• VAR has reduced the enjoyment of live football, whether its produced more correct outcomes is another debate (NT) -- Waterboy, Wednesday, April 22, 09:56:27am (NoHost/84.69.44.130)
  • That sums it up perfectly. Watching live is becoming a weird experience; the muted celebrations of goals, the length of time it takes, the ineptitude of the system, the lack of genuine info in the ground. It's as if it's all been made for TV, which is a bad way for the sport to go. (NT) -- Jim©, Wednesday, April 22, 10:12:20am (62-64-192-58.virtual1.co.uk/62.64.192.58)
    • That's my view too. The armchair viewer is better informed of what is going on. The home viewer is witnessing a different spectacle. The stadium viewer is yet again being being shat on. (NT) -- Mr Kurkuruza, Wednesday, April 22, 12:05:30pm (217-155-46-35.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk/217.155.46.35)

• I think it beggars belief that VAR isn't done better. Line calls should be automated and instantaneous. Penalty area incidents should simply involve VAR or the on field ref wanting a second pitch side look. Or coaches allowed an appeal or two. Cut out the five minute delays whilst VAR over analysis.

  • If it can't be sorted in 30 seconds, then it shouldn't be changed. (NT) -- Jim©, Wednesday, April 22, 10:25:30am (62-64-192-58.virtual1.co.uk/62.64.192.58)

• VAR was introduced for the Top 4 or 5 clubs to make sure they stayed the top 4 or 5 clubs .. (NT) -- Ffc, Wednesday, April 22, 10:48:04am (97e1e33c.skybroadband.com/151.225.227.60)

• In my view the pen wouldn’t have been overturned even had VAR been in place. (NT) -- Bexhill Beast, Wednesday, April 22, 11:35:50am (host31-126-124-87.range31-126.btcentralplus.com/31.126.124.87)

• VAR was introduced to legitimise match-fixing (in case it wasn't clear!) (NT) -- Fact!, Wednesday, April 22, 11:51:50am (NoHost/90.204.91.94)

• VAR was introduced to reduce uncertainty. Data analysis has been introduced for the same reason. AI will follow suit, if it hasn't already. The very factors that make football enjoyable: chance, jeapardy, human error, are slowly being erradicated. No wonder that fans are falling out of love with top level football. No wonder all the top managers are absolute wannabe perfectionists. (NT) -- Mr Kurkuruza, Wednesday, April 22, 12:13:48pm (217-155-46-35.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk/217.155.46.35)
  • Hasn't reduced uncertainty though has it? For example, why does the "5cm tolerance" rule only apply for goals AGAINST Fulham? Strange... (NT) -- Fact!, Wednesday, April 22, 12:24:09pm (NoHost/90.204.91.94)
    • If that's true then that's an example of certainty isn't it? (NT) -- Mr Kurkuruza, Wednesday, April 22, 12:29:18pm (217-155-46-35.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk/217.155.46.35)

• Premier League clubs have voted by 19-1 in favour of keeping video assistant referees (VAR) next season. Wolves triggered a vote on the use of VAR in the 2024-25 season after formally submitting a resolution to the Premier League in May. In order for VAR to be scrapped, 14 of the 20 Premier League clubs needed to vote in favour of doing so. But only Wolves voted in favour of the proposal as they failed to gain any support from other top flight clubs.
