Rules VAR

Yet another VAR farce. I won't use the word laughable because it's nothing laughable about match fixing by the officials themselves.
Again, no one can convince me that VAR in the EPL is NOT corrupted.
How come that with just one look at the reply a person with no ref experience easily can see that it was never a corner

They aren’t allowed to intervene in decisions like that…..so what’s the fucking point of it.Yet another VAR farce. I won't use the word laughable because it's nothing laughable about match fixing by the officials themselves.

VAR is supposed to iron out errors....
Fuck does it..
It's now easier to manipulate decisions as they see fit.
Sky holds the cards,they want people talking about it.
Controversy gets people involved.

Very glad to see this.
Football was more fun to watch before this, and that's what counts. Get rid.
Going to get some laughs when this is introduced to the Prem 
I think we underestimated the mindset of referees and gave them far too much unoposed authority.
There NEEDS to be fans/fan groups involved in deciding what is and isn't checked and how it's checked. We can't allow refs to referee the fun out of games. Equally, once a routine for what they do is approved by all parties, they cannot be allowed to get it "wrong"
Incidents like the Diaz goal being ruled out should be a major discipline issue. You can (just about) accept a ref dropping a a bollock live but there's absolutely no excuse for 3 guys with slow motion replays to ever get a decision wrong.

It should be made abundantly clear to the rule makers that this is NOT what paying fans want to see..
They didn't get the slow motion replay wrong, they said it should have counted but fucked up communicating it. Pretty sure they were disciplined and then they changed the process so that won't happen again.
Var will always take away more than it gives back. Case in point those who said it would stop diving in the area when it's increased as any contact now means it might be given
That was one example off the top of my head. VAR have got a lot wrong since its inception.

There have been a total of 13 video assistant referee (VAR) mistakes in the Premier League so far this season, say league bosses.

They're boasting that mistakes are down. There shouldn't BE mistakes.
And that is with them "marking their own homework"That was one example off the top of my head. VAR have got a lot wrong since its inception.

The general public would say there has been a hell of a lot more than 13 mistakes, but all comes back to the way they judge "referees call" where lots of fouls are given for significantly less than they are not given for, but they say all of those decisions are right.
Fucking. HELLA. Lot.
I had the same thought but a shoulder CHARGE is a foul. I cannot understand what a shoulder charge is, if it’s not that.
Should have been a penalty for me.
Two incidents that were less obvious barges than this were called fouls today. Make it make sense
