The VAR lads are doing their best here, but the frame stopping and line drawing is ridiculously vague.

 

Automate it and look for daylight between players to give the attacking team the advantage. I'm sick of seeing goals ruled out because a player is 1 pixel offside

I’m in favour of scrapping it completely but it’s never going to happen.

 

id be happy with AI semi-automated offsides and goal line technology. Let the onfield ref do the rest. 
 

Id consider the captain requesting 1 VAR challenge per half/game if they felt eg there was  a stonewall penalty not given.

I didn't see that you'd posted this, and have just posted the same. Think they do the best given the tech available tbh.

That’s Wykiki officially withdrawing from lobbying to join the Nerd Stat Squad.

Gemmill would like you to refer to them as the Excel Bullies.

I looked at where they were drawing those lines and thought where they positioned the first shoulder line looked like they hadn't taken into account the rest of his arm. Regardless of the penalty decision, where they drew that first line seemed to make the Chelsea player offside due to the ridiculously tight margins rather than marginally inside with a redrawn line. I still think if you're looking at that level of detail, you shouldn't be doing it from an obscure angle and should instead have some kind of line tech running right along the pitch for photo finish kind of margins. Romero is still a dirty bastard though

Aye, it was a foul. It was almost like the ref didn’t have the balls to give it but was hoping VAR would give him the nudge. 
 

He was about 6 yards away from it with a clear view.

Is this not exactly an example of what isn’t being addressed enough?

The responsibility and the skill (I know) of the on pitch officials has been completely undermined, in fact I’d go so far as to say destroyed.

The most obvious example being (pretty) obvious offside play being allowed to continue until a ‘goal’ has been scored.

I'd be happy with that like. Let the refs make the mistakes once, instead of opening it up to all their mates to make more.

Wolves have put in an official request to bin it off.

 

I’d be happy with goal like technology. I wouldn’t mind automated offsides to stay but I could live without it. 
 

No doubt there will be some bad reffing next season and they’ll all want it back.

With Gordon tonight it is so fucking obvious what this bullshit is for.

 

A fucking disgraceful experiment that has been shown far too often to be not fit for purpose.

Completely agree it should be scrapped bar for automated offside checks and goal line tech.

 

VAR is useless. I've complained til I'm blue in the face over this shit that VAR is only as useful as the people using it and the people using it are objectively useless. Like Gemmers said, let's just return to one useless idiot making decisions on the pitch and move on with our lives on that basis.

 

At this point any illusion that VAR contributes to making the game fairer for clubs outside the elect (e.g., ManU, Liverpool, PSG et al) should be forgotten. Let's just get on with football, return to celebrating a goal when it's scored.

 

VAR is an outgrowth of every referees latent delusion that they have the magical god-like capacity to make objectively correct decisions in a game of football. Let's forget that and get back to reality, shall we? The only thing we know for sure about football is that referees are universally an embarrassment to their family, have no friends, and carry a chip on their shoulder from years of being last picked on the playground. VAR check confirmed.

VAR works well in rugby where the ref is mic'ed up, its shown on screen in the stadium and they discuss it publicly, and half the time you can hardly see the ball as its underneath 10 sweaty 20 stone men
