Will VAR Change Football for the Better?
Discussion
Not a fan, but seems like all the managers etc want it so it will happen. Repeatedly watching endless replays will get annoying if it happens several times every half. Perhaps there should be a time limit for the VAR to alter the referee's decision - give them 30 seconds, if it's inconclusive in that time, just carry on.

They won't be using it to decide if there was a shirt pull or not. The game would never get started.
They will eventually. We were always promised goal line technology wasn't the thin end of the wedge, and it would stop with that. I knew that was a lie. It won't be long before every disputed throw in is vetted. Especially after a big match is decided with a goal from a throw in awarded the wrong way. TwigtheWonderkid said:

I'm not too sure about that as a second yellow has the same result to a team as a straight red.

it's a penalty-claim decision for which, I'm led to understand, VAR can be used.Mondschein said:

It would utterly ruin the game if every time a player went down the game had to be stopped to view the incident from countless different angles to see if a shirt tug took place. A shirt tug shouldn't cause a player to fall anyway and the last thing we need is more people falling to the ground to open a debate if that little touch or tug was enough to justify a penalty.
If they started doing that people would turn off fast.
I didn't watch any of the semi finals, but it didn't appear to get used much?

It would utterly ruin the game if every time a player went down the game had to be stopped to view 20 players from countless different angles to see if a shirt tug took place. A shirt tug shouldn't cause a player to fall anyway and the last thing we need is more people falling to the ground to open a debate if that little touch or tug was enough to justify a penalty.

It is a valid reason as will be demonstrated at some point in the future. Whether people "would turn off fast" is irrelevant. And it's not "every time a player went down" just when the referee suspects foul play but can't decide. Just like any other challenge in the box where a player is brought down or unfairly impeded but the referee wants a third party to judge the issue.

And neither was there any shirt pulling in the penalty area - coincidence? Or are players now aware that the system is operational?Gassing Station | Football | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
