VAR...

[TonyTheTigerKiller]

Am I the only one who absolutely detests this subjective instrument? As far as I’m concerned, it’s just a legal validation of the rampamt discrimination against small teams. While England will almost certainly win a VAR argument against Scotland, Nigeria will almost certainly lose one against an Argentina. We saw it at the last men’s World Cup, twice in one game, when Nigeria were denied an obvious penalty and the clotheslining of Iheanacho in the penalty box was blatantly ignored


Cheers.

Uncle, I have been watching the WWC and the Euro Nations cup and I am like, where was this when we played FIFA favourite Argentina? Even ball to hand is being called as PK due to VAR. Once ya hand extend a little bit... regardless of intention, it is called.

It is usually called only when you’re the favored team. As I’ve already pointed out, they didn’t give Nigeria the obvious call against Argentina. Do you really believe that had the situation been reversed, Argentina would not have been awarded a penalty

There are flaws in the VAR system but it is still better than leaving it to the ref and linesman. With all the technology we have in 2019, we should not be having situations were legit goals are being ruled out as offside. Think about the goal Wydad scored in the CAF champions league final. I don't blame the ref or linesman for not seeing that the goal was legit. The movement of the players was so fast and the linesman cannot keep his eye on the position of several players at the same time. Yes, those kinds of calls were once an accepted part of the game but it shouldn't be the case in 2019 with the technology we have now.

Var was created to eliminate African teams.

VAR hasn’t removed anything from the ref’s hand. The final decision ultimately still rests with the ref and he is still free to apply his personal prejudices

It has. On multiple occasions now we've seen decisions given that the ref (and viewers) initially totally missed but was caught by VAR. I know VAR is not perfect and is currently being applied more strictly for the favoured teams but in the area of goals, with VAR at least you know that if you score a legit goal you stand a better chance of not being robbed.

[cic old boy]

I am a big fan of VAR.

[kajifu]

I will wait and see how they apply it in premier league.
If it against small teams then I will not support it.

...that baffle me too much.
A player so close to the kick/shot, how him or her go quickly react to remove hand.
The VAR human review judgement is being used to suffocate some teams.
