Handball outside the area, can’t intervene because they don’t think it’s a red
Defender plays balls in penalty area, can’t intervene because it’s not a big enough mistake
So both decisions stay with the on field decision.
Just bin it. |  | | |  |

I think fans would be more accepting of VAR if it had all but stopped bad decision making. But if anything it's the reverse. Every game seems to involve some sort of controversial decision and the general opinion is a lot of these decisions are wrong.
Why ? well basically because it involves humans making a decision, just as it did before when a referee made his decision. These decisions are wide open to bias and it happens time and again. I recently watched a Man Utd game where a defender caught an opposing player half way up his leg. You would think a red card. Wrong, absolutely zilch and yet we have had a player sent off for that and also the opposition had a sending off for a tackle on Omari.
Truthfully where is the point in VAR ? Just a costly waste of money. Jobs for the boys. Time wasted whilst waiting decisions and no better than a referee and his lines persons. |  | | |

Binning it would have been the same outcome on those close to call decisions. Probably just about a red but still would have felt a little harsh. Second half it changed a key decision for a clear offside.
Net result is VAR resulted in more correct decisions then if if hadn't been used. There wasnt tons of time taken. People love to moan about it. Absolutely love to but ultimately today it improved the decision making.
Without VAR there is all the same moaning about wrong decisions. People have just decided that we were all fine with all the rubbish decisions before VAR. The stuff VAR get wrong is still human error. It will continue to get automated and get better. | |

Completely agree -it’s a rubbish system and actually leaves more to interpretation in situations like those today. Either make it completely black and white or stop it. | | | |

It didnt improve decisions today. It made two bad ones.
And delayed matters, taking away all teh spontaneity.
I would rather have the imperfections of human decisions made instantly, than made after a delay which saps all the joy out of a goal. | | | |

The guy thought he'd scored for about 5 minutes before it was taken away. Unacceptable. Bin it until the tech is ready to judge offside in the build up before or immediately after a goal is scored. |  |

It was a clear enough offside that any competent linesman would have flagged for it anyway. | | | |

What is a huge concern to me is the human decision of whether or not to have a VAR intervention. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I see this as another way to tilt the field in favour of the big teams. Referee gives the big team a decision - no intervention. Referee gives the little team a decision - whoaa, time for VAR to review it and overturn it. Premier League, corrupt as f@#k. [Post edited 17 May 21:21]

My take on it has always been the same, why can’t we just have competent officials using it? Given that our officials seem to swan off to Saudi every other month to officiate a game over there, is there any reason why we can’t use officials from another country? You rarely ever hear of any issues in France, Germany or Holland for example. |  |

Exactly. If the linesman can't flag that then he doesn't know how to do his job.
I can understand that the ref might not have been able to see if it was in or out of the box. |  | | |

It wasn't anywhere near 5 minutes and it stopped a travesty of a wrong decision. Using that as an argument is frankly mind boggling. | |

It wasn't super clear to the naked eye it hit him on first view but what are we arguing here? VAR is bad because a linesman (not VAR) should have seen something he didn't flag for meaning we shouldn't have VAR.
It's a bizarre spin this as VAR. Donald trump logic. VAR did it's job. | |

It annoys me that they don't try something drastic in the league cup. T
ry sin bins. I think that would be a great addition to the game.
Get rid of accidental out of the game. If you do wrong it is always wrong, not having accidental in the game would make it so much better.
Still we don't see sportsmanship in the game. Why is there not a sportsmanship award? This should be rewarded. |  | | |

In the old days the ref would have had the Lino flagging offside for the 2nd Palace ‘goal’ and disallowed it, no questions asked. |  |

Not strictly true - when it was first brought in into union matches there were a lot of complaints about it. And matches were going on for a long time whilst officials were making decisions. With more experience, it has become better. |  | | |
