| VAR on 17:15 - Apr 18 by QPR_John |
"If it were to get binned, for whatever reason, I guess everyone who has been against it will all keep quiet every time an official get's it wrong?"
But that is not the point. Is it possible in a fast moving game like football to get every decision correct. To even approach that level every decision would have to be checked by VAR and games would go on for hours. As I said earlier the only way I can see VAR working is to only use it after the game has been stopped and give the manager/captain a set number of successful appeals. But of course that will never happened as the authorities cannot allow a system whereby a referees decision is shown to be wrong by the players. [Post edited 18 Apr 2018 17:18]

"Is it possible in a fast moving game like football to get every decision correct. " - But it hasn't been possible otherwise they wouldn't have needed technology to overcome the endless hours on TV, Radio, forums etc discussing bad decisions.
Lampard's 'goal' for England v Germany was so blatantly over the line yet it was missed by at least two of the officials who should have seen it.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love every decision to be correct, the Ashley Young/Shaun Derry incident still rankles with me/us, but they haven't been since probably the first ref's whistle blew in the late 1800's. |  |
