if that lineman can't see that even in its peripheral vision then there's no hope.
 
He kind of sweeps Bruno at the same time. Its a weird one.

Its not as if VAR gave it, cant see why it gets any blame

Because they can watch it more than once. They’ve watched it and thought, yeah that’s the right decision.
 
Very clearly not a penalty. Hard to see the point of VAR when they're not reversing that.
 
That was never a penalty. Thank God we have VAR to get these decisions right.
 
I thought it was a penalty, Bruno had the ball and the defender was nowhere near it. Went through him.
 
I genuinely can’t work that one out.

He over committed and could never have anticipated Bruno’s roulette and he definitely impeded Bruno so I can understand it being given on that basis but equally what Bruno did was so unconventional and seemingly out of control and it felt like it was his fault more than anything.

Or the ref has said he has seen it clearly and its a pen? The ref has a perfect view of it and if his minds made up then its on him
 
the player stopped a yard from Bruno who jumps and lands halfway up the defenders shin, not a penalty in the slightest, if anything its dangerous play by Bruno
 
Disgraceful decsion the refs should be sent packing. Could cost villa their safety.
 
We won't be relegated because of that but still annoying given how well we were doing at 0-0. Man. United are playing well enough without needing cheap penalties all the time.

More annoying is how I naively assumed VAR wouldn't be manipulated and we'd get more fair decisions. Just mates looking out for other mates when they're looking at decisions.

Give we now have drink breaks in each half it's also ridiculous they're still saying refs going to monitors would slow down the game. Insult to people they don't go for a look when it's a decision like that.

The only thing he did was exaggarate the pain, defender clearly went through him. The trailing leg would have got him down as well.

ok you're clearly just trolling the contact is initiated by Bruno who lands halfway up the defenders shin, if he was also diving for a penalty the defender ends up with a badly broken leg

Keep posting stills of the stamp, thats your only argument here tbf.

I really hope Bruno 'jumps' into Soyuncu in a few weeks.
 
Have to say it’s never a pen. But as I’ve said before VAR is still relying on subjective decision making which is why it’s a pointless addition to the game. Just spreads more confusion
 
I don't see why people are blaming var for this? Its a penalty for some and not a penalty for some depending on your view. Bruno definitely initiated contact but at the same time where exactly is he supposed to land, the defender didn't give him any space and definitely impeded him. Var can't interfere on this one.
 
Was a strange one. Can see why the ref gave it in real time but can’t see why it wasn’t overturned. Stockley park not wanting to show up the on field official most likely.
 
Think maybe because it has to be a clear and obvious error from the ref to overturn, which it wasnt

That makes sense as a rationale in isolation, but when you see goals being chalked off cos the striker's toenail was offside, it's no wonder people bemoan the inconsistent application.
 
Could be easily fixed if the ref on the pitch was made to look at the incident himself. They don't dare to overturn each others rulings if it isn't blatantly obvious.

It's a real nonsense that should be called out now given the near two minute drinks breaks in each half.
