Lrrr Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 All well and good but its yet another change that will only impact the premier league in England if it got introduced over here, you won't find championship, league 1 and league 2 refs being asked to explain decisions after games even Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 I can only see this worsening matters, as we've already seen VAR make massive errors. Imagine a ref explaining to the crowd the recent decision with Rashford. Just get rid of VAR full stop and change the offside and handball rules. It'll make life so much easier. Pre VAR...did we go on about the mistakes made by refs post game? Not as much as we do with the mistakes made by VAR. Bin it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the likes of Sam Allardyce, Mark Hughes etc. with their constant moaning that ensured VAR was introduced. Now all Managers moan about is VAR. Klopp is one of the very biggest bellends in that department too. Hardly ever admits that a decision against him is correct. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 What a disappointing OP. I thought by the title there was going to be a referee change for Blackburn and we were going to get the popular Keith Stroud. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s how shit they have been! You're right! TBF I've never particularly disliked him as, while we can all think of some dodgy decisions by him, he is his own man and is not swayed by the crowd or blindly conforms to the ridiculous instructions meted out by the football authorities. I only used him as the first EFL referee to come to mind. Edited January 18, 2023 by RoystonFoote'snephew Added content Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieth Stroud would have given a penalty for tackle on Samenyo at the Gate against Swansea!! As the 4th official he was seen saying that’s a penalty to the Swansea dugout but couldn’t advise our wonderful premiership ref in the middle! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 The big thing for me is speeding up the process and making it about clear and obvious errors. I am still a fan of the idea that any VAR decision can only be re-watched by the VAR team three times. If an obvious error has been made, they will be able to see that within three playbacks. If they watch it three times and still aren’t sure then it isn’t clear or obvious so the ref’s original decision stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm an advocate of scrapping VAR but if we have to keep it then the VAR referee should view incidents in real time and make a decision within a minute. If he can't decide in a minute it's not a clear or obvious error. There should also be no need to use VAR for every goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
