Surely anyone who understands/loves football knows that VAR in it's current form is horrific I agree and hate it,so far ive yet to see a ref go look at a replay and stick with his decision.

Which would take more time and give you something more to moan about? Surely VAR works well if a referee doesn't have to look at a replay? Is it just me that thinks VAR worked well more often than not in the last 2 games? Majority of goals checked quickly, especially yesterday. Checked the penalty decision fairly swiftly today. I don't agree that VAR needs to check encroachment as we could be there for ages with retakes but for the most part, it did its job? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Leeds Fox Posted 10 August 2019 Share Posted 10 August 2019 Essentially VAR got the decisions right. It hasn't taken ages and led to the right result. All the people complaining will not mind when we finally get a decent correct decision away at one of the top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Posted 10 August 2019 Share Posted 10 August 2019 VAR will have its teething problems, it can only get better surely, because it can't get any worse?? The main problem at the moment is everyone talking about it, give it a while and hopefully itll all die down. My biggest issue was in the last nights game, twice the lino raised his flag for offside against Norwich and twice he was wrong. If Norwich had gone on to score in both occasions the goals would have been correctly given, but with the lino raising his flag it could have had an affect on the liverpool defence. Haven't seen today's game so don't know what's happened in it really other than what I've read, but the linos have to get get used to not flagging in certain situations and leaving the play to run. There's plenty to iron out with VAR and like I said hopefully it'll get better, because like it or not, it's here to stay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Fox Posted 10 August 2019 Author Share Posted 10 August 2019 Right, I’ve just about calmed down now! Feck knows what I’ll be like when VAR is first used in a game I care about. Moving on, which game does everyone think will be the best of the 3 o’clock kick offs? Thinking about watching Palace Everton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An exaggeration but surely any football fans love the flow and sheer joy of moments like goals. With VAR checking everything you lose that, even watching Sterling's goals today I got the 'well this is getting checked' feeling. Until it is instantaneous its no good for match going fans - goal line technology is superb. Wait until a similar offside technology is created, until then don't ruin experiences by having a system basically being trialled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

what? Posted 10 August 2019 Share Posted 10 August 2019 Does anyone know if there are any detailed explanations of how var is actually working? I'd be interested in seeing how much much machine learning and tech stuff is actually in there or if it's just a bloke looking at the slo motion footage and drawing those lines themselves.

I've not seen any fans wait to celebrate to be honest. They celebrate in the moment, probably not realising VAR is there. Then there's the short lull. Then the post-VAR reaction.

I'd be surprised if machine learning was being used much - I don't think the cameras being used are high enough resolution to get particularly reliable data points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope machine learning isn't being used not just with var but with team's tactics and decisions. I'd ban it. The day that mechanical perfection outshines the entertainment of human brilliance and failures will be the end of the game as entertainment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxxed Posted 10 August 2019 Share Posted 10 August 2019 Glad to see Mahrez do well. Mardy as he was I'm still happy to see one of our trophy winners continue to succeed. Also, no Drinky in the Burnley squad? And Zaha on the bench for Palace? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
