Benneythered Posted December 30, 2024 Posted December 30, 2024 Seems mad to me to be trialing this in the semi final of a cup thats already underway, asking for trouble. Quote

I don't think it's right having rules or decisions in one game that may not apply in another , that said .... 8 minutes ago, Never to the dark side said: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c3e32e0dx1go ITV have the games on 7th January as well as 6th February,be an interesting watch. It worked well in Rugby when I seen it , anything that makes decisions clearer has to be good. Unless it slows the game down even more. Quote
One Team Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Just heard it for the first time in the Spurs Vs Liverpool game. I’m no fan of VAR but hearing the ref real time over the tannoy did seem to give it more credibility. 2 Quote

Maltshoveller Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Forget VAR Lets here what the ref has to say about that!! Should have sent the player off 30 seconds later he scores 1 Quote

VaR decisions can and often do lake an age when it’s a close call and not always clear what decision VaR make and having the referee explain is a positive move. 1 Quote

Super Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Tbh I wouldn't mind seeing a Spurs v Newcastle final. Long way to go I know. 1 Quote

That incident between Liverpool and Spurs last season when Liverpool were denied an onside goal. Would have been interesting to hear the referee's opinion then after he'd listened to VAR! Quote

I don’t remember that particular incident but the referee is guided by VaR who now can announce their decision. However - what will happen when the ref is told by VaR to review the incident on the pitch side screen? Will he then be announcing his decision?………. . Quote
KendrickDNB Posted January 9 Posted January 9 I just can’t believe they didn’t wait until after he’d blown his whistle to turn his microphone on that must have been horrible Quote
exAtyeoMax Posted January 9 Posted January 9 The whole concept sounds horrific. Luckily we're not in it so I don't have to experience it. 1 Quote

What fans really want is to hear the whole conversation in real time like in other sports. But that seems unlikely. I did think it seemed to take a while for the ref to make his announcement which was pretty obvious in this case but maybe that is due to the communication taking time to get through. Mind you won’t mean people agree or accept the decision made . Edited January 9 by Markthehorn Quote

I've lived with being perplexed by an official's decision for over 50 years, I don't need or want to hear it now. Especially during a game! 2 Quote

Fair point and guess it doesn’t make any difference to the decision as isn’t going to change . 1 Quote
38MC Posted January 9 Posted January 9 (edited) Just another step towards post-match Sky interviews with Referee's. Previously there was never any comment on the performance of referees or decisions, then the PGMOL started responding occasionally, then Howard Webb started doing his weekly reviews of refereeing decisions, and now we are having referee's explain themselves in the stadium. The ban on refs speaking to the media is now almost impossible to justify. Edited January 9 by 38MC 1 Quote
Midred Posted Monday at 13:52 Posted Monday at 13:52 Imagine them having to explain some of the decisions over the weekend! ,, Quote

Not much more really . Afterall would be subjective which I think a lot of people didn’t realise VAR would be .

So let's see all VAR for rest of season with refs real time and let's see these var deductions justified in real time Quote
