[Football] VAR does not work for England

[SeagullinExile]

They rig elections without batting an eyelid. If you think for one moment they couldn't or wouldn't influence the outcome of the WC you're gravely naive.

Must of missed that.

Putin wins elections hands down as he's immensely popular.

Anybody who acts to stop US hegemony in the middle east by thwarting their Syrian invasion plans is alright by my book.

Brazil have written an open letter to FIFA asking them to explain why VAR wasn't used. Apparently a foul in the build up to the Switzerland goal (didn't see it), and should have been a penalty for Jesus.

Doesn't look like a pen to me, certainly not clear and obvious so not sure it warrants such a reaction.

It's a World Cup being hosted by Russia. I'm not at all surprised that Tunisia were awarded a soft penalty the only time they ventured into our box. VAR provides the Russian state with a really, really easy way to stack the cards against us. Do you honestly think Russia would allow England to win a World Cup on their turf?

Don't believe all you read in the media.

Despite what you hear and see , not all Russians hate us.

I work closely with a number of clients in Moscow and many of them actually wanted us to win last night.

You missed the arrest of Alex Navalny, the main opposition leader, and the decision to bar him from standing? That was big news even in the UK. It's pretty easy to win elections if you bar any popular opposition.

Tunisian players allowed to rugby tackle in their own area (although the headlock pull down on Kane would have been a penalty in egg-chasing).

The VAR officials had no interest in alerting the Ref to this.

Will the same pattern continue against Panama?

I expect the problem is that the VAR official is sat in an office in Moscow with a gun held to his temple the entire match under pain of death if he ever give a decision for the English. The whole reason the entire ****ing tournament is in Russia is down to corruption in the first place. It's all taking place in a mafia state, not a real country

Don't be ridiculous, people you work with are not running the country, Putin is. The World's richest Mafia boss

Would be the end of VAR if they did. Fifa wont allow that

TBF bringing the death of Jihadi John into a thread about VAR is one of my NSC all time achievements!

Ps this is my chest View attachment 97879

Did you use a Flymo to cut that Sheebo?

And where's your Bulldog Bobby tattoo?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

The ref Just threatened to use Var in the Poland game, that’s not what it’s for ffs

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Putin is nicely setting up the narrative that the VAR misses things and isn't reliable. He'll get the payoff for this later in the tournament.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Syst is fine but outcome depends who is in charge of the tec. Tonight it was three baboons with a thumb up each others' arse.

I guess we just need another VAR team keeping tabs on the performance of the VAR team........that'll solve everything.

Killing the leader of the opposition can help with that.

Ask Boris Nemtsov, Boris Berezovsky, Sergei Magnitsky or Anna Politkovskaya what they think..oh wait, you can't. I wonder why?

 

[SussexSeahawk]

I'm not a fan of VAR - if it was meant to remove contentious issues then it has failed.


With VAR, you will see much more play acting. One of the reasons why I hate it.

In fact the opposite is true. Diving is well down in Italy (roughly 30% down from memory). I know play acting is slightly different, but when there's no VAR you see play acting for all sorts of crap. At least with VAR they can only over-act something that actually happened. The turkish player doesn't get sent off when he kicks the ball at Rivaldo if there was VAR (and players will slowly learn this and reduce the needless playacting).

Vindicating Arab Restling is what VAR stood for last night

"The system has come under fire for the way it can isolate fans at the grounds while those watching on TV have access to replays.
But the Premier League voted on Wednesday to end this and display a ‘definitive’ replay to the crowd at the match, where one is available."

[Easy 10]

The key word being "definitive"

Would they have shown the Sissoko 'handball' against the Dippers on Saturday ? Hmmm, probably not.

Was that given by the ref, or VAR?

 

[Easy 10]

So if they DON'T show the review on the big screens, then by definition it means that the incident/decision was not considered "definitive"

Even though VAR is only supposed to be used to correct "clear and obvious errors".

Makes perfect sense dunnit
