[Football] VAR low profile

[Poyningsgull]

Has there been a conscious decision by the TV companies to downplay the reporting of VAR involvement in games. No mention in either the Chelsea or Leicester games even on offside goals. It's as if VAR has gone under the radar.

Saving itself for a total sh*tshow at some point between 19:15 and 21:05.

If one of our players threw an elbow like Callum Wilson on Yerry Mina yesterday, I'd fully expect VAR to be tripping over itself to send them off

Did you miss Saints v Villa yesterday?

Feels like there’s been fewer penalties recently too.

Yes

It was a VAR special.

I agree with you though. Think FA Cup helped but there's definitely been less nonsense the last couple of weeks.

Definite hand ball in the Sots Vill game, referee had arm up after the incident. I am wondering if there was an offside in the build up because the arm up signal was given by the ref and is usually the indicator for offside, although this was never discussed or measured using the usual slide rules.

It does seem to have been much less conspicuous recently. Let's hope this trend keeps going.

A lot of the normal VAR discussion content has disappeared. Thank God for that.
