The VAR thread

I think it’s quite clear and apparent now, that wasted time is never add on, no matter how often the referee points disapprovingly at his watch.

Certainly anti World Cup like !

Thought the refereeing and VAR was spot on today. Howard Webb must have given that lot at OT a proper bollocking.

 

minor gripe is not awarding more extra time for the arses dropping like flies and rolling around like they are dying

You can bet had Arsenal not won there would have been a lot of fuss over a couple of decisions that went against them apparently.

 

Even your Gary agree one was dubious..

 

Not seen them myself .

We've been seriously unlucky lately.

This challenge, the Sabitzer challenge and then 2 or 3 offside decisions we've been on the wrong side of. 

 

VAR officials have had a lot of issues this year, missing some absolutely huge issues. The entire officiating in England needs a massive rejig.

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Small club mentality I know but can’t help feeling if this (like the Sabitzer one) is against a “big 6” team then both are sent off. 

[StanSP]

We generally just don't make a fuss of anything to refs. We're too nice. A soft touch. 

 

Did anyone even go to the ref to say anything? Literally every other club has players that do it. Doesn't even have to be abusive of course. Just pressure them. Castagne gets on the end of a potential red card and the players just accept the free kick. 

 

Weak. 

[irishfoxkev]

He should have got a 2nd yellow towards end of the first half for his challenge on Faes who was jumping to head ball clear. 

Alcaraz made no attempt to jump and compete for the ball just ran into Faes  when he was off the ground. Even in rugby that sort os a challenge is a yellow/sinbinning offence

100% this.

 

We kick off more and there's a chance both Sabitzer and Alcaraz go and we get points from both matches.

[Les-TA-Jon]

Also no yellow for Ward-Prowse when he deliberately elbowed Maddison in the head. No hint of a review. Then he got booked in the 2nd half...

Insane admission if true. Does give some weight to thought that it is entirely arbitrary as a system of rules and that it may even be subject to threat of corruption if this is actually how it’s being run.

I was wondering where your comment was going until you hear the final few seconds.

 

'some weeks the VAR are told to do it and not to do it'.

 

Incredulous if that is accurate from Walton.

I assume Walton hasn’t explained himself too well there 

we’ve all seen a weekend where var makes a few howlers and then the next weekend, those same calls are all picked up.  I think that’s what he was getting at 

[Will1981]

surely a red card for Bruno?

100%, corruption at its finest

Maybe  as thought he was very lucky but would it have changed your game plan so far ?

[cityfanlee23]

Blatant corruption. 

[matty98]

How many blatant red card challenges has VAR allowed against us now?

[FrankieADZ]

the one on Faes at Old Trafford when we was on top during the game too

 

like whats the dam point now, it all just ****ing stinks, this season has seen some god awful decisions 

im sort of glad we are going down, cos its a shitshow in the premier league 

[Buzzard]

It wasn't a red. Come off it.
