There are no consequences for VAR errors. That's the problem.
An apology, one or more officials given a weekend off and are back the following week.
This is a multi billion pound business. Joe Public spend thousands of pounds each every season following it. TV companies pay billions to show it, clubs pay staff hundreds of millions to play it.......
Yet when VAR fucks up week after week, there may be an apology or a weekend off for someone... How is that acceptable? Why are things not being changed? If it's not accurate enough then stop using it.
I said when VAR first came in, all they've done is move the final decision from one man in the middle of the pitch, to one man in an office, how is that progress? It still boils down to one man's interpretation of an action. It's a farce.
Your totally right mate
The level of officiating that has been in place since Messrs Riley and Webb have been at the head of it has been nothing short of scandalous. A national laughing stock and I'd agree with Captain Black on one thing - "a disgrace". No refs at the 2018 World Cup and now the best we can scrape together are Antony Taylor (demoted to the Championship this weekend), and the gormless, vacuous personality of Michael Oliver. 20 years ago, these c.unts would be lucky to get a run out in League 2
As for the whole Stockley Park thing - who are these pricks who are deciding the outcome of matches? Apparently there were 4 things being looked at in one goal incident yesterday (handball too), and after 4 minutes of some no mark c.unts looking at it, did they not once think to ask the ref to look at the monitor, rather than being surrounded in the centre circle listening with his finger in one ear?
The richest league in the world in the richest sport. I know DB10 will say how gay cricket and rugby are and can't compare them, but why can't we hear the conversation the ref is having with the VAR officials. We hear it in cricket, we hear it in rugby. What stops that being a good thing in the world's richest sport. If these c.unts are determined outcomes worth tens of millions of pounds, in stadiums of 50000 people paying a small fortune, why shouldn't we heat every single word.
Such a backward game, wide open to corruption but who is remotely surprised at FIFA, UEFA or the FA at their backward looking, morally bankrupt and corrupt ways. Football deserves itself sometimes
