[Football] VAR this season

[Iggle Piggle]

Just watched the end of the Villa game. Goal chalked off for at best a 50/50 decision. Would be seriously pissed off if that was us.

That said, We've had little to no VAR this season in the Premier League. It's been a marked improvement on last year so far with the semi automatic lino to come. Can't remember a thread on here either.

Have they got it right in the premier league? Should we give a bit of credit where it's due?*

*The 2nd yellow for Baleba excepted but that's an on field ref balls up not a VAR one.

Denied Villa a winner, so the VAR decision was 100% correct.

Still not improved the experience in the ground

Technically (decision making). Got to say much improved, the media and us don’t spend Mondays analysing a catalogue of huge and costly gaffs at the weekend. Must be down to Howard Webb’s leadership. But still errors, perhaps to do with the dumb ethos that refs can’t overruled unless clear and obvious, when they were plainly wrong.

Shame about the delays to truly celebrate a goal though.

I'd sat it's better - Written decisions on screen etc -but still a way off pre VAR and nowhere near cricket at a test match.

The Norgaard red card exemplifies why VAR should not get involved in judgemental decisions and why refs should stick to their guns.

Ref does not give a red. VAR sends him to the monitor and he inevitably gives a red. Which is then overturned on appeal........
