The only reason VAR seems to be used now is to find any tiny reason not to give a goal, it’s genuinely making the game worse.
It’s not even like football has that many clear and obvious errors anyway.
QUOTE=Eric the Half a Bee;5184260]Var has improved the flow of games.[/QUOTE]
Really? Take today, the game was held up for quite a while, Man Utd celebrated, the question was raised about the ‘flick off’, VAR was looked at, then the ref went over to the pitchside monitor. Hardly improved the flow of the game.
I believe the referee's decision is still final.
As you say, it has to be clear and obvious for the decision to be overturned.
That's why I think the VAR person is gutless to not to have made the decision himself and bending the rule by putting it back in the referee's court so that he himself has change his original decision.
The referee was weak today and should have stuck by his original decision. He got it wrong IMHO.
Anybody who has played the game at any level, or even watched the game "live" or without the benefit of TV and slow motion, would have said that the goal should have stood for the simple reason that Son was trying to cheat and got caught by the man he was trying to foul. Serves him right!
Unfortunately at the top level these days, common sense gets overruled by idiots using modern technology.
Well the goal that was disallowed today certainly wasn't one of them.
VAR has the potential to be a good thing but the way it is being used is where I see the problem.
Between the referee and the faceless VAR man, they took forever to reach the wrong decision
VAR being absolutely useless hasn't been a shock but just how rubbish it is, is shocking. God it is rubbish. I can't watch PL games now, I immediately put the county cricket back on after that incident. Great run chase at Bristol.
yeah, although I think they're lucky to be in 2nd this time around, their performances don't really warrant that. if Chelsea hadn't stuck with Lampard for so long I suspect they'd be up there.
the number of games man u have won from a losing position is very impressive, but probably not something you want to rely on long term, I doubt it is that repeatable.
they're definitely improved since the previous manager though
What is their xG these days? I remember there was a point on his first good run where it looked like they were winning games they shouldn’t and then it did all go to shit.
Also Spurs aren’t adventurous enough under Jose and it really played into Man United’s hands.
Jose has totally ****ed up spurs in the space of a couple of seasons.
with each subsequent job he takes, his initial success is less and the amount of mess he leaves behind is more.
the season before he joined spurs, they were champions League finalists and now they look set to miss out on European football and Harry kane might be buggering off too.
I can't feel sorry for Spurs as Mourinho was given a king's ransom to buy players by Daniel Levy, this after he wouldn't give Pochettino a penny.
Poch's and Spurs's champions league final defeat was viewed as failure by his boss and he's getting exactly what he deserves.
It must be doubly hard to bear seeing rivals West Ham doing so well, spending very little to boot!
Looks like Mourinho's days are numbered.
You'd have thought so but I honestly thought the same before Man United got him.
Strange how the layman can see it but owners can't.
He is good at deflecting blame though, so I can imagine him being very good when interviewed. His list of titles is impressive, even if they did cost the clubs a fortune!
Watch him go and beat Man City at Wembley then win the Charity shield
I think Mourinho and I like Spurs. But it's not working there is it? But they should finish above Arsenal which is what they care about.
It’s such a shame that VAR came on the scene too late for Bacon Face Ferguson. Can you imagine his reaction to some of the scenarios? Can picture him on the touch line yesterday waiting by the monitor when the ref was walking over to it, would have made great television.
