Denbury Red Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 Henri Lansbury’s Red Card was overturned by a poor Ref and Lino decision - which had we been near the Top 6 could have been costly! Tonight Darren Bond has sent off a Rotherham guy for an elbow, when replays clearly showed it was a clash of heads - this one could have a big impact on the relegation zone. With so much money in football - even the Championship - whether we had full blown VAR - could the 4th official be looking at the same replays as we’ve seen on Sky! For goodness sake - if an error can be corrected there and then, it should surely be used! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTFABM Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 Not for me. Mistakes happen, human error is part of football. Would hate to be celebrating then getting it disallowed. I half get VAR when watching games from home. But live football it must kill any excitement left in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 Clash of heads or not, Crooks took a huge risk, and clattered the other guy. Reckless imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be surprised if he hasn’t broken or fractured his jaw/cheekbone with that. As accidental as it may have been, it was dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 Perhaps not VAR but how would people feel about a monitor pitchside that a referee can use at their discretion to double check things like the Lansbury red and the Rotherham red? Wouldn’t need stockly park or any lines etc just footage to be able to watch the play back to have another look at key decisions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would prevent it being overused and keep it less time consuming - similar to cricket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t say till next break or open play as it can go 5 minutes before that happens and you’re making players play 5 minutes they may not need to or if players get injured before the play is stopped to check. It would just need to be a tool for referees at their discretion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eardun Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 VAR - no thanks. Takes away the spontaneity of a goal celebration for starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh1t_ref_again Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 I think most would have accepted var if it was a max of let's say 20 seconds or so, where you can see on 1 or 2 replays for an obvious mistake. Var have it all wrong by trying to be too precise, which takes too long and nobody cares if a toe nail was offside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrospective bans for blatant cheating would curtail it pretty quickly, without the spoiling effect VAR has on the spontaneity of the moment.

I mean to overturn penalties and the like during the game. Pointless doing later when the team at the wrong end of the decision has lost points.

JamesBCFC Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 Goal line technology works because it is clear cut. Its over the line or not. VAR doesn't because there is objectivity and individual views on events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red cards, goals and penalty kicks that have already been awarded. As soon as the game continues the opportunity is missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
