Thread: VAR in the FA Cup

  1. #1

    VAR in the FA Cup

    Is it right to use it as it is only available at Premier League grounds?

    No !
    All or nothing

    Shouldn’t have different rules for different games

    At Anfield will be the first time we experience VAR.
    I hope that the players are coached to cope with it.

    Part of me thinks all or nothing but then it clearly isn't going to be used for the foreseeable at most grounds, similar to goal line tech.

    If the idea is it helps eliminate some errors, then a cup final with it just sitting there unused while Chelsea win 2-1 with Azpilicueta a bus length offside would be a bit weird.

    Liverpool score a 93rd min goal to equalise against us and its disallowed by VAR, yea I'm all for it

    Is it really? For some reason I thought we'd had it

    In what part of life is it fair to those with less prestige in the game , I reckon a court case with find against them , one team goes out for a blatant off side due to no VAR / poor refereeing , the exact incident is referred to VAR then changed .

    Dreadful all or nothing in a single tournament I say

    Weren't the Jacks on the wrong end of a couple of bad decisions against Man City a couple of years ago? If they'd had VAR then Man City's goals wouldnt have stood I think?

    I’m not sure if this is a bad attempt at humour or not, but If not I’m fascinated as to how it would find its way into the coaching manual 😀

    Has there ever been a court case about an offside? We've been having dodgy offside calls for decades.

    Do the early preliminary rounds of the fa cup have fourth officials by the way?

    That’s it isn’t it.
    What I mean is that if the assistants flag goes up you carry on and let VAR attempt to clear it up.

    Apparently it costs £9K to have VAR for a game and the clubs have to pay. (Sauce: Guardian football podcast - they quoted the Shrewsbury chairman).

    That wouldn't be much different to normal. Players always play to the whistle, as the ref can overrule the linesman.

    But linesmen flag late with var so it shouldn't be an issue anyway.

    Re: VAR in the FA Cup

    We have seen VAR in action many times and without any stats on the subject, I'd say that the decisions favour the "better" teams.

    The referee will give what he sees, usually favouring Man Us, Liverpools Chelseas or Citehs of this world and if it's not "clear and obvious" then the refs decision stands.

    Villa's disallowed goal last night was also an example where VAR can look for any misdemeanor, obstructing or fouling an opponent, one that goes on regularly without penalty.

    I doubt in the game City v Liverpool such a decision would swing the result in our favour but on the whole, and in reply to the OP, I say don't have it at all if the facility isn't available at all grounds.

    Re: VAR in the FA Cup

    Judging by the attempts of the VAR officials last night to search out reasons to disallow the Villa goal until they eventually found one, I feel we have no chance.
