Sir Geoff Posted February 20, 2022 Report Share Posted February 20, 2022 Mention on Tslksport a couple of days ago that a VAR lite (whatever that is) is being trialled in minor countries and has been talked about being introduced into EFL in 2/3 years time.

SydneyCity Posted February 20, 2022 Report Share Posted February 20, 2022 I genuinely hope not. While always wanting City to succeed, VAR is probably the biggest thing that makes me dislike the thought of joining the PL one day. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBW Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 I'm fine with it as long as they use it correctly and not because a players hand is offside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Love too see this in L2 (aka Division 4 :laugh: ) All that diving by the SAGS, more bookings than Pens with VAR, the cheating WANCHORS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHIPLEY RED Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 VAR lite is VAR without the offside technology. I would expect to see this in the championship within a couple of seasons. Don't want it, never liked it but its coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityfan1958 Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 Maybe if players, managers, the press and fans had been able to accept a referees decision, right or wrong, none of this would have occurred. Football has brought this on itself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the balance of this season probably 5 more, Huddersfield’s (which Bentley saved anyway) would probably have been overturned too, as it was a dive, Reading’s would have been harder to do so, though Ince dived as well, he did so into Klose, meaning there was contact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 I was originally in favour of VAR but then found the way it was deployed meant it made as many bizarre decisions as refs without VAR did. So I've reversed my support, but I still believe every game should be retrospectively video reviewed by an independent official and blatant dives be punished by a yellow if outside the box or a red if within. Teams like Reading would be losing so many of their players, the practice of simulation would soon cease. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate it though as it takes away something special about football, but that’s the modern digital world we live in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football has brought this on itself. I came up with a phrase the other day that I thought would save a lot of Managers from fines. It goes something like. "I feel the referee was unfortunate to find himself in the only position in the ground where he could not see the incident correctly". 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a question of time before the allegations of VAR being used to manipulate results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
