VAR is going to ruin this World Cup 19:37 - Jun 12 with 3537 viewsSpruceMoose

Mark my words. Duncan Goodhew has made a shocking decision here.

Totally agree.

I can see so many games being decided by soft penalties and players trying to use it to their advantage, something England will inevitably be rubbish at too.

No doubt there will be some kind of VAR controversy which sends England home against someone like Colombia.

At the crucial moment, some intern will trip over a cable plunging the system into darkness. At that very moment a corner will be directed goalwards by Gary Cahill's buttock, crossing the line by inches, before being hoofed away by the ghost of Carlos Valderama.

Goal disallowed. England exit.

Football should be run by men, and not computers. This is so obvious !

I watch highlights on Sky Sports News of the MLS and it seems like every game over there uses VAR...multiple times in a single game at times.

We have Dele Alli.
He trips over the painted white line of the penalty area.

Don't believe a word I say. I'm only kidding. Or am I?

Oh yeah, I'm not suggesting we have the moral high ground over diving, just that we're not very good at it.

See Sterling's 'effort' against Nigeria for exhibit A.

I seen a few games on TV that has VAR, and every one of those games has been turned into a farce at times due to the ref using VAR.
I have said it before that VAR will ruin football as a spectacle and it will.

Don't need VAR for that - the goal-line technology would resolve that one.

Or officials with eyes that work.

I remember being in a hotel room in Copenhagen watching that. Wanted to trash the place after coming to the conclusion that no, they weren't joking, it really wasn't being allowed.

If that had been counted I maintain to this day we would have gone on to give them a hiding.

So far over the line. We were in the ascendancy then. Took all the wind out of our sails.

They should have left it at goal line technology as I think most fans were happy with this.

Did you see that the officials reviewing the VAR in the Moscow control room are going to have to wear referees tracksuits like the officials at pitchside.

"The reason is at the end they sweat as much as someone on the field, because the tension is very high," Collina said.

Excellent.

It'll make for fantastic TV. That's all anyone cares about these days.

Finally, a new role for full kit w@nker John Terry.

Like it or not, you're not on the side of history boys - unless it be the ancient variety. VAR will attract the same amount of controversy that everything does in this my-opinion-too age. And it will cause frustration, argument - and eventually settle to being thought indispensable. Mind you, playing football under artificial light will never catch on.

You're almost certainly right, and I'm not against it per se.

However, I'm also convinced, in it's current muddled guise, it will have a hugely detrimental impact on this world cup.

Hope I'm wrong.
