The whole thing must be costing tens of millions but it's just not made anything better. If anything, it's getting worse as everyone is losing their mind over what is and isn't a clear and obvious error.
With simulation now basically a professional skill, mastered at the highest level by the best players, we're wasting millions asking referees to have degrees in physics to work out whether contact is sufficient to cause an action.
Bin it. It costs a fortune and we're no better off. |  | | |  |

But how would those poor referees pay their bills if they don't have the extra income from being at Stockley House? |  |

I'm blind I'm deaf I wanna be a ref. |  | | |

VAR have been told not to get involved. Why can't refs follow the rugby league model and admit that they didn't see enough to make an informed decision and would like VAR to make the decision. I think football refs are too afraid of mistakes in case Alan Shearer and Co tear them apart. |  | | |

Genuinely they need to stop staffing it with referees and start hiring fresh. It needs to be a role for an analyst, someone who hasn't reffed before but could understand and apply the laws etc. that's the biggest mistake for me - when you just put the refs in front of a TV instead of the pitch it just causes the same issues. |
Seriously? You'd rather have an 'analyst' make the decision than someone who will have officiated in excess of 1000 football matches?
I'm baffled; why do you think that's the answer? |  |

If analysts are to have a role, surely it's to analyse referees' performances and to produce a league table. Is big team bias an issue? I'm sure the data is there; they just need to publish it to prevent nebulous statements. Btw, A Burnley supporter friend of mine predicted that we would play two, top four teams in our first two games in the prem. It happened to them the year before. | | | |

All their games are clipped, analysed to the nth degree and an internal league table produced. Happens all the way through the EPL and EFL. The scrutiny they're under is already well beyond what most of us would put up with.
I'm not sure publicly reporting on individuals at that level in today's society would be a wise thing to do. There's already trial by TV and the world is full of nutters. | |

The truth is, two referee's watching a slow motion replay of an incident are still incapable of spotting the difference between a blatant dive and a foul. Not sure what the answer is but the VAR ref's just seem to be just as inconsistent during the course of a game as the ref is in real time. Sadly the Premier League really is corrupt as f**k. as we regularly reminded the ref on Saturday and on many other occasions. If they are not then I cannot see why they would be so wildly inconsistent. |
If VAR doesn’t over rule and give a penalty for Chaplin being flatted against Leicester it’s failed end off.
Refs avoid making decisions relying on VAR to overrule and you end up with even worse referring than in the Championship. It’s one thing I won’t miss next season. | | | |

Goal line technology is all that was needed. Instead we have this sh!te |  |
